asics gel kayano evo

Under Armour? Nike? Adidas? flipflops? (just kidding, asics dynaflyte flip flops are a disaster for me) I'm in the Netherlands but I think most of the US or UK models are available here too. Thanks!Thanks so much! Went to Dick's today and tried on a TON of shoes-having a lot of trouble finding anything I like, compared to the old school cushiony bouncy feel. You were right-Nimbus 17 was way too slow, squishy (felt like memory foam-your description was perfect!) The best was the Asics Kayano 21, but it is UGLY! And $!!! I kind of liked the Asics 2000 3, but again, ugly and dated looking, and pretty narrow. I tried many brands and didn't love anything =ØAÞI currently am addicted to the Cumulus 13 but of course can't find any more and have worn out the 4 pairs I have. I run frequent half marathons and 1 full a year. I wasn't a fan of the later cumulus models or the nimbus 14. How will this Nimbus 17 compare to my Cumulus 13? If its too soft do you have any other Asics options?

Incredibly comprehensive asics fuzex and accurate review thanks guys! I took delivery of my 17s last week and have put 30k on them in the last 7 days (have previously been running Nimbus 15s for last 12 months). I also took Michael Williams' advice (comment below) and changed the supplied Asics insoles for the firmer/less squishy Currex RunPros, and wow, I think I've asics gel contend 3 found my perfect running shoe! And with this minimal modification, I certainly wouldn't describe them as a slow running shoe anymore. I've been knocking out steady 4:30-5m kilometers without too much effort and they certainly don't feel like they're soaking up my energy. So people reading this who run steady 5 minute ks shouldn't be put off thinking that this is too slow a shoe for them it really isn't. Oh and the dayglo' green colour is great& much brighter in the flesh than on the screen =Ø Þ

I love running (and I am not particularly interested in speed so much) and want a good pair of shoes that don't cost me the earth& Any recommendations?Hello there, as a asics gel cumulus novice runner I ran in the Nike Free 7.0 with flat feet that severely overpronated. After injuring myself (due to running in un supportive shoes) my podiatrist recommended orthotics for my fallen arches and pronation issue. Currently I am wearing the Asics Gel Kayano 21 with my orthotics, but feel that the engineering of this shoe plus orthocis, may cause over correcting issues within my foot. If not the Asics Gel Kayano 21, what shoe(s) do you recommend I wear with orthotics that correct a flat footed overpronator? Thank you for your time.I've tried on both the Asics Gel Cumulus 17 and the Asics Gel Nimbus 17 and both are very comfy.

It is plain to see how much of a marketing scam Asics Gel is, even in its top end neutral cushioning model. The two penny shaped Gel pads are all that's actually inside the midsole, and the rest is all show. That is why I love Kayano 18 more than Kayano 19. In Kayano 18 we can see two channels of gels across the forefoot. Starting from Kayano 18, due to the situation that asics had to split the gel up for the sake of the guidance line, they splited the gel into two parts for the forefoot. I never hate asics, I just didn't like the way they reallocate the gel in the forefoot area.

Back in the day (1990-ish), Asics models such as the Gel Runner 90/110/GT-Express had sizeable rear and front Gel inserts which were articulated. The later versions were watered down, leading to what you see today. Most cushioning in Asics nowadays comes from asics gel kayano evo the foam, and not from those penny sized inserts.Hi Marta, Have you ran in other highly cushioned shoes before? The reason I ask is because I had the same problem with the Nimbus 17. However, I've discovered that I have that same issue of my feet going numb in other highly cushioned shoes. It happen to me with the Hoka Bondi 4, the Muzino Wave Enigma 5, the Asics Kayano 21. For some reason, that I don't know, I've been unable to run in highly cushioned shoes because of the [img]http://www.jeanwyllys.com/images/detail/asics gel kayano evo-532whk.jpg[/img] numbness. I thought perhaps you may have the same issue.
