pretty shoes but not enough arch support for my high arches. Also, the size 8 was too tight for my 7.5-8 sized feet.

Great looking shoe, unfortunately does not have a good arch support and is tight in the toe area. Feels 1/2 size smaller.

The gel kayano was bulky and very structured. It caused me to work very hard and I ended up trying the nimbus instead which worked better for me. The gel nimbus was light and structured but more flexible. I enjoyed being able to try out both samples and I feel it will allow me to recommend to our customers.

I have worn Asics for many, many years and this model is not fitting like they used to. So sad. I hope I can find a future model that fits like their older models.

I have a few pairs of Asics Kayano, but the sizing and cut have changed. My typical size is now too small. I also did not think the 23's had as good of arch support as previous models. The patten and styling were great. Wish they would have worked out.

My last pair was the kayano 20 (my second pair), and they were perfect. This new model is not only a half size smaller but they are so narrow they squeeze my feet until they hurt. It doesn't help that they replaced the fabric heel of the shoe with rigid plastic that digs into the sides of the foot, esp the inside which compressed some nerves causing both my feet to tingle. The upper across the toes are so snug that running in them would be chaffing as there's no room for the toes to move around. These shoes also have no arch support whatsoever. The foot bed is just wide enough to climb the wall of the shoe, but there is no support under the foot bed or in it. Really quite a terrible shoe. Not worth the price, even on clearance.

I should have listened to the reviews--toe box so narrow that my toes go numb after about 30 minutes in this shoe. ANd my foot is just a standard width--DO NOT BUY if you like the 22 and how it fit. Ive tried wearing them four times and are returning them today. You would think that Asics would redesign this shoe!!!

I have worn Asics for many years and am very disappointed in this shoe. It is not nearly as comfortable as my Asics have been in the past and even gave me blisters when wearing them while running. Definitely will not be purchasing these again!

The front sole of one of the shoes peeled off after two wears. Poor quality for the price.

I wear an 8 in normal shoes and I size up to an 8.5 for my running/workout shoes. I ordered these in a size 8.5 and they were horrible! When I put them on my foot, they felt like tap shoes, not fitness shoes. I'm returning these and going back to my Brooks Glycerins.
