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'd also recommend:
None. Asics are the best!

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!

The shoes look nice, feel great, and fit perfectly! I'm no shoe expert, so if you want a more technical review, look elsewhere! Zappos has always provided great service.

I haven't had a pair of Kayanos since about 10 or 11...these 20's are amazing. Most comfortable shoes I've ever felt...right out of the box! I have mild pronation, these are just the right amount of control. Pricey, but worth it. Love them!

I really wanted the rust color, so I did nit purchase from Zappos, but I would highly recommend their customer experience any day. They are the best online retailer that I have ever dealt with. The Kayano 20s are awesome. I have flat feet and the multidensity motion control makes these shoes super stable without the uncomfortable rock in the arch that some supportive shoes give me. I wear an 11 in running shoes, and they are true to size and width. Great cushioning in the forefoot bed and an overall very comfortable shoe. The new materials for the upper and the new style heel counter are great. Perfect evolution. Thesea er great shoes.
