I have been running for 33 years. I started using the Asics Kayano shoes about 15 years ago. Obviously these shoes have been perfect for me. I just bought my third pair of the Kayano 16 shoes. I run about 15 to 20 miles a week and rotate my 3 pairs of Kayano 16. These shoes fit great but be sure to buy a pair that are 1/2 size larger than your normal shoe size. I recommend the Kayano series shoes to any large person. They offer stability as well as great cushoning. I weigh around 240 pounds and would not run in any other shoes.
