Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kahana® 8

I got these shoes for Christmas, and am exceedingly happy with them. Thank you ASICS for realizing that girls have big feet too! My size 11 1/2 shoes are sturdy enough for the trail, but light enough for the street. I will continue to buy these, as they are true to size and comfortable.

I bought these trail shoes on a whim and Love them.

I received my Asics Gel Kahana 8 size 11 womens shoe today. I immediately put them on and took a 2 mile walk around my ranch with rocky inclines and rocky paths. My feet are thin, bony, and long with a mild over pronation. OMG I love these shoes. They run narrow which is what drew me to them in the first place because size 11 shoes are normally way too wide for me. These are perfect. I had absolutely no pressure points on my feet, no sensations in my hips, knees or ankles. I rate them the best I have tried yet. I don't know about durability yet since I just got them, so may have to do an update later. Currently training for half marathon using my ranch as the training venue.

Yes, the Kahana 8 is narrower in the toe box than previous versions of this shoe. Other than that, though, I think this is still the same great shoe. If you have flat feet, this one's for you!

This is the ONLY shoe that has great arch support - all the others have resorted to minimal support leaving the buyer to get inserts. But inserts alone aren't enough for my feet. I have high arches, am 5'2", run 3+ miles four times a week, and need both good shoe support and inserts, so I use Spenco Cross trainers with my Kahana's. Have been running in Kahana's for many years now. Don't know why my local running store has every Asics but the Kahana's, but thank you Asics for continuing to make them!!
