The Nimbus 16 asics fuzex rush (2E) is my current shoe and was chosen based upon the Asics website "Shoe Finder". While I admit it fits great, but for the fact that the inside rear lining has torn (second pair in a row) right at the heel, I'm wondering when all is said and done, whether it be the Kayano 21, the Nimbus 16 or another shoe brand what one running shoe (or couple shoes) would Solereview feel is the best option for an Underpronator who needs a cushiony and somewhat wide shoe?I came to running in midlife having never run before. I started with the Asics 2160, which I loved. I had two pairs of those before I couldn't find them anymore.

Technology sure has advanced since my last Asics. Would you say that cushioning is the most important intervention in preventing shock/jarring (especially to body as a whole, not just lower body)? Any thoughts you might have are greatly appreciated.Hi& I discovered your site today and I think it's great. Here's my issue& .I'm a 60 year old, pretty fit woman who goes to a mixed asics gel lyte v mens gym group. We do circuit training, indoor hockey or basketball, and run quite a bit, too. I don't really understand about all this pronation business. I feel I need a shoe with good cushioning as I get a certain amount of pain in my legs and joints as the gym floor is very hard.

I did  feel' the arch when walking asics gel lyte womens around the store which did worry me, but again, not as prominent as it was in the Asics. Ran for 10 mins and didn't feel the arch when running (probably as I have forefoot strike), but instantly felt it subtly there again when I got off the treadmill. I also felt the shoe wasn't quite wide enough, even at 2E. I ran a few more times in both shoes and I just felt the Adrenaline as going to be too snug/tight down the sides of the little toe as my feet warmed up.Something in me wanted to like the Brooks more in the same way I really wanted to like the Asics, don't know why.

Bought a kayano 21 subsequently and though it asics gel nimbus 20 mens was really cushioned it did not give me the stability I needed. My feet are quite wide and flat so was wondering if you have any recommendation for a shoe that can give me a really good dose of stability but also some speed as well? Many thanks in advance!HI, I have the same problem as Shaun. I have a bad left knee. I have a pair of Asics GT 1000 2 PR. I am a cancer survivor so now I"m going back to running and my left knee feels a little tight when I'm done. I ice it and it's all good. But I need a new running shoe bigger with better foot support.

I'm 6'4 and 249 pounds, used to have flat feet, after yoga and losing almost 80 pounds, I have an arch. Will the ASCIS Kayano 21 do the job or should I try your recommendations to Shaun?Hi, your post was very informative, thanks. I am a 43 yo woman, getting back into running after a couple year lapse. The last time I was running I was wearing the Asics Gel Kayano 17, do you recommend I continue with the Gel Kayano 20 or 21 or are they very different than the 17 was? The 17 was extremely comfortable. If you don't recommend the Gel Kayano's can you recommend a sneaker that is similar to the kayano 17? Thanks!

If you are used to the Asics fit (especially when using the aftermarket orthoses) makes sense to stick to that brand. If you find the 21 too soft, you could either look for the Kayano 20 (should be asics gel nimbus 20 review available on massive markdown) or the GT 2000 3. Do you need to upsize on width from a 16? We don't know, but we suggest you try out the standard Kayano 21 and then take a call.Hey there! Amazing site- I find your reviews absolutely amazing- keep up the good work =ØBÞ I find myself somewhat torn, however and could use some advice. I'm a relative amateur- I only started running at the beginning of 2015, but I am planning on completing my first half marathon in the next couple of months and my first marathon in early-mid 2016.
