Review on ASICS Gel Kayano Training Athletic Numeric_11_Point_5 Men's Shoes and Athletic by Glen Elevyn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Improved for the worse is the best in my rating

Thought I'd do everything right if I stayed true to the Gel-Kayano. My favorite was the 25. This one doesn't have much to do with the old one anymore. First of all, the shoe was actually too small for me. I've always gotten along well with 1 size larger at Asics and also at other manufacturers. The shoe here tapers towards the front more than before and the side presses against my big toe. There is also not enough space at the front compared to my old 25 model. In addition, the heel collar behind was set further down. After the first run km an uncomfortable feeling spread. In addition, despite the tight lacing, there was always the feeling that you slipped out of the back when running. Another thing to mention is the cushioning, for my taste that's a lot too good. Significantly more sinking than before, which is definitely too soft for me. In addition to the wobbly complete mesh all around, this is all in all for my claim to many improvements in the wrong direction.
