I had GT 2160s but they do not make them anymore. I ponied up the money and bought these shoes. The guy told me these were better than the 2160s. They feel fantastic on your feet when you are just walking around. I was so excited to take them out for the first run. They felt great while running and my feet did not hurt. However, after I got done running and finished stretching I felt a sharp pain in my knee, one that I have never had with my 2160s after running the same distance. I held them up to my 2160s. The Kayano 19 had quite a bit less cushion in the heel and forefoot. I believe this caused the knee pain. I put my 2160s on the next day, ran the same distance and no knee pain. For the money, I am not impressed. I will be taking these back to the store I bought them and getting my money back. The Kayano 18 even has a more cushioned heel than the 19.

Zappos is great and very customer friendly. I have never had a problem to return or exchange items. They provide a very quick delivery of my initial order. This is the first time that I have ever taken the time to recommend a resource.

Excellent support and very comfortable. The Gel-Kayano 19 has a somewhat more rounded toe than older models. I'm going to need to move up 1/2 size for a good fit.

I am so glad I purchased these shoes, after reading all the reviews. I am a medium to heavy over pronator with flat feet. I have used NB, Brooks but these are the most comfortable and well fitting running shoes I have used. No hot spots or sore ankles, they make me want to just keep running. I just ran a 5K and have put an additional 35 miles on them and they feel great. I will definitely purchase another pair.

Just got these after realizing that I needed a shoe with more cushioning for running. Asics makes great shoes and I've tried on a few different models. It's interesting how close some feel, but with this shoe, while pricey, it seems to fit me best. Of course I had to pick the most expensive of the lot, but they do feel just that much better in terms of fit and comfort for running that I was seeking. Good stuff, albeit on the pricey side. But the good news is that Asics also make many more affordable options that are similar in feel and intended use to if you can't afford these, you WILL be able to find another that works very well for less cost. Asics makes very comfortable fitting shoes.
