Sir Jovie,
@ Orani bataan, I suffered great pain between midfoot and heel.
I was stack for more than 1hour @ Jollibee Orani Bataan.
I used Asics GT-2140 from Mariveles before switching to Asics Kinsei @ Orani. The pain instantly compressed and gone.
Asics Kinsei helps me finished BDM1.

By the way, pls advise naman.
I just bought Asics Kayano 15 but end up the size is 1.2inch longer than I expected.
I usually follows 0.5 inch longer rule, may problema kaya if it is much longer? Oks naman width mahaba lang…

More power to you…

Taki, thanks. one of these days i’ll try to send some of my posts to RW Mag.

Patrick, i wear size 9 1/2 with my ASICS and i was alternately using ASICS and NB during the 80s, ASICS for road races and NB for training. but for now, i am all-out for ASICS. just like you, i find the Kinsei 2 very comfy in long runs with thick socks. however, i don’t encounter any rubbing with my skin. thanks for the comment.

Mark, thanks for the comment. we will see if RW Mag will accept my posts. i observed in the previous races that you are also an ASICS lover.

BR, you should write nga for runners world. : ) I havent had the chance to try this one out. Maybe its the price or the fact that is not a light trainer or racer. But Im all for asics, love the brand. I currently rotate between a DS Trainer 13 (long runs) and DS Racer VII (speed work, race day).

I got my kinsei-2 around Oct.2007. i wear a size 8 1/2. I think i ve logged in about 750km on them. I replaced the insoles with Spenco which i find a lot better in terms of cushion. I would rate this shoe at least an 8 from a scale of 1 to 10. 10 being the highest. The only problem i encountered with the shoe is if im going to use them for my long runs 15km + i have to wear thick socks or put a band aid on the bone located at the outter portion of my foot ankle. I notice the shoe has the tendency to rub againts the skin and cause a wound not a blister. but overall a very good shoe.

Hi Bald Runner,

You should definitely write for Runnersworld and do their shoe reviews. This is a very very good review of a shoe.
