5.0 out of 5 stars Skip the 15's, go for the 16's!, November 30, 2009

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!

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 am coming off a long recover to a major hip surgery. I am a triathlete gone injured. After 7 months of doing not much at all I was given the Ok to start trying to run. I typically buy the Nimbus, but the Kayano had a little more cushion and were the same price on sale so I upgraded. I have a similar pair of Nimbus, they lace on an angle up the bridge of the foot. The first couple times I wore them I thought they would rub, it definately took some getting used to. I didn't realize that this pair was the same way until I went to look. I actually prefer it now, it seems to lock the shoe on better. These shoes have helped get me back on the road to recovery, in fact I ran 10 minutes without stopping yesterday at a pretty good clip....I'm still walking. The cushioning has been just what I needed! Definately worth checking out if you need that extra support and cushioning!
