Asics Gel Kayano (Mens)?

edinburgher

I've been using Asics Gel Kayano for several years as an on again, off again runner and the price seems to have jumped dramatically (I could swear my 2nd last pair were c. £70 on sale, £100 now seems to be fairly typical just a couple of years later)!

Can anyone recommend somewhere affordable to pick up a pair? Looking for a mens 11 and not particularly bothered if they're 1-3 models old (doesn't have to be the current release).

Although the reviews are bad.

These look better for £70 ? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B015QG8XGU

To be honest, I don't know Asics trainers but a quick search of Asics Gel Kayano bought up loads of results for under £100 but maybe i am looking at the wrong ones?

They're funny shoes - there appears to be what I'd call a 'fashion' version and the 'running' version, which is a highly supportive, pretty conventional looking trainer.

Looking for the ones more like these: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/asics-gel-kayano-22-shoes-yellow-ss16/?lang=en&curr=GBP&dest=1&sku=5360704650&kpid=5360704650&utm_source=google&utm_term&utm_campaign=UK_PLA_Shoes&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mkwid|sFETSA0kM_dc|pcrid|67090787462|pkw||pmt||prd|5360704650uk

Those appear to be Cumulus, not Kayano?

Ordered a pair 1/2 a size smaller than usual for £70 from Millets Sports, not sure if they'll fit, but hopefully (as I usually have a little bit of wiggle room in the 11s).

Will check that if they don't, thanks :beer:

Be aware there will likely be an avalanche of sales on in most sports shops (eg Runners Need, Run and Become, even Asics themselves) within a few weeks, if you're willing to wait and see you could find a decent discount on a pair of Kayanos.

More likely the launch of new models/versions.
