I didn't like the color, but this has been a very supportive, reliable, comfortable, well-fitting shoe. I've only used this model inside. I am about to buy a new pair if the model or something similar is still available. My size is 9 AA. This was a perfect fit.

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.

Very comfy - perfect for running!
I ordered 2 sizes bigger on this shoe - I have learned with Asics that you need to order bigger. I was having foot and knee pain before I ordered these and now it seems much better. When I run it feels like I am running on pillows. Very highly recommend.

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!!

Order a half-size larger -
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.

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!

Great shoes -
Asics are one of my favorite shoes, but these top all tried before. Great for weight training, treadmill and even outside running I am a short runner no marathons but 5-10 miles were fine.

Most comfortable sneakers -
Third time buying these sneakers. Wore them in a two day event where I walked a marathon one day and a half marathon the next day. Went through two pairs training for the event. By Far the most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned.

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.

LOVE these shoes!
These shoes may be on the higher end, pricewise, but worth every penny! I have flat feet and these shoes provide excellent support for walking and running. The cushioning is fantastic if you have back or knee pain, like me. I did have to go up a half size. They seem to run a little short. I ordered four pairs of Asics running shoes in different sizes to determine the best fit. I received the shoes in less than two days! I kept the two pairs that fit the best (I also like the Asics Gel Evolution 3). Zappos made the returns SO easy! I'd also like to commend Zappos for carrying women's shoe sizes above 11. Thank you, Zappos! You rock!

Happy with Asics -
Comfortable shoe and a little roomier in the toe than the Kayano 13. Highly recommend! I will gladly buy more if my size becomes available again.

Asics review -
Fit is dependable. Not very comfy...but that's not new for Asics...I gotta buy insoles. But good quality. I use them for a lot of walking, they are very durable.

Classic Asics comfort and style -
I can't seem to find a shoe that fits like Asics...great support, cushion and lightweight. I usually wear an 8.5, but went for the 9 to give my toes a little extra wiggle room, especially when running, and I'm very satisfied.

Great Shoe!
This is a great shoe. I wish I would have read the customer reviews before I made my purchase, because many of them warned that the shoe runs about a half size too small, and they were right. It wasn't so small that I had to reorder, but had I known prior to, I would have ordered a 6 instead of a 5 1/2. I like to have a little extra room for orthotics. I have ankles/ feet that pronate to the extreme, and these shoes provide great support. I love the look and feel of them. They are my second pair of Asics, and I would highly recommend the brand to anyone looking for a great running shoe. Love em!

Kayano 14 -
They're superb! Ran twice my distance in them on the first day and I thought I was going to be in pain but no nothing! No heel pain, no plantar fasciitis next day. I was truly amazed. A happy buy. Worth the money.

Most comfortable running shoes I've ever had! I usually buy Nike, but think I'm sticking with Asics from now on. I would definitely recommend these!!

This is a great shoe. Well worth the money! I will never buy another brand of running shoes. I also bought a pair for my husband and he loves them also. Happy shopping.
