I ordered a pair of these shoes and was shocked to find that they were a horrible fit. I have worn Asics for 6 years and this is the first time I have had a problem. I was convinced that they had to be mismarked size wise, or defective in some way. Zappos graciously sent out another pair to me,they are truly an exceptional company. Anyway, when I tried on the second pair it was the same comfort I have come to expect from Asics. A perfect fit, which leads me to think that there was something wrong with the first pair. This is a great shoe, well made, very comfortable and serves me well, as I walk 4 miles a day, 7 days a week at a fast pace. I couldn't ask for a better shoe. I wear an 11, but find that 11 1/2 is better for walking.

Excellent shoe for the price. Very comfortable for my treadmill use and job. But the purple is much brighter and stands out more than I would have cared for.

No more foot fatigue! I work 12 hr shifts and always on my feet. These feel great even at the end of my shift. Love the colors too. Super fast shipping! I so love Zappos.

These are exactly what I was looking for in a running shoe! Excellent support and bright colors that make me more visible to traffic.

My first pair of ASICS and I'm a convert, in spite of the uncanny similarity between the orange shoelaces and Crunchy Cheetos. They felt comfortable right out of the box and have the right amount of give and support for my slightly wide, low arch feet. They are probably too hip for a middle-aged lady, but my kids love think they rock!

This is my second pair of asics and I love the brand. I walk about eighteen miles or more a week on trails and these are wonderful for support and comfort. My foot is a little on the wide side and the eight fit perfect just like my last ones. Zappos is awesome.

Orange crush! Asics are the only sneakers I wear and as long as I order ones with good arch support reviews I'm always happy! So that leaves the color and since orange is my favorite color, I might even order another pair of these before I need them just in case they stop making them. Not for the faint of heart though, this orange is like construction worker or hunting vest orange. No hiding in these, but its only the trim and I love them!

I bought these for my niece that runs cross country. She is very flat footed and found these shoes to be very comfortable for her. The arch does not hurt her feet and has very good cushioning for her. I would highly recommend them as a running shoe. The colors are a great combination and look well on the foot. I had to order her a 1/2 size up than her normal shoe size.

INCREDIBLE stability. Heads up Asics and we're chicks...you'd sell more if you had a better variety of colors. These shoes are so stable, great support around the heal and ankle. Everyone keeps telling me it's a trail running show...but my feet are jacked...and so all the grip, width and support are so amazing for everyday for me. Roomy and comfy toe box without slippage. so amazing, I'm hooked.

I love these shoes! I have the exact ones with pink trim. I purchased the ones with orange because they were the only ones that came in wide. They are very comfortable and provide good support.

This a great shoe. I wear the Asics Gel Foundation 10 for running. It is a great shoe, but I wanted a different shoe that would work well on trails, as well as, for walking, and biking. The Asics Kahana is the right shoe for the job. It has excellent treads for trail hiking/running and it has good cushioning along with great pronation control.
I overpronate and have a narrow foot. The Kahana is a bit narrow, so if you have a really wide foot, it may not work for you.
You should definitely order a 1/2 size up from your normal shoe size. I find that most running shoes are about a 1/2 size to short for me.

Got these shoes for running, went 1/2 size larger than my usual and wide. They fit great, very comfortable for a run and good traction. I am running on pavement and really appreciate the cushioning in these shoes.

These shoes are amazing! As soon as I put them on I was ready to run! I don't do trail running, strictly indoor treadmill, but the extra padding makes these shoes extra comfortable for indoor running. If you run indoors and want a sneaker that last longer...buy these! I will never buy any other sneaker brand again!

Oh, how I love these running shoes for walking. They're super-light, breathe well and keep you moving at a good pace with their ergonomic soles. I bought the obnoxious color because I want to be visible to drivers and cyclists, and every little bit of day-glow orange helps. Asics are great for people with wide feet and in need of solid arch support. You can't find a better walking shoe.

This is my 2nd pair of Kahana 6 and I love them! They are very supportive and I use them equally for work (I'm a teacher and on my feet all day) and for exercise. I recommend ordering up a half size.

Love my new shoes! I do a variety of activities and these, so far, cover them all! They have good arch support and are comfortable on my runs! The bright colors are fun and people love them! I would recommend Asics for everyone!

I love my new trail runners. Asics seem to be best for me, as I like the extra cushioning on the entire foot. I just wore them in an off road 5 mile race and they were great. Plenty of room in the toe area (however, I do buy a size bigger than my normal shoes).

Saucony or NB both seem to have lots of cushion

The shoes I ordered were the perfect fit and very comfortable. The video on Zappos helped me choose them and I'm very happy with my purchase! The site was so user friendly and my shoes came the next day. We probably live close to a distribution center, but still! This was my first time buying from Zappos, but it definitely won't be my last!

Bought these sneakers, very comfortable! Only complaint was shoe laces are not long enough. Hard to wear them a bit loose. I'm a nurse and after work my feet never hurt! I will only buy Asics now, well worth it!

The shoe is very comfortable and has relieved a lot of foot pain. I purchased them for running, although I haven't used them for running yet. I really like these shoes!

I've never ordered athletic shoes online before, but I will from now on! The shoes fit me perfectly (even left room for my orthotics). Love the colors and the convenience of online ordering. I ordered 8.5 (I generally wear 8 - 8.5 size shoes) and they were spot on.

Great shoes. My feet are on the wide side of regular, and the shoes feel wonderful. I also have extremely high arches, which makes tightening the laces without discomfort a little difficult, but this is something I've grown used to on all shoes.

These are good shoes. I have always done New Balance because I have wide feet with high arches, but these are just as good. Very comfortable, but I still need to use additional arch support. They seem well-made, and I get lots of compliments on the color!
