To be clear, clear, we are in the upscale and overall this is great shoes, but my expectations are high relative to price. I wear Asics for over 20 years, initially in Kayano and these last 2 years Kinsei 4.
The pros:
- Size according to what is expected
- Excellent fit
- Footwear very comfortable
- Ventilation and flexibilitée improved over Kinsei 4
- Cushioned back at least as good as the 4
the -:
- Before cushioning decreased. I am very sensitive with pain in the forefoot.
This may be unimportant to others who do not have my problem
A big worry is the effecté Kinsei 5 in 2014 for the fabric covering the front foot: many cases or fast ripping holes have been reported. This happened to my son with a red model purchased there are more than 6 months and damaged in 4 outputs. In my case not worry for now, this blue model exists only since autumn 2014 and it is likely Asics has corrected the problem. I will come back to report if anything was happening.
