*These shoes are specifically designed for customers who have moderate to severe overpronation while running. I would highly recommend visiting http://www.asicsamerica.com/shoe-finder#/ to find out what is the best shoe for your needs* With that said, I love the Kayano's. I had researched for months to find the right shoes and had found that for me it was Asics Kayano. The moment I put them on I knew this was the right fit. I had gone through many different shoes and none of them were as supportive in all the right places. While I highly recommend these shoes it is important to remember that shoes are like jeans. There are many fits, designs, and features. What is most important is finding the right fit for you. Zappos did a great job with this as I ordered the 2E and found my feet were wider than I expected ;) Zappos sent me the new pair without question or charge and let me return the previous pair when the new ones arrived. Loved that. Will not be going any were else in the future :)

Quick delivery. Very high quality finish on the shoe. I'm wearing them to work because they are stylish as well as super comfortable. I'm not a runner, I see this as a great all around shoe.

This is my first real running shoe ( kayano gel 20 112E). Recommended by a Asics store specialist after analyzing my foot and how it lands when running. I came to know I was a overpronator and this shoe was a good buy. Fit excellent and I am preparing for my first 5K. I am done with 3 weeks already and 4 more weeks to the race. Never felt any pain when I tried running with other shoes which didn't suit my foot. Will buy this again in a blink. Especially as the new version came out the price dropped from a lot to less which is a steal.

I bought these for my son, who has painfully flat feet, after looking around town and trying on a lot of less expensive shoes. It was hard to spend so much but we have never found any other style that works as well for him and I know from his last pair of Kayanos that they are so comfortable that he will most likely refuse to wear any other shoes until they fall apart. They're well made though so I'm sure that won't be for a while, which is saying a lot for a teenager's school/athletics/hanging out shoes.

I need 13/4E shoes. Zappos carried them and most local stores did not. My feet are also flat and I have had a bout of plantar fasciitis. The Kayanoss are well cushioned and treat my feet pretty well. I am very happy with them. Now if you could get my size in all colors...

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever put on my feet. There were a few hot spots due to some slippage, but there are plenty of tutorials out there of how to re-lace each shoe to correct for certain things. Took care of it immediately. Overall, I'm more than happy with the shoes. Kudos to Asics. This was my first purchase through Zappos and it was a solid experience.

I am a women with a high instep and a tailor's bunion. My requirement for shoes are: 1. good arch support 2. wide enough width, that my tailor's bunion has room. I went to a sports store and asked for help from their salesperson. I did not care if the shoes were womens or mens as long as they were comfortable. The salesperson pointed to these shoes. Although they were mens medium width shoes, they fit me perfectly and it was love at first step. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I spend 8 hours day, 5 days week on my feet, walking all over the place and now I just smile.

I've worn the same shoes for years so I just ordered the same size and style that I've always bought. Best price that I have found for these shoes.

True to size! Very stylish. I bought them for my 12 year old son, and not only did he like them but he has told me on more than one occasion how they are soo comfortable!! Made well! I think they just might last the whole year! Most defiantly worth the money!

Gel Kayano 20 (20 year anniversary) upholds the quality and comfort of its predecessors. I highly recommend this sneaker. Thanks Zappos for continuing the fast delivery and great Customer Service!

These are comfortable shoes although they are not as wide in the toe region as the Kayano 19. In fact they seem tighter all over which might or might not be what you are looking for.

I have been a Brooks Beast user for well over 15 years. I thought that I would give these Asics Gel Kayano 20s a try, and I am glad that I did. They have good support and holds up well for my 275 pound frame. They are just as good as the Beast, maybe even better. They are lighter, and I love that! The overall support is great. These are great stability shoes.

Asics Gel Kayano is GREAT. It is one of the top 2 most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. Awesome cushioned running shoe. Recommend it for any kind of exercise, especially if you've got aches of any kind. I'd also had a foot injury that is healing and needed top of the line comfort and support for all day, buy this shoe! Also cute.

Asics never seem to disappoint, and the Kayano 20s are no exception. Cushy, but supportive. Lots of shock absorption. Awesome ride. And sales reps Dre and Miguel were cool, too!

Liked them so much I bought another pair. First pair is a year old, still going strong. My Nike shoes blew out after 4 months so I bought another pair of these. I am now a loyal Asics customer.

Lightweight and comfortable yet still with excellent arch support. I've enjoyed running in them. I thought EE could have been a pinch wider. Highly recommend.

These are my go to running shoes. I always have 2 pair. These worked well for me as I am 6' 5" and 230 lbs and the cushioning is good. Asics has always been the brand I come back to for running shoes, and I have tried several others over the years.

I searched for about 2 months off and on looking for shoes. Most of the styles were a turn off. I wanted to make sure I found the most comfortable and supportive shoes that didn't blink or have flames shooting off them. So far so good. These are very comfortable shoes. 2nd pair of Asics and would recommend after conducting thorough research. I wear a 12 dress shoes, but 13 tennis shoe.

These shoes are incredibly comfortable. I have foot issues, including flat arches, pronation and plantar fasciitis. Combined with a Powerstep insole these have provided the most comfortable shoe experience I've ever had. Only one minor observation: they seem less well vented than a previous, cheaper pair of Asics that I have, so my feet feel a bit warmer. But they are so insanely comfortable and reasonably priced, that this is the most minor issue.

Asics Gel-Kayano has been my go-to running shoe for years, because they have consistently provided excellent cushion and support for my large frame. I have never been disappointed. I love the color selections too.

Best Shoe EVER! I've been purchasing running shoes over the last 25+ years and I have always found that the Asics have the best stability and comfort. The ASICS Gel Kayano shoe has moderate pronation stability and the shoe feels like it molds to your feet after several uses. The shoe feels like it is made of quality material and will last a long time. I'm hooked on the Gel-Kayanos!

We have ordered several generations of these shoes and we absolutely love them. Our whole office wears them at our daily lunch walk time.
