Product Description

The popular Asics Gel Kayano 15 is a classic and has been made even better for 2009, with the addition of Asics Asymmetrical Lacing for improved upper fit and a new midsole platform offering enhanced comfort. The GEL-Kayano 15 also features a lighter platform weighing in at 12.8 ounces, almost one ounce lighter than the previous version, by incorporating an innovative injection-molded Solyte midsole material. Other updates include a larger rear-foot Gel Cushioning System which delivers more of the incredible "ride" that has already become its legacy in running footwear. Also features Asics proprietary Impact Guidance System and a ComforDry sockliner.

The Asics Gel Kayano is a stability shoe - Stability shoes are for runners who mildly overponate (feet turning inward) and need extra support though the heel, midsole and post areas. Stability shoes will help reduce overpronation, which causes excessive foot motion and increases your risk of injury.

Features:

Impact guidance system that enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.

Asymmetrical lacing design that enhances upper fit and comfort while minimizing the potential for irritation.

Gender specific space trusstic system that recognizes the normal periodic changes in the shape of the woman's arch and provides for the controlled deformation of the arch into the space within the system.

DuraSponge outsole for superior durability and cushioning with less weight.

Solyte midsole material that is lighter than Asics standard EVA and SpEVA, combined with improved cushioning and durability.

ComforDry sockliner that provides optimal cushioning performance in a cooler, drier, healthier environment.

Average weight: 11.2 oz. (Size 8.5)

From the Manufacturer
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Runs Small, Narrow Toebox, Good Support
I have worn Asics for years and "upgraded" to the Kayano 15 after my Nimbus 9's started to wear out. I usually order my true size, 8.5 B, and don't need to size up. However, these shoes, even when the laces were loosened to try and increase the toebox area, were still a bit snug across the toes. I ran in them 3 times and developed blisters on both sides of my toes each time. I paid a lot of money for these shoes and have always been very happy with my Asics in the past, but these did not live up to my expectations. They are a bit stiff also, but do provide good cushioning/support as they did alleviate the knee pain I experience when my shoes need to be replaced. I would advise you to go up 1/2 size for maximum comfort in the toebox which runs narrower than the Nimbus and GT2130 shoes.

First run in new ASICS: 5 MILES!
I have worn all types of running shoes, from Nikes & Asics years ago, to New Balance, Saucony (which I love) and now back to Asics (although I still have my Sauconys). I JUST bought the GEL-KAYANO 15 and they are WONDERFUL! First day out in them, 5 miles, just a test drive and I felt like I had clouds on my feet! Fabulous shoe! Hope they last for a good long time! As a runner, I think it's best to not be a die-hard brand-fan, but be flexible because sometimes thay slow down production of your favorite shoe so we have to have more than one favorite brand or style! 2 thumbs way up! AND huge thanks & praise to Ben at PRO FIT SHOES in Plam Coast, Florida for putting up with a finicky runner!

Best Kayano yet!
I have owned Kayanos for the last 3 generations and this one is even better than the rest! I have narrow feet and the AA width fits my foot perfectly. They're wonderful support for over-pronated feet and incredibly comfortable - I feel like I could run for days when I'm wearing them. 100% worth the price tag!!!!!
