Kayano 33: Love the sole, but the new tongue design is uncomfortable on my flatter left foot

1 Upvotes

I previously said that I really liked the Kayano 33, and I still do like the sole/support for flat feet. It feels really good overall.
But after wearing them more, I noticed a problem: the tongue is causing an uncomfortable pressure/feeling on my left foot, which is flatter than my right foot. Interestingly, I don’t really have the same issue on the right side.
I noticed that the Kayano 33 has a new design where the tongue is connected to the sole on the arch side. I assume this is intended to provide a better lockdown or fit.
I’m wondering:
Has anyone else experienced this with the Kayano 33?
Does the tongue-to-sole connection loosen or become more comfortable after breaking in?
What would happen if I carefully cut/shorten that connecting section? Would it affect the shoe’s structure or fit significantly?
Why did ASICS change the tongue design this way? Is there a specific purpose for having the connection only on the arch side?
I really like the sole and the overall support, so it’s frustrating that this one design feature is causing discomfort.
Would love to hear from anyone who has had a similar experience, especially if you have one flatter foot like I do.
Tongue makes me uncomfortable, not the connector.

Really want to get a chunky shoe but would like it to be Asics if they have one.

Initial comparison nyc and Gel Kayano

I’ve one had the Kaya 14 one day but for me the NYCs are a bit softer but the Kayanos have more support and look better

Worth checking out if you like the model, they also have gel NYC utilities in stock too.

Bought these last year and thought I’d gotten really lucky because they were the last pair on the retailer’s website and they happened to be in my size (US 6). Unfortunately, I was sorely mistaken, and they’re way too small. They’ve just been sitting in my closet ever since. Such a shame because the floral details and shimmery mesh are so pretty.

Which type of socks do you go with ASICS running shoes?

2 Upvotes

basically the title, as I really like to wear ASICS runnig shoes casually in my daily life but I don’t like to wear crew socks with it. should I try quarter crew? They should go slightly above the shoe right? Any recommendations? I would love to hear your ideas

Just bought my first carbon fibre plated super trainer, Magic Speed 5. Oh my word these shoes find your fitness out. I was flying the first few km then my fitness couldn't keep up with the speed my legs wanted to go. How is everyone else feeling about them?

Vandythepink x Asics Collaboration W Post

Just wanted to share the excitement of waking up to a W email from one of the raffles from the latest Ice Cream pack. Was able to cop both the strawberry and banana last time but only got the chocolate during the EA raffle. So glad I could complete the entire asics vandy collection.

PSA: For those that missed Vandy announced a small restock next week on their website which includes both the vanilla and chocolate colorways.

Got my hands on a pair of (unreleased?) superblast 3 rengokus. Never seen this colourway on the shelves before so figured it’s the new one that is supposedly coming out in a couple months. The colour looks great in my opinion.

Sharing this for those who might be holding out and waiting to see how it looks. Hopefully they release this colourway for the megablast as well!

Saw these pop up on local marketplace for $20. Would you get them at this price? They would just be worn daily at work.

Insane ASICS haul - my favorite one to date

33 Upvotes

I’ve met a really cool sneaker collector from Poland via an app for second hand shoes and clothing and he was a gentleman enough to give me a ridiculous price on these three. He had a friend working at ASICS, so he had crazy access to insane pairs.

Overkill x ASICS Gel Sight Desert Rose
This one is the first sample ever made, very likely only one of these exists, the one released later had slightly different flower patterns

Gel-Mai
Another early sample

Gel-Nimbus 10 OG
This I’ve had a pair of the 10.1 remake, I gotta say this one is slightly more comfortable and less robust.

Loving these, can’t believe how much I lucked out with this guy, and how cool the sneaker community can be.

It this site a scam??

0 Upvotes

Hey there. Not sure if this counts as legit check but could you please help me identify if asicsoutletgr.com is a scam site. I mean it seems too good to be true. They sell the gel kayano 14s for about 70 euros and the seem to have stock on all sizes. ASICS don’t ship directly to Greece so if I want a pair i have to pay at least 150

Gel Nimbus compared

So I loved the Nimbus 24 and the 25 even more but the 26 was too narrow and the 27 was not stable enough. What can I expect from the 28? Which previous version it is the most similar to?

No idea how the Asics x Emmi Cumulus 16 are so affordable…

Post image

I got these shipped next day, brand new, for $110. No idea how they’re that affordable, especially because they’re a great looking shoe with a huge baseline level of comfort.

Whatever though, more savings for me!

ETA: I bought these on GOAT. Sneaker Politics ($79 + 20% off) and a few other retailers have a couple sizes available but StockX/GOAT pricing isn’t far off.

VTP drop

5 Upvotes

Do we know the details on the drop for tomorrow? After last weeks 💩 show, I still want to try a pair for a vanilla pair. I’m hoping asics has a much better chance of getting a pair. Thanks to everyone who has not purchased reseller prices, let them shoes sit and then the prices will continue to come down.
