Misleading advertising and uncomfortable fit

Based on my observations, these shoes are not suitable for running in Sports and Outdoors. The advertising claims that they provide great support, but my experience has been quite the opposite. The shoes are stiff and uncomfortable, causing pain in my feet and knees during runs. The design is also not very attractive. I do appreciate the durability, but unfortunately that doesn't make up for the discomfort.

Pros
  • Provides excellent cushioning and support during intense workouts or long distance runs.
Cons
  • The price of the ASICS Gel Kayano Running Shoes may be a barrier for some individuals looking for an affordable workout shoe option.

Mixed feelings on running

I'm still not sure. On the one hand, they look better than the Kayano 28, but that's mostly because the toe box is sharper, making them narrower. In Kayano I have 12.5 and in these 13 (I have long, narrow feet). As for comfort, I'm still undecided; They're not uncomfortable, but they don't offer the same support as regular Kayanos, but they're lighter and have good cushioning. What I love about them is the reflective front under the laces which makes them look really cute at night. I haven'tโ€ฆ

Pros
  • road running
Cons
  • flimsy

Definitely NOT a traditional gel kajano (and that's no good)

I've been riding gel kajanos for about 10 years due to overpronation. Every time I tried to use a different shoe, I would hurt myself in the IT or glute group and go straight back to those. I'm 6ft 6in, 180lbs, less than 3 hour marathon runner so I've put in a lot of miles. I noticed they were in stock so I decided to try them out; Being lighter yet still providing support, it sounded like I ran 7 miles of easy jogging in them with no issues. My next run was 17 miles and although it was on soft

Pros
  • Shoes
Cons
  • Not sure
