5.0 out of 5 stars In shoes, as in life, you get what you pay for..., August 13, 2010

If you are looking for an everyday shoe or have only a passing interest in running, you'll probably want to go buy something less expensive. Yes, the Kayano 16 is an expensive shoe. If you have adopted a running lifestyle, are running a significant number of miles per week (25+), or are training for a marathon or half-marathon, you know the value of a good shoe and the Kayano is worth the investment.
The quality of the construction is fantastic. I have logged 400 miles on these shoes and they are holding together perfectly. The ride is soft and the shoe feels light on the feet. The space in the toe box has drastically reduced the number of blackened toes and lost toe nails. The manner of running the lacing down the line of the foot makes for a much more comfortable and secure fit.
If you are a runner looking for a great investment in your feet, the Kayano 16 is a fantastic choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the BEST running shoes around., October 13, 2010

This review is from: ASICS Men's GEL-Kayano 16 Running Shoe (Apparel)

This shoe has absolutely the best support there is around. I shopped around a bit and nothing could beat this one. The first time I used it, I felt the medial arch support it gave (that's why it's great for people with flexible flat feet - moderate overpronators). This shoe is perfect for running on roads, in trails and moderately uneven terrain. It cushions for impact and if you want better support than this, I would suggest getting the green Superfeet shoe insert in place of the current insert for better shock absorption.

This is a shoe that I see myself using not just every day at work (I am a physical therapist and I am on my feet 8 hours a day) but also getting many miles of running on them. You are getting an excellent pair of shoes for its price.

Sizing: Feels true to size

Width: Feels true to width

Pros: Good Arch Support, Durable, Breathable, Moderate Pronation Control, Cushions Impact, Comfortable

Best Uses: Road Running

I have been using Kayanos since the 12s, getting one or two every year. They are getting better, and this is the best so far. I am a big guy with over 200 pounds , and I run about 15 miles per week. These shoes provide good cushioning and support, my feet, knees and ankles like them.
