From the Manufacturer
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Skip the 15's, go for the 16's!
I loved my Kayano 14s, so when it was time to buy new shoes, I hit the internet for a second pair. Unfortunately, they quit making them. I decided to order a pair of the 15s, but I was disappointed. They felt very different from the 14s, and not only caused a lot of foot and ankle pain, they also made my lower back hurt. I sent them back and went to my local running store where I was introduced to the 16s. According to the store, there was a pretty quick turn around between the 15s and 16s. I feel the 16s compare much better to the 14s. My first time out in them, I was able to go 9 miles with very little toe-rubbing/breaking-in issues.

Long story short, if you are looking to replace your 14s, skip the 15s, and try the 16s. They're a much better transition for us flat-footed and moderate pronators!

I have had 14's, 15's and now the 16's which are going back!
I am training for a spring marathon and I found my 14's to be to stiff. I went with the 16's per the sports store person! After one long run of 12 miles I developed swelling on the top of my foot where the laces are tied. Be careful of the new design of how the laces go accross your foot and make sure not to tie them up high or even a little tight.

I would not buy these for long distance running!!

Great shoes!
I bought these last minute to run a 5K. They fit perfectly, even with my custom orthotics(I had to pull out the original lining). I would definitely purchase these again.
