I went to the Asics 2170, which asics black mens were alright, but not like the 2160. I then went to the GT-2000 which again, were alright, but nothing to brag about. I took the plunge to the more expensive Kayano 20 and I loved them. It was the first time since the 2160 that I really was impressed by a running shoe. I went through three pairs in one year. I nursed along my third pair waiting for the Kayano 21 to come out, and I bought a pair when they arrived.What a fantastic page! I'm returning to running after a long spell of rest  the impact was jarring an old neck injury and causing too much pain.

Technology sure has advanced since my last Asics. Would you say that cushioning is the most important intervention in preventing shock/jarring (especially to body as a whole, not just lower body)? Any thoughts you might have are greatly appreciated.Hi& I discovered your site today and I think it's great. Here's my issue& .I'm a 60 year old, pretty fit woman who goes to a asics black shoes mixed gym group. We do circuit training, indoor hockey or basketball, and run quite a bit, too. I don't really understand about all this pronation business. I feel I need a shoe with good cushioning as I get a certain amount of pain in my legs and joints as the gym floor is very hard.

I did  feel' the arch asics cumulus 20 when walking around the store which did worry me, but again, not as prominent as it was in the Asics. Ran for 10 mins and didn't feel the arch when running (probably as I have forefoot strike), but instantly felt it subtly there again when I got off the treadmill. I also felt the shoe wasn't quite wide enough, even at 2E. I ran a few more times in both shoes and I just felt the Adrenaline as going to be too snug/tight down the sides of the little toe as my feet warmed up.Something in me wanted to like the Brooks more in the same way I really wanted to like the Asics, don't know why.

But in the end, asics cumulus womens the doubts of the Brooks (fit and arch) wouldn't go away and I really couldn't fault the New Balance. Having worn 2E New Balance in the past, I suppose it was logical that their shoe would be the one I ended up choosing.Hi, Thanks for all the great reviews on shoes, makes for interesting reading. I am currently training for a marathon in a couple months. Having run a few halfs my PB is 1hr34 and im weighing about 84kgs and 6ft4. I have two pairs of shoes, Nike Lunareclipse 2s and Adidas Boston Boost 5s. I find the LE2s better for longer runs as they slightly more comfortable, but get a slight pain in right knee, but my feet are relatively okay after a longer run(20km plus).

I wear a Nike Lunareclipse for a casual shoe but am look ing for another walking shoe and am thinking of the Asics Gel Kayano 21& ? Could you advise please on the best options and also other possible casual shoes I could wear as alternatives to the NIke Lunareclipse. Thanks so much for your help!Hi Team, Really love your reviews they are great! I am abt 90kg who normally does abt 7km per run 4 times weekly. Think I am one of a rare kind who ran in the asics gt3000 v2 and they felt great. When it wore out I bought the gt 3000 v3 but somehow did not feel right, as I started getting pain and aches on both of my outer shins.

Could you provide me with any tips for making my asics fuzex lyte decision?I'm currently running in the Kayano 21 and looking to purchase a secondary (less expensive preferably) pair of runners. I love the Kayano except for one issue  towards the end of fast runs (around 3km) I end up with pressure pain along the bottom outside of my feet which I suspect has something to do with correction for my overpronation. Do you have any recommendations of shoes to look at? Was eyeing off Asics GT-1000 2. Thanks!I am a size 10, have a more or less flat foot(with very little arch) and my foot is quite wide.

"Thanks to a bottom of the barrel barrier of entry from both a sticker price and availability perspective, the Fila Disruptor has gone absolutely fucking nuclear. You hate to see it."
