Using insoles with Asics Kayanos

Trotter

Im looking at getting insoles for my Kayanos, they're size 8 and slightly big, but the 7.5 was slightly small. Can anyone recommend good insoles for running, something that will go into running shoes and fit well in them.

Someone mentioned Sorbethene... but they're seriously expensive so Ive heard!

How about ask your physio what they'd recommend for you?

But if Sorbethene's are good they'd be worth it for not getting injured IMHO

I dont have a regular physio, I went to a couple of them with my eternal knee problem and found that they were contradicting each other and telling me that each others "diagnosis" was rubbish.

Still, I presume Kayanos should be well capable of shock absorbing without the insoles, its more comfort Im after. I think I might invest in the Sorbethenes.

Sorbethene will add more cushioning, but with the added cushioning they will compress as you foot moves inwards and will result in some reduction in motion control. If you just want your shoes to fit better just put an old pair of insoles under you new ones. Sorbethene are good for when your shoes get a bit old and you want to put some life back in them.

Hmm Good idea,
So If I get my old asics insoles from my battered old Asics 2060's and put them under the newer insole of the Kayanos.. that should work.

Cheers!

sorbathene are good if you are desperate but they are very thick and heavy, if the 7.5 was too small the 8s should be ok, maybe you need to lace them a bit differently?

must be having SERIOUS problems to be needing insoles for Kayano's!

I used to suffer from the worst shin-splints imaginable for about 3 years and tried insoles all to no avail. Then i bought Asics Kayanos about a year ago and havent had a single day of pain since.

They really are a great runner wit awesome shock absorbtion IMO.....

Not nessecarily, an under-pronator will have problems with them. I had a pair, I got a good deal, but I was getting blisters, awful pains all over my legs, then I changed to Nike Skylons and haven't been injured in any avoidable way for 5 months (touch wood it keeps going)
