 Runs Small, Narrow Toebox, Good Support Jun 17, 2009
By Jennifer Ayers-Gould
"~*~ Passionate Spirit ~*~"
I have worn Asics for years and "upgraded" to the Kayano 15 after my Nimbus 9's started to wear out. I usually order my true size, 8.5 B, and don't need to size up. However, these shoes, even when the laces were loosened to try and increase the toebox area, were still a bit snug across the toes. I ran in them 3 times and developed blisters on both sides of my toes each time. I paid a lot of money for these shoes and have always been very happy with my Asics in the past, but these did not live up to my expectations. They are a bit stiff also, but do provide good cushioning/support as they did alleviate the knee pain I experience when my shoes need to be replaced. I would advise you to go up 1/2 size for maximum comfort in the toebox which runs narrower than the Nimbus and GT2130 shoes.

 First run in new ASICS: 5 MILES! Sep 12, 2009
By Kelley Barrigar
"Bibliophile-Run Diva"
I have worn all types of running shoes, from Nikes & Asics years ago, to New Balance, Saucony (which I love) and now back to Asics (although I still have my Sauconys). I JUST bought the GEL-KAYANO 15 and they are WONDERFUL! First day out in them, 5 miles, just a test drive and I felt like I had clouds on my feet! Fabulous shoe! Hope they last for a good long time! As a runner, I think it's best to not be a die-hard brand-fan, but be flexible because sometimes thay slow down production of your favorite shoe so we have to have more than one favorite brand or style! 2 thumbs way up! AND huge thanks & praise to Ben at PRO FIT SHOES in Plam Coast, Florida for putting up with a finicky runner!

Best Kayano yet! Oct 15, 2009
By KT
I have owned Kayanos for the last 3 generations and this one is even better than the rest! I have narrow feet and the AA width fits my foot perfectly. They're wonderful support for over-pronated feet and incredibly comfortable - I feel like I could run for days when I'm wearing them. 100% worth the price tag!!!!!

These are my very first pair of Asics Nov 25, 2009
By bastetlechat

I'm a long time Merrell fan, but I thought I'd give these a try based on other reviews.
First, it is true that the fit is tighter than I'm used too. I was not sure my foot was going in! (I wear medium with a narrow heel. I also have a bunion) My foot did go in after loosening the laces all the way down. The fit up front was snug, and if my toe nails were not so very short, these would have been returned. My toes are short which kept my bunion above the stitching so common in that area.
With some serious doubt I kept them on and went shopping. Right from the start my heels were happy! -and the front of the shoe was snug but seemed to conform to my foot. I've come to feel that my feet have'nt had this level of support in years!(The lacing up front is slightly to the side. I'm convinced this adds to the support my feet feel).
I live in this pair of shoes now. I work in a hospital. I'm on the go all the time, and my feet feel great!
I plan to purchase at least one more pair before they change the style on me!

Love them! Jul 10, 2009
By Scheree Winters
"Running Mama"
I have had earlier models in the Kayano line, but I love all the up dates! I run over 30 miles a week so I love how cushiony they are. It really saves my joints. The thing that I love most about Asics is that when I put them on I just have the urge to head right out and run. I think it's the way the toe box curves up, it just makes me want to lean forward and go! I have read complaints on this site about the toe box having too much room in the Kayano 15. I have to disagree with that. The toe box is comfortably snug without making the heel too tight which for me has been a problem with other shoes. Because of this my toe doesn't slide to the front of the shoe and jamb my toes. On a more superficial note: I also really like the paisley print fabric on the inside of the shoe. It's those nice visual details that make me want to wear them around town and when doing strength training after their running mileage has long passed! The only complaint I could even give is the price. I wish great running shoes weren't so expensive but at least you get what you pay for with the Kayano line.
