For a person who has very narrow feet, the narrow sizing of the shoe made all the difference. Its a great, light, yet cushioned shoe that follows the natural shape of your foot and provides support. I would highly recommend this shoe to all runners.

This is my fourth pair of Asics (in different styles) and they are great shoes. Each pair has given me excellent service in the gym for at least 1 1/2 years; after that, they become my gardening and dog-walking shoes. I have a bunion on each foot, and the give of the toe box on these shoes makes them very comfortable. Attractive, too. My bunions aren't noticeable at all. These shoes have very good arch support. The asymmetrical lace threw me off at first, but I haven't even thought about that after the first day or so of wearing them. Don't forget to order up a half size if you're wearing them for workouts.

Excellent support and comfort, even when I'm on my feet all day. I'm a registered nurse and many of my co-workers and I all wear Asics. This particular shoe fits my long, narrow foot very well.

This is a great running shoe for those who need a supportive stability shoe. I have run 2 marathons in this model despite multiple issues that I have had with my feet. However, this shoe may be too supportive for those with normal or high arches.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance 1225 or Adidas salvation

I would highly recommend Asics Gel Kayano. I have been running in them for the last five years. I actually recently purchased my second pair of Kayano 15's and I love them; hands down my favorite running shoe.

After trying dozens of running shoes I found the Asics Gel. This is my third pair and I would not run or work out in any other shoe.

Asics once again tops themselves with their Gel-Kayano 15 shoes! They are excellent, and I would recommend them to anyone.

These shoes are great running shoes. They feel awesome on my feet and have never gave me blisters like my Nike shoes have. Asics Gel-Kayano are the only running shoes I wear, and I run six days a week. As always, Zappos got them here in the blink of an eye.

Love these running shoes! This is my second pair of Asics; and I honestly don't think I'll ever try another brand. Don't fix what ain't broken.

The new version of the shoe is just as great as the past versions. Which means you need to order a half to a full size larger. Something new is the way the laces are laid out a bit at an angle but didn\'t make a difference to me.

I have been wearing Asics Gel-Kayanos for many years (including a few years as a varsity athlete in college) and they're great. I don't even try anything else anymore. They're expensive but durable. I have an over-pronator and these shoes support my foot well for running, indoor field hockey, volleyball, etc. This newest version doesn't lace up the middle like a traditional shoe. It doesn't bother me, but judging by the other reviews some people don't like it.

These shoes are a great fit. The new off-center lace-up threw me off at first, but like all my Asics shoes, they are wonderfully comfortable and perform exactly as expected.

I love these shoes! I had a pair before of the same model, that I had fitted in a store. They are very durable, and are great for the kind of activity I do, which is cross training in a gym with a little running.

Great shoe. No need to break in these shoe; just put on and go. Great fit. I tried these after having a defective pair of Nike Max 09. I will definitely buy another pair.

Asics Gel Kayanos are the best shoes on the market. This is my 5th pair and they are no exception. Great quality, great styling and I have no complaints at all. The best features of this shoe are the stability for the ankle, Achilles tendon and the molding of the inner sole. I feel completely stable in these for running and cross-training.

I have been wearing Asics Gel Kayano running shoes since the 11th edition. The 15 edition is a little different with the way it laces at the toe, but they seemed actually to fit me better than the other models. The inside design is fun! I love them and will keep ordering them from Zappos because I can't just go into a store and get a 10.5 wide off the shelf! I can't say enough good things about Zappos and delivery is so quick and easy to return if a shoe doesn't fit. Thank you!

I bought the Kayano 13 on clearance at a Sporting Goods store about a year and a half ago and it was time for new shoes! I ordered several with motion control and for my foot you just can't beat the footbed of this shoe. Yes, it is expensive, but my knees and shins are thanking me already after only 1 week in the new shoes. I'm an Asics convert now, for sure. Also, this shoe looks nicer on the foot than the 13; it has a slimmer appearance and is sporty without looking like something you walk on the moon in.

I bought these for fitness walking and some occasional running. They are without doubt the most perfect running shoes that I have ever had on my feet. The fit is true, the cushioning and support a perfect balance. I have a wide, high arched foot, measured as a 9 & 1/2 wide. The 10 D is an exact fit.

I adore these sneakers. By far they have the best padding and support inside than any other sneaker I have ever worn. I am able to use my orthotics due to an old stress fracture and can go for miles daily without any flareups. The sneaker is light in weight, keep your feet cool, is nice and wide in the toe box and long in the length. Almost the perfect sneaker. My only complaint is that because of the way that I run/walk, my toe (big one) will eventually poke through the netting. I resolved this issue by placing a small piece of heavy duct tape on the underside of where my toe would strike. I'm sure it's my gait and probably not the sneaker.

I am not much of a runner so I usually buy cross-trainers, but I have never been very comfortable in them because I over-pronate badly. These are so bouncy comfortable! I am thrilled with the purchase even though they will mainly be used for walking and short jogging, not distance running. They are super-comfortable and supportive, which did not seem possible.

Love the shoes, the best price I could find. My only wish is that the arch support was better. It is made for a normal arch, I have high arches. I would recommend the shoe to any runner, and Zappos is great as well, can't go wrong. Previously ran in the the Asics Gel Cumulus and after just a couple runs I think I'm going to like these just as much. Really light, super comfortable, it's hard to take them off after my run.

First time with Asics brand. Love them so far! Just started running and working out hard last year, professionally fit for me the Mizuno Nirvana 4. Wore them for year 1 and loved them. A little boxy in front foot, i.e. too much room. The Asics feel better so far, a little more hug to your foot. I personally like that feel. Inspired with new purchase that I had to run outside, first time in 6 months due to bad knee. Felt great!

I bought a similar Asics pair at a local store, but the regular width was too narrow, although I do not normally wear a wide. I bought these on Zappos, the fit is perfect, and I've run a successful half-marathon.
