The older I get the flatter my feet become.  The Kayanos give great support to my flat feet and allow me to get up and on the the road.  I wish they didn't keep cranking up the price of these shoes as they are not that fancy and it feels more like corporate greed than anything else. But the shoe does what it claims to do and I have not found anything that even compares to it.  If someone makes a shoe that gives this kind of support and quality and can do it for less I hope you will post a review or a link. But for now, this is my go to running shoe.
