Each shoe clocks in at only 6.2 ounces but doesn't skimp on support. I recently tested a pair during my three-to-four-mile runs; here's what I thought of the line.

As I've mentioned in the past, I'm a loyal Asics purchaser when it comes to running shoes, so when a pair of brand-new Gel Kayano 17s showed up at my desk, I couldn't wait to take them for a spin. My last pair of Gel Kayanos was the 14s, purchased two years ago, right before my first marathon. Since then, I've been running in the still-awesome but less expensive Gel Pulse or GT 2110, promising Read more
