Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kahana® 6

Love the Gel-Kahana! I have multiple pair. My only complaint is that they are not wide enough since they have "upgraded." My first pair was the 4 - and since...the 5 and 6 run a bit narrow. I do not normally wear a wide shoe but have to order the wide with the new "upgrades." Luckily the wide fits well. I will continue to wear Gel-Kahana...most comfortable shoe I've had yet. Great arch support and does well with my personal orthotic in place.

Loved the bright orange laces! Loved the cushioned insole! Had to send it back, so sad. I even read the reviews and got a wide width in my normal size, still too snug. Normally wear a 7.5 medium width, got a wide width...made my toes go to sleep. Not good, so sad.

Asics always fit me well. These are very comfortable. We do a lot of trail hiking and they fit great (maybe a touch bigger, just a touch which is ok since we walk a lot and feet swell), no blisters even after first wear, great support and very cushy on the feet themselves.

I read the reviews and am usually an 8 but bought an 8 1/2 (my last pair of Asics running shoes were an 8 1/2) and these still are a little snug. I was looking for a lot of arch support and these are very supportive but seem to run a little narrow. Overall I'm keeping and using them and they aren't bad.

For the price, these are great. I'm a big Asics fan, and wanted something supportive and comfy for running. After half an hour I do find them a little restrictive in the toe-box, but since I never run very long distances that's fine for me. Good arch support and a nice squishy gel sole. Like a lot of Asics, they run a little bit short in the toe, so you might want to order the next size up.

I love the color and brand - I was trying to find a replacement for my ASICS GT 1300 that actually looked as good as they felt. Size seems a bit small- I had to return for 1/2 size up. The toe box isn't as big as my others but it may be because I use super feet inserts (which I TOTALLY recommend for fellow flat feet). Overall I love the style, colors, and fit... everything but my right toe box feels fantastic.

These shoes have a lot of support. Sending them back because although a size 9 is usually big for me, surprisingly these was a bit tight. Not the lightest shoe out there but definitely great support and for outdoors.

I really liked this shoe, but unfortunately, the wide width was just a smidgen too small. It was quite snug. Liked the style, seemed comfortable otherwise. Just not wide enough.

The shoe itself was good looking and felt sturdy, Zappos is always the way to go for shoe shopping, but that said I felt this shoe was very narrow compared to what I have worn in the past. Many women's shoes do not come in wide widths, so I compensate by getting 8½ instead of 8, so I was happy these come in a wide width. They were extremely tight, even with the laces opened much farther than I like the look of still very tight. After 30 minutes in the house thinking that I would get used to it my feet were falling asleep. Usually wide width shoes are a tiny bit wider than I need, so this was a surprise, and I double checked the size in the shoe matched the box.

I always purchase Asics for running, and the majority of my running is trail running. I wanted a shoe that was a little more rugged for wet winter training, and these do pretty well. They are stiffer than my other shoes, and not quite as comfy, but are holding up pretty well. I always size up a full size with Asics, and these were no exception. One little thing that bugged me is the laces seemed a little shorter. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with the purchase.

I had to go up a half size for this shoe. Very comfortable with good support for over pronation. I am on my feet all day plus I walk a lot for exercise. These shoes have been great. I will definitely get another pair.

These are great shoes for everyday walking and I can't wait to try them out on the trails this vacation. The only fault that I have with these shoes is that the laces were not long enough to comfortably use a "runners lock" way of lacing them . Why can't brands make available longer, color-coordinated replacement laces that still maintain the cool look of the shoes!

I ordered a wide width size but this shoe was so tight on my feet that it made them go "to sleep"! I normally buy mediums but when a wide width size is offered in shoes I typically purchase them as my feet are a little on the wide side. However, these felt like they were narrow! I put shoe stretchers on & off in them for a week. If you truly have a wide foot, I would not purchase these.

I love the colors on this shoe, and got a ton of compliments the first time I wore them. However, as a running shoe these are not the most comfortable - the arch support feels too stiff and actually starts to hurt my feet after running for a few minutes. I've never had a problem walking in them (and I don't want to return them because I think they're cute!), so I guess these are now relegated to be my dog walking shoes.

Pretty happy with shoes. Had to remove the insert because they were too tight even though I ordered a half size larger than I usually would.

These are very comfortable. But they are lacking support on the sides of the feet but they are worth what I paid.

Shoe is very pretty. Lots of cushion, but the sizing seemed small. Order a 1/2 bigger than my measurements, I suggest a whole bigger.

Love them. Put them on and immediatly went on a 2 mile walk with my dogs. Love how bright they are. Great price.

The laces on this shoe are very short. I had to loosen them to keep my feet from going numb and now I can barely tie them.

Good inexpensive tennis shoe...don't love them as much as my Asics Kayano's, but these were 1/2 the price! They will be great for just around the house. Fit is a little more snug than I prefer when laced (have a fairly narrow foot with a high arch).

These shoes are too heavy to be considered running shoes. The gel is nice and cushiony but if you jog 12-15 miles a week you will notice the weight. Good for walking or biking but not serious running!

I was really excited to order these tennis shoes because of all the great reviews they've gotten so I was a little disappointed they were giving me blisters for the first 2 weeks. I think I've finally broken them in now and they seem OK, but I've never had to do that with a tennis shoe before. Everybody thinks they're super stylish though! Overall it's a pretty good shoe, but definitely not as comfortable as the other Asics I've had.

I had to send this shoe back because they were too narrow. Asics are usually great for people with wider feet but this pair was not. If I had narrower feet this shoe would have been great!

I am writing a review after having this pair of shoes for just over a year. I'm writing because while I really liked the shoe for running (I jog about 2-3 miles 3 times a week), I'm not a competitive runner, enjoying a leisurely jog partially on asphalt road and dirt/gravel paths through a park. I liked the shoes very much when I purchased them, having listened to the reviews that say they run rather narrow, so I believe I bought an 8 and 1/2 wide. The only complaint and that is why I am writing this review is that the outside tread of each shoe has really worn down. I had a previous gel model, much older than this pair, and the outer tread has not worn down as much. Perhaps jogging half the year during nice weather results in tread wear, but I think this seems more than I would have expected. I can't use the newer pair as my feet lean toward the outside of my step, so I'm looking for another new pair. I'll stick with Asics, but wanted to mention this as I didn't expect to be paying for more shoes a year later.
