the major diffeernce between a new pair of running shoes, narrowing down the brand was the easy bit. I have run in Brooks and New Balance before but hand down the best fitting make of shoes that I have ever worn has been the Asics Gel Cumulus line that I have been wearing for the past three years. The fact that I wanted large amounts of cushioning in my shoe to try and keep the shin splints at bay effectively narrowed it down to two pairs of shoes; The Asics Gel Nimbus 12s (Guide Price 105) and the Asics Gel Cumulus 12s (Guide Price 85).
The price of a new pair of Asics Kayano's is between $35 and $340. Most Kayano models are however between $90 and $160. One of the most expensive Kayano's are the Asics Gel Kayano 18 Women's Running Shoes - Electric Purple, which are sold for $340 at Amazon.
There are several websites where the Asics Gel Kayano can be bought, but nothing with 12. However, the closest shoe to the 12 is the Asics Gel Nimbus 14. It is on Nordstrom.com and sells for $139.95; with breathable open meshes and flexible arch support.
The Asic's Kayano 18 has more support and is made for longer distance running than the Asic's Cumulus 11. If you are a beginning runner I would recommend the Cumulus 11.
