I've gone through multiple running shoes since I started running years ago, but few have lived up to the Asics Gel Kayano 30. Although they don't hold a spot in our list of the best running shoes, these are my personal favorite shoes and the ones I currently train in. 

For a limited time, you can get the Asics Gel Kayano 30 on sale for just $119 at Asics. That's $40 off and an excellent discount on a pair of running shoes that are rarely discounted. Alternatively, Amazon also has them on sale for $119.

These running shoes are designed to provide advanced stability and soft cushioning for neutral runners and overpronators alike. I've been using them for just shy of a year and love how they're lightweight yet provide excellent cushioning and support. The women's shoe is also on sale for $119.

I've been using these shoes since last August, and I find that they're great for casual runs on the treadmill, HIIT sessions, and long distance running outdoors. As an overpronator, I find they're great for runners who prioritize stability and want a smooth, plush ride. If you prefer to "feel the ground" as you run, these shoes probably aren't for you because Asics' PureGEL technology does a great job with shock absorption. Each foot strike is muted by the shoes' layers of foam so it feels as if you're running on clouds. 

I also like that the shoes are very breathable. They've remained dry even on my 6-mile outdoor runs in New York's hot, humid summers. Additionally, I normally opt for 2E width shoes, and with these Asics I feel the standard width is perfect for me. 

That said, I wouldn't recommend these shoes as your everyday gym shoes. The extra cushioning might be too distracting when performing squats or deadlifts. Otherwise, these are my current go-to shoes for stability running. So much so that I'm buying an extra pair now that they're on sale.
