AHAR
ASICS High Abrasion Resistance Rubber (AHAR) is a tough compound used at the heavy contact area of the outsole, for example the heel. It helps to reduce excessive wear.

Technologies
Asymmetric Lacing System
The Asymmetric Lacing System follows the curve on top of the foot in a natural way, to ensure a perfect fit and less friction.
Guidance Line
Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

robert mcclements :
Hi all am new to running and been training for 3 months with Nikes building up to a half marathon. Running approximately 30 miles a week easier and easier
I am relay cheesed off because thinking that a new pair of GEL-KAYANO 16 would help me improve because it says it all over the internet.
For the first time I had to stop after about I mile because my calf’s and shins were killing me I sat at the side of the road and stretched my legs out for 10m
I tried to run back but my calf’s felt like lead so I had to work back.
Can I someone with more experience then me please advise.
Regards, Rob

Great shoe...fantastic cushioning from the gel.
Feel like slippers compared to other stability shoes in the range.
Actually a big fan of the asymmetric lacing, though not sure how well the toe-box will last as already looking a bit twisted.
They look mean in black & gold.
Broken them in and trying them out in half-marathon at the weekend.
Fingers and toes crossed!

Comfortable shoe, larger toe box than the Kayano 15's.
On my first long run i got blisters on the inside of my heel, both feet, having never had running related blisters before. I think the insole has quite a big gap where it joins the shoe, this is the place i got the blisters.
I will only run for 50 mins in these now, and stick to my old Kayano 15's for races and longer distances.
Quite disappointed as i now have to find something else to replace my Kayano 15's with.

I play basketball, and cross train regularly. After 9 yrs of Nike, 3 yrs of Mizuno then 2 years of Brooks runnIng shoes, I've found a shoe that leaves me feeling no soreness after a 10 mile pavemnet pounder. First shoe ever to do that, Smooth ride, excellent cushioning, particualr under the forefoot. Nuff said.
