Review on ๐Ÿƒ ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 Running Shoe: Ultimate Performance for Men by Richie Kotun

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Dangerously slippery when wet!

I've had about 10 pairs of Kahanas over the years. I kept coming back because it took me a while to find the right shoes for my feet and I didn't want to switch when I did. This purchase was my third pair of Kahana 8s. The previous two pairs were great. However, this pair appears to have a different sole material. Material that is criminally slippery when wet. These shoes slipped on sandpaper when a drop of water was nearby. And that's despite wearing them on concrete for months hoping the slip factor would go away. I would only give one star because of the danger, but everyone else was great. I hope this is an accident and the material used by Asics will not be used again.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Little things
