Denis is right. ASICS stocks only left foot take-off shoes in
the U.S. and they only go up to size 13. There is no chance they
will make a shoe special order unless you're a national class athlete
and the wait and expense are as Denis quoted them.
If you happen to be a right foot take-off jumper then ASICS only
makes those shoes up to size 12 and they will run you about $200 and
the wait could also be a couple of months.
I'm working with them on making larger sizes and stocking right
foot take-off shoes in the U.S. but it's slow-sledding to say the
least.

Hi KyleySize 14 would have to be special makeup if you can persuade ASICS USA to order them for you from Japan. Expect a 200-300 dollar price tag and a wait of several monthsregardsDenis Doyle----- Original Message -----From: k johnsonSent: Wednesday, November 29, 2006 4:10 PMSubject: [HJ] (unknown)Hey all I had a question regarding high jump shoes. I competed in the Mizuno's last season and really liked them because they were the lightest of all the high jump shoes but I went through four pair in one season because the heal in the shoe on my plant foot kept breaking. The jump plate keeps detaching from the rest of the shoe, which I have never had happen before. I have jumped in the Adidas which are ok and the Nike which I don't like.Does anyone know if they make the asics in 14 ? or has anyone jumped in the Reebok or New Balances I'm curious as to how those shoes are and whether they are light or heavy?thanksKyley
