Some runners said that they are beginners, 180cm tall, 93kg in weight, a little low arch, want to exercise through running, I heard that the ASICS K series has strong protection, but I am afraid that I can't step on it, please ask which one is better to choose between the ASICS KAYANO series and the GT-2000 series?
Let's talk about the conclusion first, for runners with a large weight and low arch over 80kg, it is recommended to choose the ASICS KAYANO series.
Functionally, both the ASICS KAYANO series and the GT-2000 series are support-based running shoes, both of which are suitable for runners with low arches, flat feet, or over-pronation of their running style.
The difference is that the GT-2000 series is a top-of-the-line support running shoe, which is more suitable for small and medium-sized runners within 80kgThe KAYANO series is a top-of-the-line support running shoe that is not only suitable for runners with a heavy weight of 80kg or more, but also friendly to beginners.
Currently, the GT-2000 series has been updated to the 12th generation, and the Kayano series has been updated to the 30th generation.
In terms of running shoe configuration, the latest running shoes of both series use the latest running shoe technology from ASICS, namelyFF Blast Plus cushioning foam and PureGel cushioning compound。This combination makes the running shoe lighter, more cushioned, and more comfortable and soft than the previous generation.
The difference is that the Kayano series, which is the top support, uses more cushioning materials in the midsole and has a higher cushioning limitAt the same time, it adopts a stable support with more outstanding performance4D guidance system
In short, the Kayano series is more equipped and more suitable for heavy weights and beginners who need more cushioning and support protection;The GT-2000 series has a lower configuration and is suitable for small and medium-sized runners up to 80kg.
