Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kahana® 6

I'm a 10.5, but these shoes feel super snug. Maybe it takes some breaking in, we'll see. Length was dead on, but width was a bit tight and I do not wear wide shoes normally. In fact, my last Asics were a 10 and fit perfect, so I don't know. Maybe I'll take out the insoles. The shoes do feel like I'm walking on air, they are really light and breathe well. They are also very reflective. But I do have to say, I love Zappos! Their customer service is amazing! Thanks!

The may be the best shoes I've ever owned. Fit like a glove. Great support and very stable for my weak ankles.

Love these shoes, I have back problems and tried the lightweight shoes thinking a more natural walking stride would help. After trying a couple different shoes I went back to a shoe with 5star reviews for comfort. I am already adding miles to my hiking without nearly as much pain.

I was in search for a replacement after the Asics Trabuco trail shoe was discontinued. There fit the bill. I am 5' 8"/145lb 1/2 marathoner and have a slight over pronation and prefer a moderate cushion, these work awesome. Great fit right out of the box.

I really like these shoes. The colors are great. I wear between a 13 & 14 wide and these, although medium width, are wide enough. A lot of cushion. I'm overweight and tried the "barefoot" style shoes and they just didn't work for me. These are comfortable.

I have chronic plantar fasciitis. I have worn all sorts of brands/models in order to find a pair that would make my feet not hurt. My work requires being on my feet for 90% of the time, which only makes my feet hurts worst particularly at the end of each day. The only way I get comfortable with any sneakers is to use extra arch support. This is the only pair/model/brand that I did not need to use extra arch support. I have been wearing my first pair for over six months now and although my plantar fasciitis has not completely gone away, my feet feel no worse at the end of the day. I like this model so much that I bought extra pairs just in case the company decides to stop making them.

I wanted something comfortable and visual to wear while cycling. These shoes are perfect, very comfortable fit and the orange soles are what I was looking for.

I was in a car accident and was learning to walk again. I've worn boots my whole life and didn't have a pair of tennis shoes. When I was looking around I found zappos.com had the cheapest shoes. I was told to get Asics because they would be the best on my feet and be the most comfortable. If John Deere would've made a tennis shoe I would've bought them but these were the closest I could find. Since my feet were reconstructed they weren't the same size so when I ordered the shoes they didn't fit. I called zappos.com and they told me to return them for free and they would go ahead and ship the larger size out that day. Just to make sure I sent the others back. They paid all shipping and I didn't have to pay a dime even though I ordered the wrong size! They were more than far and even overnighted them to me. I would shop at Zappos again. By far the best online purchase I've ever made!

This is a wonderful web site for buying shoes! When I had a problem and called for help, the customer service went above and beyond helping me! Thanks to a wonderful group with even better shoes.

My shoe size is 12 1/2 AA, high arches. I am 6'2" tall and weigh 184. I am a heel-to-toe runner, I run 3 miles every morning, and I walk many more miles daily on trails and fire roads. Years ago my wife bought me a pair of Kahana's, and yesterday I reluctantly put them in our garbage can...I ran the heels down 1/4", then I used them for fishing/trail walking (excellent grip on steep-loose-rocky terrain), then I retired them to mud-shoes for work in the vegetable garden. I beat the daylights out of these shoes for YEARS. And WHOOPEE...I now have a brand new pair. First, for me, the fit is perfect. Second, it is not a "soft" shoe. It's hard underfoot, and feels real good on rough terrain. Third, the sole is deep cut, with varied surface adhesion, and perfect for trails.

My husband loves these shoes. He has lower back problems and he says these are the most comfortable for his daily walks. This is his second pair and they fit just as the first pair did. Good cushioning and stability.

Great shoes! I needed a "real" pair of running shoes after suffering through more than a year in the minimalist craze. These totally restored my enjoyment with long runs. Well constructed and comfortable, I've been logging around 20 miles a week for the last month in them. I'd definitely purchase again.

At first they seemed very narrow, but after one or two workouts, they loosened up considerably and are very comfortable. I've received a lot of compliments on the colors.

I LOVE these shoes. They're my second pair of Kahanas and they're even more comfortable than my first (which were/are also great). The shoe is amazingly light weight and provided me the perfect amount of support, whether I'm jogging a trail or weight training at the gym.

I've been buying Asics running shoes for many years with great results, but my Big 5 store stopped carrying my shoe. I looked in Google and found Zappos. I took a chance with the Kahana size 4EE and they were PERFECT! I've needed the extra wide for years but didn't know it. I love these shoes. Zappos shipped them fast; I had them in 4 days I think.

I've put about 40 miles or so on mine so far with a mix of treadmill and road. I picked these up for extra padding due to have some leg issues recently. I've been very happy so far and these have been supportive and comfortable.

Great sneakers. I was previously wearing New Balances. There is a ton of cushioning in the heel and they feel great when you're running around.

Good arch support. Feels narrower than other asics I have purchased in same size. Good blend of dark and bright color.

This is a great shoe. Zappos and I were sending shoes back and forth (about 4 at a time!) until I finally found this one. It's a sturdy sole and airy upper. Since I wear orthotics I can't speak to the arch support issues, but I definitely need the width and depth that ASICS offers. Customer service folks were/are terrific! I'm a long time Zappos customer.

Great cross training shoe. Needed a 4E, and I usually lean toward New Balance, but after trying 4 different pairs (thanks Zappos return policy) I found these. Using them for P90X and hiking, and so far they are fantastic. Very light considering the thicker sole, and they breathe well.

Seems they changed it slightly from the 5. But still a comfortable shoe.

Zappos came through again. Always a pleasure dealing with you guys. Quick delivery, great product, the shoes fit, loved them. Thanks for continuing your great service!

I recently purchased these shoes and, after a few miles on them, can say they are great. I typically purchase New Balance since I'm so hard to fit (EEEE) but, after ordering a half size larger (had to send another pair back), I'm very happy with these. As for durability, time will tell.

Been a Brooks and Mizuno fan for 20 years. If you're a bigger guy with high arches, I'd highly suggest this shoe.

I'm not a fun of running, so I just use this shoes for usual life. I didn't expect much about this shoes but it turned out this shoes is extremely comfortable. This shoes fit to feet well and reduce the shock very well. Now I'm thinking whether I should buy additional one for a spare or not.
