Gel-Kayano 27 Lite-Show
Enjoy excellent comfort and advanced support with the GEL-KAYANO® 27 LITE-SHOW™ running shoe. The redesigned mesh upper helps keep feet cool, while the sole is more flexible to help promote a more natural roll through the gait cycle. This limited model offering also incorporates reflective accents throughout the design, which allow you to stay more visible in low-light conditions. At midstance, the foot should stop pronating and re-supinate for an efficient toe-off. To help this natural motion, we incorporate DYNAMIC DUOMAX® technology to help support the foot and increase stability for runners whose feet roll inward too much (overpronate). The midsole also integrates SPACE TRUSSTIC™ technology, which provides stability and reduces the overall weight to help promote a smoother transition from foot strike to toe-off. This added stability is complemented by deeper forefoot flex grooves for a smoother roll through toe-off, allowing the shoe to move more naturally with the foot. The GEL-KAYANO® 27 LITE-SHOW™ model is an excellent choice for both competitive and noncompetitive runners looking for an everyday trainer that combines comfort with support.

Please refer to the fit guide and reviews on products for additional information.
Please follow the directions below:
- Wearing a sock of medium thickness, stand on a piece of paper.
