Comfort and stability

I've been buying gel kayanos for my overpronation for years. I am an avid hiker and will wear my last pair until the profile is gone. It always feels like I'm walking on clouds in new sneakers, and these are no exception. It's padded in all the right places and keeps the foot secure for great support. I always wear a 7 1/2 M and was confused when the Zappos website recommended a size up to an 8. After doing more research I made sure they were true to size and fit.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Hard to say

It's back! Run Friendly

Asics finally went back to the old style of Gel-Kayano that those of us who were fans of it had known for a long time, it was a great shoe. The toe box is wider and the healing pad offers excellent support. I am currently using it for walking but may start running again as the treatment shell is very comfortable. I feel like the lack of support is back and they're back to the old version with the added comfort that Asics is known for. They have generally softened the shoe and made it lighter so

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Modern

No depreciation at all

I need to be on my feet for more than 12 hours so make sure you have comfortable shoes. ASICS always does the work for me. However, when I received and tried on this pair of shoes, I found that they were not as comfortable as I expected. Especially when I took a few steps, they weren't cushioned like my other shoes and were very stiff. Shadow shoes were extremely uncomfortable as they didn't bounce when I walked on the ground. I was very disappointed as this is my favorite shoe brand and color.

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • New competitors have appeared

My favorite is this pair

I've been wearing Kayanos for over 15 years and change them out about every 9 months. I just received my newest pair and they have a hole in them after three weeks. First time I paid full price due to circumstances. $160 and a hole three weeks later. boo Very disappointed. The sole is in great shape but it tells me that this series is clearly lacking in excessive quality and I doubt they will last as long as previous pairs. Yes, this is normal "wear and tear" for my gait and it usually happens…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Transparency

Asics has been the best in road running for 20 years

I have run these shoes occasionally for over 20 years. My foot is normal wide. They are not as wide in the toe box as the 26 but not as narrow as the 25 and 24. I tried the wide ones but they are too wide. So I stock up on an early model and see what the 27 holds up. I really wish this company had kept the toe box and not changed it. Some people like the narrow toe, so maybe the company is trying to please all of its customers by changing it. I like the stability of this shoe and of course…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • A few little things

Had to return.: Shoes

After many returns I finally got the right size. I'm a woman and I usually wear a size 10, at least on New Balance and Nike. These Asics have a very narrow toe box, so either a 10 width or a 10 1/2 B width (medium) had to be chosen. They are beautiful well made shoes and I waited to the last day to return them. I put them on and they fit great and felt great until I started standing and walking in them! I actually have a dull ache in my heel because the heel of these shoes has no noticeable…

Pros
  • Nice to wear
Cons
  • Appearance

Too big, bad support

I rarely write reviews. I'm new to ASICS. Used to introduce other brands. Need more arch support. I recently upgraded to the ASICS Gel Kayano 26 and I love it! I decided on a Kayano 27 because of the new color and thought the new model could be even better. Almost not! I had to send it back asap. First, the shoes are too big, I took size 9 (compared to the 26 model, size 9 fits perfectly). My usual shoe size is 8.5. I hate the flipped toe that makes it look like elf shoes. I didn't like the…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Nothing here

Glory! for shoes

Heaven for my feet! My podiatrist ALWAYS pushes me to buy Kayanos. Since he's a world-class marathoner (Boston etc more times than I can count and every other marathon you've ever heard and never heard of) and he has his own foot issues, I tend to listen to him. was unable to walk due to traumatic arch fall (strange new alignment straightened my knees) until I got orthotics from my chiro. It allowed me to walk with pain. A few years later I found my podiatrist and with his orthopedic insoles…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
