Product Information:
- Running shoe built for the moderate to excessive over-pronator who requires a combination of cushioning and reinforced stability.
- The Gel-Kayano® 14 is back and better than ever! This latest edition features a new rearfoot construction, for a dynamic fit and feel, while continuing to bring home the exceptional ride that has brought fame to this model.
- Biomorphic Fit™ Upper provides superior fit and comfort while decreasing the potential for irritation.
- 3M® reflective material enhances visibility during low light hours.
- P.H.F.® (Personal Heel Fit) comprises a memory foam lined heel collar that molds to the athlete's heel, creating a personalized fit.
- ComforDry™ insole provides the optimum cushioning performance system that creates a cooler, drier and healthier shoe environment.
- DuoMax® midsole technology takes the form of a multi-density midsole material designed to help correct the degree and velocity of pronation.
- Impact Guidance System (I.G.S.®) better allows the shoe and foot to transition together through the contact, midstance and propulsion components. This linked componentry enhances the foot's natural gait from heel strike to toe-off.
- ASICS® Forefoot and Rearfoot GEL® Cushioning System is strategically placed at high impact areas in the forefoot and rearfoot for shock absorption.
- Solyte® offers a proprietary cushioning material that provides an exceptionally lightweight midsole with excellent bounce-back and durability.

- AHAR® Heel Plug (ASICS® High Abrasion Resistant rubber) has been added to critical areas of the outsole for increased durability.

Love this shoe! I buy a pair every year and they are my most comfortable and supportive shoes. I have very bony, hard to fit, narrow feet with fallen arches. This shoe provides the cushion and the support that I need for my routine workout.\r\nI normally wear a women\'s size 8 but in this shoe I buy a 9 AA and it fits great.

These shoes are immensely comfortable and great not just for running, but also for walking. I have high arches and wide feet and although I usually wear an 8 1/2 W, I had to have 9 W in these shoes. The shoes hug your feet on the heels but the shoe box is just wide enough but not too wide. These shoes do not need breaking in at all. I walk 2.5 miles minimum a day in them and did as soon as I got them. I just wish they came in black.

I love these shoes. I ordered them after recovering from yet another tibial stress fracture. My physical therapist recommended this style because of my severe over-pronation. My orthotics fit beautifully and I am back on two feet and starting to jog again. Love these shoes!

So sad am I.
Love the chocolate color combo. It really looks almost khaki. This was so close for me. Really good fit for a narrow foot; good heel support; extremely lightweight and comfy. It does run a half size small. I am glad I ordered the 8.5 and the 9, because the 9 fit. Unfortunately, against the Nimbus it just didn't stand a chance. Give this one a try!!

I did not listen to the reviews and ordered by usual size. Definitely a mistake, for some reason this Kayano does run small. Good thing Zappos has easy returns!

Best walking shoe -
I thought I was crazy to spend this much money for a pair of shoes but I was training for the breast cancer walk which meant I walked 60 miles in 3 days. These shoes held up for the walk, but when they tell you you can only wear shoes for so many miles its so true! So I highly recommend these shoes and I am so glad I found this sight.

I really wanted to love this shoe!!! I'm an ASICS devotee but this one just didn't do it for me. I have a narrow foot and am a smaller girl and for some reason this shoe seems really high on my ankles. Am ordering 2 other pairs of ASICS as they are the best running shoe in the world!!!

Order up at least 1/2 size -
I have the Kayano 12 version in a 9.5 (medium) which have worked well for me. So I ordered the Kayano 14 in a 9.5 as well, but this time I ordered a narrow (I have very skinny feet). The Kayano 14's were way too short- I'm sending them back and will move up to a 10 (or possibly a 10.5). I have a narrow foot and the narrow width was fine until I replaced the insoles with my orthotics which took up too much room - so I will be going back to a medium width.

Gel Kayano 14 -
The Asics Gel Kayanos are a great sneaker. This is my 7th pair. However, this pair seems to run a little smaller. I probably should have ordered the next 1/2 size up. I have found them to wear well. I run and have flat feet and I wear orthotics. (I remove the insole to accommodate the orthodic.) Great shoe.

Excellent all around -
My women’s 13N feet are a perfect fit for Asics Gel-Kayano 14. Heel is narrow enough. Toe is just roomy enough. Instep is perfect. No arch - use my own favorite inserts. Cushioning is very, very good. Materials found to be as expected, fine for the nature of the light weight construction. Very nice looking (lots of reflective silver if you jog after dark). I do not put miles on my feet, but this seems like a shoe that would take some active use well.

My favorite workout shoe -
The Kayano is reliably comfortable and the fit is great. True to size. I buy a new pair in the same size every 3-4 years and I am always happy with them. The style and decoration of the shoe has gotten progressively more elaborate. But I do like the purple/gray/silver style, which is the one I got this time around.

Comfy- right out of the box -
This is my third pair of ASIC's. I really like them. They are comfortable and decent looking. I have really long feet and I like that the patterns don't accentuate that fact. I do think they run a little smaller when compared to other shoes in the same size. Definitely a good choice!

Felt good at first. Worked out on the treadmill and ended up with a blister on my heel. The heel/ankle area runs wide. Only wore once. I was very disappointed.

Great running shoe. Not comfortable with my prescription orthotics, but arch support is pretty good, so it hasn't been an issue. Wide width has roomy toe box. Mesh is well-aerated and seems like it would be really comfortable on hotter days.

ASICS GEL -
I have never found a pair of shoes that I like more. The best thing about these shoes is that they are super comfortable. I have a problem with shoes giving me blisters around the heel area, even when fitted properly. I have not had problems with these at all. I would recommend these to anyone.

Good looking shoe -
I have always loved Asics but have trouble finding a tennis shoe wide enough for me. When I saw these offered in wide I immediately ordered them. They are great looking shoes with good support but I am still trying to break them in the width area. I am wearing really thin socks and they are still really tight in the toe area. I decided to keep them in hopes I can get them stretched out as they feel good and the support is good as I am on my feet on cement all day.
