I would definitely buy another pair of these running shoes - I love they way they fit, true to size. And I love the way they look. Lots more cushioning than any other ASICS I have had. I think these are more comfortable than my Brooks that I normally wear for running.

Extremely comfortable - nice wide toe box, great cushioning & good support for over pronation. These are great sneakers.

Finally - a perfect running shoe.
My younger sister recommended Asics to me after her fellow colleagues suggested the brand to her. She loves them and highly recommends them. I took her advice and she was absolutely right. Not only do these sneakers feel very comfortable when wearing them, they also have significant support in the soles and at the forefront of the shoe. When I run, I tend to apply a lot of pressure on the front of my foot; therefore, needing a lot of support in the front of the shoe. These Asics Gel-Kayano 14 do the job! I love wearing these shoes to run, to work out, and even to take care of errands. However, I recommend trying on at least 2 pairs of the same exact size in this shoe as I have found that each pair (even if it is the same size) fits differently. I remember trying on one pair in size 7M and it was too narrow at the front. I tried the other size 7M pair and it fit much better.

Gel Kayano -
This shoe fits true to size and is perfect for cross-training, not just running.

They're not worth the high price!
I overpronate on my left foot and went to a specialty running store to ask them what shoes I should buy. They recommended these and I decided to buy them through Zappos because they didnt carry my size at the store. I run/walk in them and get really sore knees and ankles. I even put Superfeet in them because I thought it would help... but it didn't. Even the foot that doesn't overpronate hurts still. There is not very much support in these shoes despite what the description claims. BUT I was very satisfied with Zappos.com; I literally received my order the day after I placed it! Wonderful customer service... highly recommend this site!

Third Pair is the Charm -
As a first-time long distance runner, it has taken me a while to find the right pair - three tries to be exact. The Kayanos have a great balance of cushioning and support. I have a heavier body so it's been difficult to find that shoe that can provide the support my arches need over a long run while cushioning the blow of each step. In addition, I have wide-set feet so the Kayanos in a wide D is my dream come true.
My Reebok Road Plus KFS was a descent pair, but was still a touch constricting at the base of where the laces start - they have a decorative band that doesn't allow for the shoe to stretch and widen. Granted Reeboks are roomy to start with, but when you're getting into 10 miles or more - it's a detail that started to bug me. The Kayanos flatten out at the widest point just fine.
The Saucony Progrid Hurricane is a great soft shoe, and lasted a whole 3 months before it completely gave out. My foot felt hyper extended with each point of contact. Bottom line: the shoe lacked support.

Just as I expected!!!
Had Asics before and knew what I was in for. Only the best fit from the first time I placed on my feet till I was through working out. I am a large lady that overpronates and they are the best I've tried for comfort and no ankle turning. I also bought the 1130's for my daughter and she had the same experience I had for not having new blisters, which she is a tender-foot. Only GREAT is what I can say.

ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 fit -
Fit is pretty much right on. If between sizes, go for the 1/2 size larger. Zappos service is its usual outstanding.

Great shoe! I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. I am on my feet for 11.5 of the 12 hours. This is my second pair. I need a shoe that has a lot of "impact absorption" and so that is why I purchase running shoes. I did not need to break these in and wore them to work the day after receiving them. My feet felt GREAT!! Thank-you Asics and Zappos!

Incredible -
I have always been a loyal NB person (1981) and was on my way out to pay for my NB 768 which I thought felt great, when the shoe sales person asked me if I cared to look at the Asics Kayano 14. I had already tried on several pairs of shoes by different makes and was sold on the NB. Wow I was instantly surprised at the comfort level not to mention the extremely good looks. These shoes fit like a glove around every part of my foot. Of course the minute I got home I went for a two mile run and let me tell you I felt like I could go forever.

Just amazing!
I have used both the Gel-Kayano 13 and 14. The 14 are just great! They have more stability than the Gel-Kayano 13 and are roomy at the front. My toes never feel tight. I bought my first pair last April and decided to get another one a couple of weeks ago. I use orthotics and these shoes accommodate perfectly. I highly recommend them.

Great Cushioning!
These shoes are great if you're only looking for impact cushioning. I'm not a runner. I've had a prosthetic hip for 21 years so cushioning is very important to me. I love these! I needed to buy a 1/2 size larger. I have narrow feet & the narrow width is perfect. Also, the mesh fiber breathes & my feet stay cool. I highly recommend these shoes.

ASICS Gel Kayano 14 -
It was time to replace my running shoes, so I purchased the Gel-Kayanos. Last pair were ASICs GT 2120s. Gel-Kayanos are good, but deep. They come up too far on the side of my foot. I've had some problems with runner's knee and I actually think that this shoe made it worse. For the time being, I've parked the Gel-Kayanos and I'm back in my GT 2120s. The runner's knee has subsided. If I could do it all over again, I would just buy another pair of GT 2120s or whatever the new version of that shoe is. Zappos service and selection are SUPERB.

Awesome Shoe!
I am a loyal Asics Gel-Kayano fan. I've used the Gel-Kayano for about 3 years and have gone through 4 pairs. This particular shoe is extremely comfortable and worth every penny. There seems to be more cushion and a better "hold" on the foot for running. I highly recommend the shoe and ZAPPOS service is awesome.

Liked Kayano 10 better but still good -
I had the Kayano 10 - my first Asics which I loved and wore them for couple of years longer then I should have. I used to have Nikes and always got blisters on my toes; with these I had no blisters at all. Now I run more often; around 10 miles a week and got these Kayano 14s. So far they are great, have great ankle support, and love the front cushioning, I did not experience any discomfort with on my knees and I ran on concrete quite often. The gel was a big buying point for me for the knees. The cushioning in 10 was better I think and they felt so much softer but the 14s are good too. Overall great shoe. But hope Asics goes back to designing the new Kayano more like 10 which felt so puffy. I went with a slighter bigger 8.5 vs my usual 8 and it feels great.

Comfortable but Flashy -
This shoe feels very comfortable but a bit too flashy for me. Unfortunately, because of the "high profile" look, it will be going back.

I have tried many shoes. For some reason I just didn't try Asics until now. These shoes have the best support for running and are extremely comfortable. I am won over.

Best running shoes -
I love these shoes. I bought them for running, but they are so attractive I hate to wear them on the road. I have very narrow feet, and I bought the AA, which fit great and almost look as sophisticated as dress shoes. They might be a little shorter than my last pair of Gel-Kayano's, but I don't think I would have ordered the next larger size. These shoes are a splurge--they're so expensive--but for running or just for showing off, these are the shoes to buy.

Great shoe!
I've bought Gel Kayano's for several years now and these are just as great. I really like this color combination as its a bit subtle w/the chocolate. Very good shoe and I would highly recommend it. I go with this model because my feet are just a little wide (but I don't order the Wides) and I need the arch support badly.

Great running shoe...
This is a great running shoe, very comfortable with great support. My only real complaint is that I wish they had more color choices, but that's just a personal preference. Overall a really good running shoe. I would buy them again.

Asics Gel Kayano 14 -
This is a comfortable sneaker. I suffer from flat feet and posterior tibital tendonitis. This sneaker provides relief and feels very supportive. Feels true to size. My only wish is that Asics would make some of their comfortable sneakers in darker colors.

My 2nd pair of Gel-Kayanos -
My first pair was a 10 and I was ready for another pair. I went with the 14 because the reviews on the 13 didn't look to good. I have to say that the 10s felt like pillows the first times I tried them on. The 14s are comfortable but not quite pillows. I've run in them about 5 times now and I hope they'll loosen up a bit more. I'm pleased although they cost more than I thought they would. And they're cute which is always a bonus.

Happy -
I have been an avid Adidas fan for some time now and was hesitant at first to switch to the Asics, but am glad I did. I have recently tried to get into running, but have had a horrible time with shin splints. A friend encouraged me to get the Kayano's and although they haven't completely alleviated my shin splints, they have helped and they are extremely comfortable. I always wear a size 5, but ordered a 1/2 size larger after reading other's comments, and they fit well.
