This shoe has design or quality problems
I have worn the Gel-Kayanos since VI, bought 2-3 pair each year. Other than a few problems with the stitching in the VII version there WERE no better shoes on the planet. The Gel-Kayano 14 is a bust. I developed two large blisters after one 6 mile run. I returned them thinking that it was a faulty pair. The second pair was worse. Same blisters, and the side stability portion hit my ankle and after 2 miles I could hardly run another. I know these shoes and something major has changed. The store managers have indicated that Asics made the heel portion more narrow. I have not heard this elsewhere and if that is so then I am out of luck and $135.00. Such a shame.
