I love ASICs for running. But I got this specific ASICS bc of the roughed soles and I was looking good traction on hikes. But I was disappointed — on my first wear and walking on flat pavement, I almost slipped! The soles just “glided” over the slick pavement. I thought it was just a fluke. But it wasn’t. Almost every time I wear it, and walk on any type of smooth or slick pavement — I’ve slid and almost fell. I would return this pair, but I’ve already worn them and I don’t know if Zappos will take/exchange it.

They felt great from the very first. I'm not a runner but a 72 year old who does a lot of outdoor walking. I was surprised at how good they fit and feel and yet they're reasonably priced.

These are my favorite trail shoes by far. I have been wearing this style for several years because they fit my skinny feet so perfectly. I always come back to this show every time I wear a pair out! Love them!!

I ordered my regular size and the shoe fit perfectly. I walk 5+ miles a day and the GEL-Kahana is very comfortable.

These sneakers are so comfortable. I suffer with plantar fasciitis and these sneakers have very good arch support. I love them!

Lots of support and cushion. First time I wore them did a rock climbing 5 mile mini hike and they felt great. Good traction and no pressure points.

I love these sneakers! I have been a fan of ASICS forever and this style is by far my favorite. They are becoming more difficult to come by , I hope they are not discontinued. I am plus size and am on my feet all day, while I can't wear these at work because they are not slip resistant, I have worn these all day for a few days at amusement parks and my feet feel better than my work shoes. I also wear these to walk 2 miles everyday and they are perfect. I hope they are not going away!

I've experienced multiple plantar fascia injuries over the years and discovered that Asics provide the arch support I need to help prevent further injury. The footbed is perfect for my feet - exactly the right length and width, with the arch support in just the right spot. My only complaint is the laces need to be a couple inches longer so I have an easier time tying them.

absolutely the best shoe I have ever worn for traversing rough, uneven footing. Pasture, woods, hiking, you name it this shoe offers the best support.

I've loved ASICS for years as a runner, and I look forward to using these shoes for that purpose in a couple of months. Right now, though, I am 38 weeks pregnant with my fourth child and even a little bit of walking has been making my lower back/hips kill me. In the past, I have never invested in running shoes specifically designed to address my overpronation problem, even though I knew I should, so I figured now would be a good time to try it. During my previous pregnancies my Chaco sandals have had enough arch support to keep my hips aligned and help with the pain, but this time the weather has been too cold to wear them and I was miserable. I ordered these and while I still have hip pain, I am able to handle doing a lot more in a day if I am wearing these than I was before. They fit perfectly and were comfortable straight out of the box, so I expect them to be fantastic for running too when that time comes again, and I will be able to run much more comfortably with my overpronation under control. My only concern for running is that the heel feels high enough they might make it difficult not to heel strike.

I have worn this ASICS model shoe for years. I love it. No break in period needed. Just put them on and start walking. From the description it is officially a running shoe, but I am just a walker.

I usually have good luck with ASICS fitting me well, and after reordering a half size larger than the first pair I ordered they did fir well. What I am most impressed with is Zappo,s service. The first pair was tight. So I called customer service to return them and they most helpfully aided me in the selection of the next pair plus I received the new pair promptly. Great service!
