Amazing beyond words. These shoes compensated for a lifelong foot problem.

Sometimes we get used to certain things and when it changes we rebel. However, in this case, the changes to the veritable Kayano are a good thing. I can really feel the differences and once I took the time to mentally adjust I realized that the model 18 is a big improvement on the model 17. They are lighter. There is more cushioning under the front of the foot, and the cushioning under the heel has been improved/adjusted and feels better to my foot at least. The tongue is a little shorter up top making it easier to tie your bow on the padded part. The 18's have better/improved lateral support and stability. The mid shoe width is a little wider, so it doesn't feel as confining there and adds to the lateral stability. I wore New Balance cross trainers for a long time for golf and the leather uppers had good lateral support, something I felt was a little weak in the Kayano 17's. Everybody is different in what they like, so my comments are somewhat subjective, though I have tried to described what I think are clear improvements. To me these are very nice shoes and a worthy successor to the 17, but test drive them...go to your local big box store, and take a pair home to walk around the house in(keep the receipt). I think you'll see what I'm saying. Then shop around the web to find the best deal, they are pricey at the moment cause they just came out...or wait until later in the year when the price drops. Happy trails...

  1. I bought these shoes a week ago. This is a much improved version than the 17's. The shoes space has increased a little and the comfort (cushioning) near the toes is much more improved and feels so good. I basically have a flat foot so the duomax provides the hump to make my foot feel like a normal arch. The Gel cushioning is similar to the 17 and feels good. These are the best shoes and i would recommend them to my friends. It feels like i am walking on some cloud!!!These are pricey now as they are just released and i will sure get one more after the price has gone down. Love these shoes!!! Awesome!!!

  3. I've been running in Kayanos since the 14 and I really enjoy these. I've had these since November 4th, but I've already put 100 miles on them. I run about 60-70 a week and 80-90 during training. They are much lighter and are an improvement from the Kayano 17. I've been running on them for the past 2 weeks and I like them more than the previous models. Everyone's foot is different though so this is just my own experience.

  4. I purchased my first pair of Kayano (14's) back in 2009 in preparation for my first Ironman. Those shoes performed so well, that I haven't switched brands or models since! The main reason I've kept going back to the Kayano's is due to the absence of foot/leg pain. I'm classified as a "neutral" runner, but like the feel of a structured support shoe like the Kayano 18. I suffered from shin splints and fractured heel bones in the past. In my case, use of this shoe, along with better training techniques, have mitigated my pain issues.
    They are not the lightest shoes for racing, but I would rather run with a couple extra ounces and be pain free.

  6. Aging knees and a calf injury took me out of running some time ago, but I still walk, bike and hit the gym regularly. I find that cross trainers can be stiff and a bit tough on my feet so I went for some high end running shoes. Very glad I did. These had a perfect fit out of the box and my feet do not tire or get sore on walks and workouts that used to cause problems sometimes. I usually buy two pairs of shoes at once, and got a pair of somewhat cheaper Pumas at the same time. The difference is astounding, so I'm sending the Pumas back (fit problems also) and getting another pair of these. This great shoe is really worth the high price to me.

  7. Bought these with hopes that I would suddenly start to enjoy running. That is probably asking too much of a shoe, but these are by far the most comfortable, supportive, and well designed running shoes I have had the pleasure of owning.
