Good review. Always appreciate a review from people that have actually put in some miles first. I was surprised by your comment about the narrow toe box. I have relatively wide feet and I find there’s plenty of room for my toes. So far, the only issue I’ve had with my Kayano 30’s is a hot spot on the sole of my left foot. It started after about 6km

Agree with everything you said about this shoe. I need the stability as well and this shoe does a great job. I've also owned it 9 or 10 days and I've logged about 15km (vs your 100 miles!) in it so far. Each run just gets better.

Nice review. 100 miles is often needed to really form a solid opinion about a shoe.

Great review! The last pair of Kayanos I had were 27s I believe. Kayano has always been just ok for me, never really exciting to run in. On a whim, I decided to buy the kayano 30s and I’ve gotta say I really enjoy them for the longer runs. My legs don’t feel smoked and I’ve started to wear them for every run now and neglect the rest of my shoe rotation lol.

Great review. I love the shoe out of the box. I have a C width foot and have found the Kayano 30 to be spacious in the toe box. Also, my weird feet found these to be firm yet bouncy 😂.

The pair i had was the 26...was disappointed with them so switched to saucony...looking at reviews of the 30 im tempted to give them a go....

Great reviews, Seth. Interested in the practical contrasts you find between the K30 and the Nimb25 you just tested. Seems like a natural point of interest, since both morphed in a somewhat similar direction. Obviously, K30 intended to be more stable, but curious about your real world impressions.

I like the shoe, but honestly after like 4-5 hours on it at work, I really start to feel that stability in the heel. Maybe it’s better for a run

good job

Hello. Thank you for your reviews and comprehensive help. Can I know your foot length and the shoe size you use in Kayano 30 so that I can have a reference?

Hi Seth, for a next long run (18+), which would you use Kayano 30 or Nimbus 25? Thanks
