👟 ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 Men's Running Shoe Review

This is such a strange thing. The left boot fit perfectly, totally comfortable and just what I was hoping for, but the right boot was resting on the middle of my right foot for some reason. I thought maybe it was the right shoe so I ordered another pair and it was exactly the same. Maybe because these shoes are narrow and my left foot is already right (although I didn't measure any difference). I've been wearing Asics for many years. Always size 12, although I have size 11 in every other shoe…

I've been a Nike user for a long time, but unfortunately their unattractive designs, overpriced, poor color choices, poor quality, and un-American political stance (Betsy Ross Fail) made me look for other options. I used to use Asics but this design exceeded all my expectations. Shoes run true to size, but I personally take 1/2 a size larger for running shoes (toe room).

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

After getting used to running in a stable shoe like the Brooks Adrenaline, I was a little wary of switching to something less stable and with almost no slippage. However, most running shoes offer this. I've improved my goal a lot and according to the shop that did the analysis of the goal, I no longer need stable shoes. Still, I wanted to get something a little more similar to what I'm used to. I did a little research and the Asics Gel-Kahana 8 is a slight step up from the standard zero drop…
