Great shoe, but A LOT of Shoe

4/5

Overall

I have worn Asics for 12+yrs as my main trainer. Clearly I keep coming back, but lately it feels like it's just a lot of shoe. Not too heavy but clunky and thick. I go back and forth between the Kayano and Nimbus but overall same comments about both. I just remember running in a later version that (I'm talking like 8+yrs ago) that was not this thick and clunky! It's like they are trying to do too much w/ the shoe. But again, I've been a faithful Asics buyer for 12+ years.... Love the wide toe box. Colors could be improved. The support is great! Arch area is on point. Really like the last it is built on.

5/5

Overall

I have been running in Asics Kayano running shoes since their introduction. I like the support at the back of the heel cap, the stable traction and the depth of the toe box.
