I purchased these after reading the reviews online. I purchased half a size larger than I normally wear and they are perfect! The first run yielded no sore spots or numbness (which has happened with other shoes in the past). I love the color, the comfort and everything about these shoes!

The shoes were awesome from the time I put them on my feet. Can't think of going with another shoe. Have went from Kayano 17, 18 and now the 19.

BEST running shoes ever. So much cushioning. More than I usually spend but now I wish I had purchased a bunch when they were on sale.

I bought these running sneakers for my daughter for Christmas at her request. She is a marathon runner and so far these are the best running shoes she has worn, so she will only run in Asics Gel Kayano 19. She has bunions and heel spurs and these make it possible for her to run.

I bought these sneakers to get back into running after I had my baby. They're light weight and fantastic. The fit and support are great, plus it is a good looking sneaker. I love ASICS Gel for running -- so highly recommend it.

I have the flattest feet in the world, and the Gel Kayanos are the best thing to ever happen to them! I've put a lot of miles on my current pair, and they're still reliable. I would recommend these to anyone with knee pain or flat feet. They can be pricey, but they are totally worth the money in the long run (no pun intended).

You just cannot go wrong with these shoes. This is my third pair and I can take them out of the box and run 10 miles in them without a trace of discomfort. They are well worth the price tag!

These are the only shoes I run in. I over pronate and these provide the stability needed to held avoid that. I also love the colors this year very fun!

These shoes are great. I was able to get my orthotics in them. I where a narrow width and was able to fit in the medium width. I'm sure the narrow width would have been better but it didn't come in the black. Very happy with these shoes.

I have been a big fan of the Asics 2100 running shoe series for years. I really did not like the 2170 as they were soft. Asics abruptly discontinued the 2100 series and replaced it with the 2000s. One trip out the door with those and I was hobbling. I went into our running store and they did a video analysis of my stride and recommended the Kyano and had me try Saucony, Brooks and Mizuno in the stability versions. I was cautious as the Kyano of about five years ago was heavy and the sizing was off. Well, these are perfect so far! I wear orthotics and have very narrow feet and heels with high insteps. These Kyanos are comfortable and I feel my feet tracking straight! They are lighter than the earlier versions and a pleasure to wear running and working out. I teach studio classes and they have been great there as well! I love the grey with blue trim and will order my next pair on Zappos!

These feel wonderful. I suffer from heel pain and these sneakers feel like I'm walking on clouds, very supportive and comfy. I normally wear a size 7 but in these a 7.5 was perfect.

This shoe must be ordered one half size up from one's normal running shoe size. It is a stability-plus running shoe, especially suitable for mid-to-long distance running. The color combos are great, but these should not outshine that Asics has made the Kayano for years and it is a go-to running shoe if one needs to be in a stability or stability-plus shoe. Before wearing the Kayano, I trained in a Saucony Hurricane.

I absolutely love love love these sneakers. I have All sorts of issues like weak ankles, plantar fasciitis, painful knees, and when I wear these sneakers, they don't exist. I go through them in 6 months because I wear sneakers every single day for walking. Do not hesitate to buy these sneakers if you need serious support of your feet. They're also lightweight & cool to look at. Love!

I am a big fan of Asics. This shoe has great arch support and runs true to size but they feel to run a little wide. I know they cost a lot but they are worth every penny. If you have not tried these, you must!

Great shoes for running, walking, or just wearing anytime for all around comfort and support. I have a narrow foot and I've found that Asics fit me the best.

The best running shoes ever. Lots of support and cushion. I run 30+ miles a week and have tried several brands. I run on chunky gravel and these hold up well, usually lasting at least 400 miles. Give them a try, you won't regret the purchase!

I am a huge Asics GEL-Kayano fan. They are the most comfortable running shoes and the 19's did not disappoint. I wasn't sure about the color scheme since my tastes are more traditional but these are starting to grow on me. I highly recommend this shoe!

I absolutely LOVE these sneakers.I no longer run but I have an over pronated arch and back problems so I need good supportive shoes. They are perfect for my feet. I also have a custom orthotic that I wear in them. I usually wear a 9 but in this brand I did go up to 9 1/2. I LOVE the bright colors too...makes our dreary winters brighter. I also have the bright pink ones I wore this summer.

I buy a new pair of these running shoes every year - once you know your size, you don't need to try them on first. They are great for all the walking that I do. Since I am an old lady and the soles of my feet have thinned out, I need all the padding I can get! I was told to get a full size bigger than my regular shoes, and that turned out to be correct.

These shoes are the best. I have worn the Kinsei in the past, but I tried these because I needed new shoes and Zappos was out of my size in the Kinsei. I will never go back. These are much more supportive and comfortable. For those of us with bad feet, who want to exercise, these are the answer.

These these shoes and you will love them! I immediately noticed that these shoes eliminated my knee and heel issue. I walk quite a bit at work so I now have two pairs the black and the grey. I just saw a coworker with the New Kayano 20. I am going to get those in white when Zappos gets them in stock.

This is my third pair of this style and my favorite running shoes. They are very comfortable, provide good support and are light weight. I got them a week before a half marathon and wore them a couple times to the gym before and they felt great. No need to break them in much. I no longer get foot pain since switching to this style. I usually wear a 8½ in most shoes but find I need a 9 in Asics.

These are so great I will buy another pair when I get a little more cash. They have become my go to shoes for running, walking dog, heading to the gym. I really love them. Cushy and great stability. Full disclaimer I did add my orthotics but given little arch and having recently broke my tib/fib these are my saving grace and the combo with the Gel-Kayano 19 is a perfect mix.
