Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kahana® 8

Using this model primarily for hiking. Very comfortable with arch and heel support.

I've purchased these shoes 3 times and am very happy with them as all purpose shoes for running (trails, road and treadmill (when the weather is just too bad). Good fit and the darker colors are great for not showing all the use in mud and wet weather.

They feel good right out of the box, just a little more narrow than I thought they would be. I also bought a half size bigger knowing these run a little small and they fit perfectly in length.

I love these shoes! They're the same style that I've been running in for years. They fit just as expected and I love the way they look!

Feels like walking on air. Zappos has the best customer service. Promptly shipping and returning with no questions.

I only buy my athletic shoes from Zappo's. Their prices, products, customer service, reliability, ?and delivery are consistently exceptional.

Most ASICS in this price range have lost comfort and quality over the last several years. This style seems to be built better and is more comfortable out of the box than others put out by ASICS.

Perfect out of the box.

My 4th or 5th pair. I use them for walking and hiking. Fit well and comfortable.

"Ladies and Gentlement, really great shew!" I prefer these to running shoes, heavier, last longer, more support.

This shoe provides a lot of support. I am over pronator so I chose this shoe to give more heel support.

Great fit, great sneaker!

Fit is perfect right out of the box. Very good traction on trails. Excellent service from Zappos. My shoes arrived earlier than expected.

Was in the market for new shoes for the gym. I have a fallen arch so need good arch support Saw these and have liked ASICS in the past so tried them. Have had for 2 weeks now and love them Great arch support and have been very comfortable. I even order another pair for daily use.

My husband loves this shoe. He always wears Asics and these are comfortable right out of the box. He wears them for running, and then as they wear out he uses them for yard work. I think he has at least two pairs of the Kahana-8 in the garage and several more that he rotates for exercise. He's bought every color except the red and likes the look of all of them.

My husband found these very comfortable with no break in period necessary. He is a street runner with orthopedic inserts. The inserts fit easily in these shoes.

My husband loves his new shoes. Fit and look are both great.

This is my second pair of Gel Kahana 8s. Like many other reviewers, I've been wearing Kahana's since the 3rd iteration, and these are much narrower than before/feel much different, but I adjusted. I had to size up to a Men's 11.5 even though I normally wear a Women's 11, so the sizing was way off for me. That said, I wear these to walk to work every day (35 mins each way) and they keep my old lady feet from hurting better than any other shoe I've tried. I think this style is VERY good for foot pain if that is what you are looking for. I originally used Kahanas to trail run, and was also satisfied with their comfort. I received my first pair of 8s in Sept 2017, so one pair lasted just under a year with walking to/from work every day.
