Oh my goodness! Finally tried them out today after getting them at "Warp Speed" last week! These Asics are light as a feather and yet strong and very comfortable! The provide excellent arch support and lots of room for my toes and perfect fit for both heel and ball of the foot areas! I Love Them!
I'd also recommend:
Hi-Tec work boots and Asics Cross Training shoes like the Gel-Kahana 8!

I would definitely order a 1/2 size bigger as they run small but other than that they are a great fit and are comfortable

These shoes run VERY small for Asics. In the past size 10 Asics were great for me. I tried 10, 10.5 and 11 and they were all too narrow...by the time I got to the 11 the shoe was too narrow and too long. I really liked the style but these just would not work for me.

My feet overpronate so stability is a key issue in choosing a shoe. These seem perfect. They are a little bit narrow in width compared to my other ASICS GT-1000 pairs, but not enough for it to be a problem and seem to be loosening up with wear

We were searching for a replacement for the Gel Kahana 6 (it's been a while. We usually purchase two pairs at a time.) I was concerned about the complaints of the narrower shoe, but ordered my husband's normal size that he has ordered in the past. So far, he seems perfectly satisfied with this version.

I am a nurse and have very flat feet. After a heavy shift, I would be crippled. Going up/down stairs was excruciating. It would take me a couple days to recover. These shoes are amazing. I’m back to taking stairs 2 at a time.

These are good shoes. It's hard to go wrong with asics. I just need more out of a shoe than this can provide.

No comparison to the Gel 7. Very disappointed the outsole peeled of within a few months of use. Disturbingly too fast for normal wear and tear.

My favorite shoes of all time. That these have been discontinued is proof that we live in a universe that is indifferent to our suffering. I am still looking for suitable replacememts that gave me the same comfort and reliable performance as these did.

I have a very low volume foot - narrow and flat. Asics work well for me because they are particularly narrow in the heel cup. I order Asics 1/2 size up compared to other brands. Great price for a quality trail runner / hiking shoe.

Best pair of running shoes on snow-covered roads I've ever had. (Fifth pair of Kahanas in past 12 years.)

Beat running shoe. I pronate and have a wide women’s foot. I love these and have ordered several pairs in several generations. These are a great shoe.

The Gel-Kahana 8 performs as well as it looks! It provides good stability and traction, allowing you to focus on your run ahead, not just where your next step is going to be.

Size 11 , medium width. Fits well. No issues so far. We’ll see after a few months of use. I like that they do not squeak or creak when walking.

The shoe fit was very good. However, I ordered a full size larger since I use custom orthotics. After removal of the insert and placement of the orthotics, I am quite satisfied with my purchase.
