I currently have a pair of Kayano 12s and need to get a new pair (or two pairs for that matter). I’ve heard bad things about the 13s and the 12s in my size seem to be sold out everywhere (except for one place). Can anyone comment on whether the 11s fit the same as the 12s? I am a new convert to the Kayanos (from years in NB) so have nothing to work off of. Iw ould go to my local store to try them on but they don;t have my size and really can’t rpice match what I’ve seen online. If there is a difference, I won’t go there since I want to try them on, but if they fit the same, I don’t see why i wouldn’t go for the best price. Any help is much appreciated.
Take a look at Newton shoes. Tim
They fit totally different. I love my 12’s (bought 4 extra pairs so I don’t run out anytime soon) because the 13’s didn’t fit the same. I won’t say one is right or wrong for anyone else, but the 13 isn’t right for me, and I love the 12.
Check eBay, there seem to be a ton on there sometimes.
I totally agree!!!

except they still use the SpEVA in the 11 and the Solyte in the 12 and 13

that’s good to know since i have wide, sloppy feet. so the 12s are the perfect kayano for me. ended up finding some for a great price online. exactly what i have so i’ve bought a few pairs.
Where did you find them? I may need some more soon
The one place I found with my size for the 12s was Sierra Trading Post http://www.sierratradingpost.com/ for $87.50 plus free shipping. The other was Kelly’s Running Warehouse http://www.kellysrunningwarehouse.com/...filiate/krw/Home.jsp which had the 11s for $90. I looked at a lot of places online and Sierra was by far the best price and the only one that had multiple sizes for the 12s to choose from. I’m a fairly common size (10.5 D) and they were one of only a few places that had it.
Mike,
I have run in the Kayanos for many, many years and have loved (!) them…that is until the 12s. IMHO they are completely different shoes. I can give you many opinions, but I don’t think that is what you are asking for. I wear a 12 1/2 in the 11s and a 12 in the 12s. The 12s are a bit wider (sloppier?) in the toes.
I still get the old ones from RRS. I get what ever are the cheapest since the 9s, 10s and 11s seem to fit exactly the same.
Let me know if I can give you any further insight.
Thanks David. That’s good to know. I have a wide/sloppy foot so the 12s fit well. Problem is that they have been discontinued with the arrivals of the 13s (which have had terrible reviews from loyal Kayano wearers) and they were hard to find (i ended up fidning some). I wanted to know how the 11s fit, if it was the same as the 12s. Apparently not so I bought a few pairs of 12s that I found online. Thanks again for the input though, much appreciated.
