I'd done 470 miles in them! Just also bought a pair of 1170's in the sale to try purely as a backup.

MoscowFlyer Nov 2012 7:22pm, 12 Nov 2012 2,588 posts	Quote Pin MoscowFlyer I've decided to move away from the 21 series and instead of going from 2160 to 2170 I tried the Kayano 18s instead, which although more expensive are a much more comfortable shoe for me. I actually think Asics had some great shoes in the 2120 and the 2130 and 2140 were also very good, but since the 2120 they've gone backwards.
