I loved my Kayano 14s, so when it was time to buy new shoes, I hit the internet for a second pair. Unfortunately, they quit making them. I decided to order a pair of the 15s, but I was disappointed. They felt very different from the 14s, and not only caused a lot of foot and ankle pain, they also made my lower back hurt. I sent them back and went to my local running store where I was introduced to the 16s. According to the store, there was a pretty quick turn around between the 15s and 16s. I feel the 16s compare much better to the 14s. My first time out in them, I was able to go 9 miles with very little toe-rubbing/breaking-in issues.

Long story short, if you are looking to replace your 14s, skip the 15s, and try the 16s. They're a much better transition for us flat-footed and moderate pronators!

Great shoes! December 12, 2009

Color Name:White/Riviera Blue/Storm| Size Name:12 B(M) US|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought these last minute to run a 5K. They fit perfectly, even with my custom orthotics(I had to pull out the original lining). I would definitely purchase these again.

I love this shoe; It is the most comfortable shoe I own and I love working out in them. These shoes saved me from very painful shin splints that I would often get from previous shoes. When I first bought them, I did not have any pain from breaking them in for a few weeks, but then a couple of my toes got calluses that were a little painful at first, but went away the more I used the shoes. The only disappointing factor about these shoes is they were weak in the construction area. The heel on the inside of the shoe got torn up within 2 months of ownership, and the left side of the opening lip of the shoe got torn within the first 6 weeks of ownership. frustrated with their short life after being told they would last around 8 months, I took it back to the store and I am very happy to say they made an exchange! I am hoping the last pair was just a fluke and this new pair will stay together longer. I am still in love with these shoes and highly recommend these--but be aware of any signs of damage/wear and tear early on and return them immediately if noticed!

Sherry[s opinion
Shoe is very helpful in avoiding pounding to foot in treadmill exercising. They are light weight and not cumbersome. The price is comparable to other running shoes.

Kayano not OK for me
This particular ASICS running shoe did not fit me in the width. I went back to my original shoe style.
