Great Update

By Dan

from Charlottesville, VA

Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Kayano 19 Running Shoe:

To go in line with the Kayano trend, this updated GEL-Kayano 19 is even lighter than the GEL-Kayano 18, and you can definitely feel it when you run. ASICS reconstructed the upper of this shoe so it is more form fitting, providing extra comfort and stability. I have run about 50 miles in this shoe so far and see no sign of wear and tear.

    I discovered ASICS when I was a 7-day perweek runner. I'm one of those rare types--high-arched over-pronator. I've tried many brands with many disappointments. ASICS never disappoints. RRS guided me to this shoe a long time ago and they never disappoint either.

          Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Kayano 19 Running Shoe:

          These are my second pair. The first were the Kayano 18's. I am 5'11" and 197lbs. I need the pronation control. These give me the control but don't give me the Clydesdale feel of other sneakers. They are incredibly light!
          I was going to throw out my 18's when I got these, but I took down the higher tread on the soles with a belt sander to even out the treads again. I'm not using the 18's to run now, but I've extended the life of wearing them significantly.

          If you're looking for light and pronation control and able to handle some sick pounding--these are a great running shoe.

          Comments about Mens ASICS GEL-Kayano 19 Running Shoe:

          I have run in the asics 3030 for many years and found it to be a superb shoe. I was very concerned when the model shifted to the gt 3000. I actually decided to go back to the new gel Kayano 19 as they had finally done away with the ridiculous asymmetric lacing system. I had run in the Kayano's for years until they went to the asymetric lacing which really hurt my feet. Big mistake to go back to the Kayano 19. I am a late overpronator and the Kayano 19 was just terrible. Too soft and the spine in the sole support system could be felt rubbing into the bottom of my foot. They felt very inefficient with no "rebound". I brought them back to Road Runner (great exchange policy!) and got the new asics gt 3000. Much to my surprise, I love the shoe. It has nearly the same feel and superb efficiency of the 3030 series. I am quite happy and will stay with this model. It has plenty of cushioning and has the same stability features of the 3030. For those of you who don't care for the Kayano anymore, check out the gt 3000.

              Orginally started using Kayano 12 to relieve knee and heel pain and have been using ever since. However, this last update did away with any heel support and reduced the cushioning to the point I can no longer run with these shoes. If the Kayano 19 is a big seller for Asics, please bring back the older versions as a true stability plus as another model.

                      I use them almost everyday for my job,i spend a lot of time on my feet and needed something to help
                      I used version 18 which i liked too,but i feel better with the actual version since i find it more lightweight,(with a bit of less cushion in the forefoot)but generally a better fit for me

                      I like the 4 way strechable mesh which gives more space for my toes to move.
                      I also wear the green superfeet insoles which i find very helpul for my high arches and general support for my feet.

                            Kayano has been my model since I found it out in the 14. I fell in love with the cushioning which always allowed me to run farther. This is the first model to deviate from that. They are noticeably harder and are cutting down my mileage significantly. I don't know what shoe to go to now. The weight savings are negligible compared to the lack of cushioning. I'm concerned I'm going to get injured because of pain in new places. A bit of a quirk they've knocked a few seconds off every mile.

                              After trying several shoes at RoadRunner, these were the ones that fit my feet in the best way. I have almost no arc, so I was in high need of a good pair of shoes to control my pronator problem. The personalized insoles along with these shoes made a HUGE difference. Now my shins don't hurt like they used to and I can definitely feel a difference while running. I also love the design! It's a huge win for me and my legs & feet have been feeling the difference.
