Sizing Asics Gel Lyte vs Kayano vs Gel NYC

Just bought a Gel Lyte 3 in size 14, and want to cop both a Kayano model and a Gel NYC, but I see they don’t have 14 locally and are wider in the toe box , anyone that owns a mix of these and can confirm they are tts on all 3 or I can go a half size down on the Kayano and NYC and would be the same fit ?

Gel lyte 3s are smaller width wise compared to a kayano. I would size up at least by half a size.

Lyte are fitting exactly on the foot, is the Gel NYC a size smaller too ?

Not that anyone cares, but I got the Gel Lyte 3 in EU 49 and the Kayano 14 in EU 48 , fit the same

Kayano is roomier that the Gel Lyte III. Gel NYC is narrower. If the Gel Lyte III is a good fit (not roomy or snug), then you shouldn't need to size up or down for the Kayano and NYC. Especially since you're size 14, where sizing up or down is really sizing up or down in full sizes.

Yeah the local Asics rights holder has 14 men only for Gel Lyte , Kayano and Gel NYC are offered in a 13.5 - so I’m guessing Kayano will be the safer bet
