Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kahana® 4

This is my third pair of ASICS and it's another winner for me. I run about 20 miles a week, 80/20 dirt/paved paths and these shoes work very well for me. I actually got these after getting a pair of Nikes to try, and that didn't turn out good at all. Thumbs up to Zappos who let me return those, then sent them overnight to me these ASICS. I'm now officially a Zappos and ASICS fan for life!

If you have wide, flat feet (my size is 10-4E) then the only brands you should consider are Asics, New Balance, and Clarks. I've had plenty of all three and they are all well made.

I have been jogging for 25 years and, being over 60, look for a shoe that supports my foot and cushions my joints. For the last several years, Asics has been my preference.

They took a few times on to form to my feet but overall a very good shoe. Hopefully they'll be durable as well.

This was my first time ordering shoes online. I am glad I found Zappos. It makes my order convenient. The shoes arrived on time. I like this Asics Gel very much! The gel cushion & 4D have solved my flat feet situation as I do not need to replace the Asics gel cushion for my special flat feet cushion. I really can feel it absorbs the impact when I dance, hike, walk, and work out. It also feels very light and great support. I would recommend these shoes for friends.

Ordered a new pair of trail shoes because my last ones were getting slick. Stuck with the Gel-Kahana model because of the 4E width which is difficult to find in a trail shoe. The Gel-Kahana 4 appears to be a mite longer than the Gel-Kahana 3 but runs well with a thicker sock. Overall I am satisfied with my purchase.

Good overall tenny runner for the price. However, the size was smaller and it took a few times wearing to fit decently.

These are really great shoes overall, but I'm finding that the sizing is slightly off with each new version of the Gel-Kahana. These seem just a tad longer than the Kahana 3, which were just a tad longer than the Kahana 2. Maybe my feet are just shrinking, but I think the sizing might be off a bit - understandable between different brands, but kind of frustrating within the same shoe line.

It took about two days to get used to these shoes, and I love them. Light and plenty of support.

Great first time experience. They had what I was looking for at a very good price and shipping. Seemless transaction, I would shop at Zappos again!

I am a Personal Trainer who wears my Asics for work primarily which involves individual and group training. These sneakers are perfect for cross training indooors or out. I primarily wear them indoors for work and they are extremely comfortable and sturdy for training.

Very comfortable shoe. Great for jogging and walking. Delivered earlier than expected...way to go!

These were the first athletic shoes that felt like they were designed for my wide, high arched feet. Very comfortable, my orthotics fit in them well.

While great out of the box, the support on these shoes gave out in just a few weeks of daily 2 mile walks. Now, less than three months after purchase, it feels like I'm walking straight on the pavement and my feet are paying the price. Shopping for replacements in a different brand.

I ordered these to save money over my usual GT-2130's. I was disappointed. The comfort was good at first, like all Asics, but the difference in quality became quickly apparent. At 6'3 at 240lbs, I wore these out in about 6 months--only working out 2-3 times/week. I usually get at least 9 months out Asics (2130's or better) even when working out more times per week. If you love Asics, don't buy this model.

I have been wearing Asics for years. This pair is the worst pair I have worn. The advertising on the footbeds inside the shoe started peeling off immediately. This was particularly annoying because I could feel it balling up underneath the arch and heel of my socks. Then, the rubber sole along the inside front of the toe became unglued. I was fine with addressing and fixing each of these issues, but the final straw came when the rubber, design elements of the outer part of the shoe (in the back, just above the heel) peeled off completely. It was then that I decided to return these shoes for a full refund. Fortunately, I found a Decathlon Store at the L'illa Mall in Barcelona, Spain where I managed to find and purchase a pair of Kalenji brand shoes (not available in the U.S. or Canada) for around 50 Euros (around $70). The Kalenji Kapteren TR2 trail shoes fit much better than the Asics and they feel much better made. In fact, they look and feel like Adidas knock-offs, as they are the store brand of Decathlon shoes.

Only Asics I\'ve ever had to return because it was made too narrow. Felt like it would have been comfortable otherwise.

I'm a big guy, and these shoes can't handle it. They have been steady falling apart since the first trail run.

Shoe bed short, cramped across ball of foot. Went up half size, too long, too wide - really disappointed as the Prior model Kahuna 3 was true to size (for me).

I don't often write reviews but after having owned these shoes for more than two years and them holding up well, these deserve it. They are quite literally the most durable shoes I have ever owned. After all the wear and tear, the sole is still intact and offers great support. Overall an excellent pair of shoes.

Very comfortable shoes I wear for work as a RN during 12 hour shifts. I added Dr Scholls heel some more but I would recommend these for sure.

This is a great quality shoe. I typically wear a 12, but 13 fit perfect. I also have a wide foot, which caused no problem here as it fits great, is very light weight and cushy feel when walking or jogging.

I am very happy with these shoes. I have been having troubles with running shoes fitting properly, but these fit very well and are very comfortable.

My husband who has problems with his feet says these tennis shoes are comfortable. They also look nice enough to wear on errands and a casual outing.
