Asics GEL-KAYANO 17 
Posted: 05/07/11
'light, with plenty of support and cushioning'
Strengths:
Comfortable all round. i dont have wide feet.
Cushioning - excellent, especially the heel. Good enough for me though as a forefoot runner.
Weight - I think they feel light on my feet.
No blisters or rubbing, and no recurrence of shin splints I recovered from last year.
Weaknesses:
None as yet, having had them 4 weeks.
Overall:
Very Good.

Garmin Forerunner 405 
Posted: 21/07/10
'Excellent piece of kit for training and monitoring your pace'
Strengths:
Due to GPS extremely accurate in terms of measuring distance covered and pace. Graphics, chart, data and map analysis via automatic wireless download to laptop and Garmin website provides fantastic mapping and analysis.
SuccessUsed it to run at a set pace and beat my 10k pb
Weaknesses:
Instructions arent brilliant but you get used to it fairly quickly.
Not cheap, but you are getting the best
Overall:
Ive never been good at judging pace, but this does it for you.
Brilliant bit of kit and if you are interested in stats, this does it for you via auto download and website.

Asics GT-2140 
Posted: 21/01/10
'They are ok(ish), but took a bit of getting used to'
Strengths:
Snug Fit and plenty of support and light weight
Weaknesses:
Seemed quite narrow compared with my previous asics.
Had a problem with blisters for first few weeks on ball of feet. Dont know why, it wasnt rubbing and Ive never had problems before - perhaps due to the memory foam??
Had to cut sharp liner edges off that were rubbing instep. After that no problems
Overall:
Ok, but not as good as other asics (but are now discontinued)Ive had in the past. Scores given are for once Id run them in and made the minor trims
