That expensive anymore... just dropped $150 with tax on a pair of Asics Kayano 15s!!! $139.99 retail price.
First impressions...
Out of the box color does not seem that bad as in the pictures. Fit was a little bit better with snug heel and roomy toe box (compared to 14s) but you can tighten the toe box with the interesting lacing design. I didn't like it at first but after wearing it properly they lock the shoe better and even if you prefer a larger fit they prevent slipping. One thing I noticed rightaway is the increased suppert at the heel area (look at the picture and the gel size, it is noticably placed outside compared to old one) And I hope they will not blster after a first run.
She has a litlebit more flex i the mid foot area. Cushion seems right about the same as old ones. I will write some more after running couple of miles.
