They feel lighter than my Kayanos that I have stuck to for a few years. My foot feels stable but I do have orthotics in them. Good toe room which is unusual as I have found Adidas to be too narrow in the past. Def feels like a spring in my step when running. Have yet to do a longer run in them but I don't feel like there will be a problem at all. | | Weaknesses:
They do look quite clumpy but they don't feel like it. I would use a racer for 10k's but for longer training runs would def use these.
Hate the colour of the laces..... can't find anything else wrong with them to be honest. | | Overall:
I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the Asics Kayanos and they are cheaper but I also feel a lot more stable in them. They are not as clumpy as they look. It says here that they are for the larger runner which I am not, I just need the support. |

| | | Posted: 12/03/10 | | 'The usual Kayanos. Great straight from the box but hefty price tag' | | Strengths:
I have run in Kayanos for the last 2 years and am on my 4th pair. The 16's I think feel marginally lighter than the 15's and as like every other pair you can do a normal run straight from the box with no problems. Good support and reasonable cushioning and nice wide toe box which I need. Good breathability. My feet sweat an asul lot and these keep them reasonably dry. Reasonable grip for occasional trail runs to. | | Weaknesses:
The cons have to be the hefty price tag,although if you shop around you can get them for approx £40 cheaper. I cannot understand why they are so expensive. I find the heel section wears away a bit too quick for my liking but that could just be the way I run..Colour, would be nice if the black version were more easily available. | | Overall:
I like the Kayanos, they do everything that I need them to do. Unfortunatley I cannot see that there is a vast difference between the 16's and the 15's. Where as you could really notice the difference between the 14's and the 15's. When I need to replace my 15's I wanted to try the 16's but now I have I would say that if you find the 15's at a good price then go for them as there really seems to be little difference. |
