Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kahana® 6

I have a very average 8.5 M foot, but the Adidas I first ordered were just not hugging it. I have loved the fit of some ASICS I bought for Zumba so I ordered this running shoe and have been very pleased. Great support & comfort but the laces make me hungry for Cheetos!

I have been searching the universe high and low for a new pair of running shoes for aerobics and running with a lot of cushioning and support. I ordered a wide, my first pair of wide shoes ever -- based on previous reviews. I do not have very wide feet, but prefer a roomy toe box. I wish I'd ordered a regular instead (now sold out in the color I want) because if there was anything I would change it would be a narrower fit in the heel. Really tightening up the laces keeps my heel in place, but I'm worried that if these stretch much over time my heel slipping out will be a problem. One of the problems finding the right shoe has been color. I'm in my late 30s and don't do pink, or love crazy colors that are so in right now. The lightening/titanium/bright orange is not as overpowering as most in my humble opinion. The Asics logo on the side is a more subtle yellow, and the only part that really stands out is the yellow and orange Cheeto colored laces which I had planned to replace, but even those are growing on me.

These shoes were recommended by my PT because of a fallen arch. I really like them. They are very comfortable.

These are my first pair of Asics and I love them. I usually only wear Adidas and this year I just couldn't find anything I liked from them. These are very light with a roomy toe box area. They have very nice support as well. I purchased my usual brand, size 7, and they fit true to size. The orange is neon orange which is good if you're using these shoes in an evening jog. I don't think these will be my last pair of Asics.

I absolutely love these shoes! When I walk in these shoes I feel like I am walking on foam memory clouds. I got pair of Reebok Classics that were suppose to be for walking/running but they did not have great arch support within four months the grip on the sole was going. Plus, my ankle had been bothering me and those shoes made it worse after second mile. I got these shoes in two days before I worked as SGK 5K and so I wore them for two days to break them in. Those were the most wonderful two days of my life! Yes, they are expensive but totally worth the money! The color is very bright but I received so many compliments on them because of the electric tangerine color.

I usually wear 7.5 or 8, depending on the shoe. In athletic shoes, 8 is usually a better fit than in general walking-type sneakers. That's what I ordered and they fit perfectly. They're very comfortable. And some of the reviews had said they run narrow, but I didn't find that. I have "wide" feet -- but the reality is that it depends on the shoe. I can't fit in a pair of Nike running sneakers to save my life (wide-wise), but I ordered these in normal width and they are perfect. I love the tread on the bottom, great for running and for hiking when I don't want to wear the hiking boots. Overall very happy with these so far.

Very comfortable with good support. I got the wide as I usually do for walking/jogging shoes and they fit perfectly.

Very comfortable! The gel cushion is amazing and they are surprisingly light. They hold my feet very well in place. The arch support is great. I have knee problems and these make running enjoyable! I am normally a size 10 in other shoes, and a size 10 in these shoes fit perfectly.

Great cushion and response;love how it hugs my heel. They look just like photo. Second time wearing, the heel loop ripped away from the shoe, even though it was unlaced. I will probably give these another try anyway because I like the fit. I am very choosy (snobby even) about performance shoes, and have not owned asics in a long time. these felt good right out of the box on 3 miles at a fast clip. Big departure if you are used to minimal-type shoe though.

These are very comfortable shoes. Very well cushioned. I have very picky feet I use them to give my feet a break from wearing my shoes with orthotics all the time. I am not able to wear them at work all day but for just running around they are great.

I have not had these shoes very long, but so far I like them a lot. I usually get walking shoes, but these are far more comfortable, very cushy and lightweight with no break in time necessary. It's hard to find good arch support, but these are better than most. I am planning to order another pair in a different color as soon as they are available.

Got plantar fascitis surgery less than a year ago. Dr. said I need to wear quality sneaks with good arch support and made for overpronators. These were just the trick. Liked them so much got another pair in a different color and wide width which fit my orthotics a bit better.

Got plantar fascitis surgery less than a year ago. Dr. said I need to wear quality sneaks with good arch support and made for overpronators. These were just the trick. The wide width allows my orthotics to sit in them perfectly! Love them.

Just wore these for the first time and am in love. I cannot remember a running shoe feeling this good right out of the box. I am temptted to order a back up pair...

These are the most comfortable tennis shoes I have ever owned. They support my entire foot and feel wonderful every time I wear them.

This is my third or fourth pair of the Asics GEL Kahanas - and, I have loved every one of them! Can't imagine a more comfortable shoe. Also, can't beat the service from Zappos. Great every time!

I haven't taken these running yet, but wore them around the house and they felt fantastic! Great fit out of the box, supportive, light and springy, and good cushioning for trail running, which is mostly what I'll be using them for. Excited to get out on the trails with these! Also, one of few pairs that come in a wide width so that was great.

These shoes provide great comfort and support. I didn't even have to use my inserts. they meet my needs I ordered a second pair.

I love these shoes.They're the best running shoes I've ever had, although I now walk rather than run. Color is a little wild for me, but comfort is everything.

Love my new Asics. They fit true to size. The shoe is very comfortable and supportive. I have been wearing Asics for about 5 years. They are fabulous.

Update -- awesome endurance running shoe. I wore them yesterday for the 1st time and ran for an hour on a treadmill without stopping which is something I haven't done in long long time. No knee or foot pain which has always been the case with my Kayano's. Great shoe. The tread is not too overwhelming for indoor use... in fact it isn't much different than the Kayano's. I am just upset that I didn't discover them earlier. Perfect fit for narrow heel and slightly narrow forefoot (2a's too narrow for me). Arch is medium and very good motion support.

Asics are the best. Have tried many types but this one fits and cushions the best. I love the bright colors offered.

I love these Asics. I bought a pair for my adult daughter and she liked them so much that I bought a pair for myself. Every time I wear them to the gym, I get compliments on them. the color is fabulous and the fit and support are excellent!
