Can the Asics Gel Kayano Running shoe also be used for cross training? The current model Kayano 21 doesn't have good reviews on the Asics site but has good reviews on other sites. |

I wear a pair of Asics Gel Kali's for all my indoor workouts (I do tons of high impact, love plyos, and lateral moves like skater jumps are my absolute favorite). They're a minimalist running shoe, and I think the lateral support is just fine in them (far better than a pair of Reebok cross trainers I have, where I constantly feel like I'm sliding off the footbed). Haven't tried the Kyano (they're way out of my price range, for one thing), BUT I have three new pairs of Asics Gel shoes on the way from Zappos. I tried out the Gel Contend in the store and really liked how they felt (and, yes, I did skater jumps at Famous Footwear. ); they just didn't have my size in stock. One thing I discovered is that using *all* the lacing eyelets on a running shoe can dramatically improve the lateral support. If you look at the link for the Contend, they're only laced to the top of the foot--but there are additional eyelets that go farther around/across the ankle, and lacing those does make the shoe feel substantially more supportive (although you may wish to use fewer eyelets for running).

I guess I want too much from one shoe. Cushiony enough to go on long walks and absorb a lot of impact on plyometric plyo moves and enough lateral stability and support to weight train or for other cross training. Also prefer black so it goes better with my regular clothes. Wonder if the Asics Gel Volleycross Revolution is any good. They are for volleyball. http://www.zappos.com/asics-gel-voll..._sims_p_ab_t_1 |
