Review on πŸ‘Ÿ ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 Men's Running Shoe by Russell Wong

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Warning: These shoes are DANGEROUS!

I wish I had read the reviews and believed that these shoes lose traction when they get a little wet. I love Asics and almost everything I wear is running shoes, but these shoes almost killed me on a hike. Now I have a really good pair of shoes that I'm literally afraid of. From slipping on a wet sidewalk (what the heck?) to walking down Illinois' "Little Grand Canyon" and watching people in flip-flops and sandals climb a waterfall with ease while I'm on the side stood petrified by what I don't have time for. in those awful boots. I started my ascent and started sliding back. If I hadn't caught myself, something bad would have happened. I leave sneakers and hiking shoes to people who obviously know how to make them. I believe another review said these shoes are "criminal smooth" and they really are. someone gets hurt Shame on you Asics from a longtime fan. I don't know how to sell these shoes no matter what the sole is made of. It's fine on mud, but if there are wet rocks or something as dangerous as wet pavement on this trail, you could end up slipping. Such a shame to pay for such rubbish. They look good, fit well, and are everything I could possibly want other than criminally slick soles where the rubber meets the road. I'm just glad I didn't end up at the bottom of the canyon and hurt myself badly because of those boots.
