Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 25

I usually wear 8.5 but I wear a 9 in these sneakers. I LOVE them. So comfortable straight out of the box. I'm not a big runner but I wear these as my regular sneakers during the day and often walk many miles a day for work.

Perfect shoes for running!

I was hoping for more arch support, but these are super comfortable. They fit like Nikes - I am a 7 in shoes, but an 8 in these sneakers. I like that they offer extra outer heel support. I bought in the light grey, which are neutral and match all my workout gear.

First I want to start by saying I picked these at least 50% for the looks color combination. I really like the way they look and will wear them on a regular basis to work (medical field, scrubs). They have fair arch support. My other “go to” shoes are Brooks with a much softer sole and cushion. So far I have really enjoyed these and my feet have felt great after 10 + hours in them. They also look great and seem to be somewhat water resistant. I would definitely recommend them for someone on their feet all day.

I love these shoes. I wore them out of the box to work all day and my feet felt great! The toe box is wider which is great. The ankle support is great. I was buying orthotics for my old shoes but I don’t need them for these. I feel like there’s enough support without them.

I am a long time fan of the GEL-Kayano. I had three different pairs in the 21. I need a wide toe box and good arch support and the 21 delivered on both. With the 22 Asics changed the design to a narrower toe box and since that time I have shied away from them. I was excited when I saw many reviewers saying that the 25 had returned to the wide toe box design, and I am happy to say I have found that to be true. Great shoes and great support. Fingers crossed that Asics doen't change them again with the next itteration.

Perfect shoes for everyday wear. Comfortable with good support. I live in Kayano shoes.

It's just like walking on the clouds!!! Very comfortable and nice looking. I was surprised to see that the medium width fit me perfectly.

I've been wearing gel kayanos for several years, at least since the kayano 21. This kayano 25 is not tight on the big toe as recent issues were, it is comfortable and I am ordering another pair in a different color. I am very happy that Asics came back to a comfortable shoe.

you guys are awesome. Whenever I had a problem, you guys refunded me before you even got the shoes back so I could order the right ones. Your the best store I've dealt with! Thank u!!

I LOVE these shoes! I’m a nurse and have to have good shoes. I have overpronation. These are perfect.

I exchanged the bright blue pair for these. They’re super comfortable. Decent arch support, good cushion. I think they are a better fit than my 23s of the same style. I like the muted grey color-I don’t feel like a walking beacon of brightness when I step outside in them. Be informed-the colorful shoes are BRIGHT.

The narrow fit is good but the side is too high and hits the ankle bone. I usually wear Asics Gel Nimbus or Mizuno Wave Rider but neither of the new models them are available in a narrow this year.

First ASIC kayano with a bigger toe box.

True to size and feel great. This shoe is super supportive and exactly what I needed for my plantar fasciitis. I feel relief while wearing these shoes. Amazing color selections. Worth the cost

I have worn Gel-Kayanos for a few years (after a few with Brooks Adrenaline) to help with my pronation. This pair seems even more comfortable than the previous version. The fit gives cushion to the bottom of my feet while firmly hugging my feet in place for control of motion. I feel very stable in these shoes. The eggplant color is beautiful. I initially thought they were black with purple accents (I think my computer screen was tilted back too far), but I'm very happy with the pop of color with my usually black exercise pants.

These shoes are so comfortable to run in. When I first put them on, I thought they were too soft for a stability shoe. I was wrong. The softness and stbility work perfectly for me. BTW I read one review that said the shoes squeaked, well that's because there is an RFID sticker under the left sock liner/insole. Just take the insole out and pull the sticker out and no more squeaking!!

I have worn ASICS for years because I have a very narrow foot. I have been disappointed in ASIC Gel Nimbus these last two years so when I opended the Kayano and tried them on I was elated at the comfort and fit. I took them out of the box and put them on and ran 3 miles this morning. They are fantastic! Thank you ASIC for bringing back your Gel comfort to running shoes. I would have preferred a happier color, but when you have narrow feet, you take what feels good.

Were true to size. I wear a 9.5 wide and they were roomy! They did not help my overpronation from a blown out posterior tibial tendon, though. And they were perfect for almost flat feet due to same condition...I just need more stability for overpronation...sad to send them back...

I’ve been a faithful ASICS girl for years but this is the best pair I’ve ever had. Feels like it’s custom made. I’ll probably buy another pair so I can have a spare

I would like to see more choices of color in narrow width.

Excellent shoe. Kayano 25 is now can I say perfect. The design and comfort is beyond my expectation. Thank goodness. We needed these to finally be right. Thank you ZAPPOS for your contribution to stocking this new design for us. I can’t thank you enough. I’m a loyal customer of Zappos. They always take care of me.

Best Kayano in the past few years!

I actually received a print flyer from Zappos regarding these and was really skeptical, but decided to give them a try since Zappos is so reasonable with their return policy. I figured I had nothing to lose but my time. I notice most everyone feels that these shoes are fantastic except for one review, which said there wasn't enough room in the shoe with high arches. According to the flyer, these shoes are for low arches and flat feet..which I can vouch they are fantastic for. No rubbing, fit perfect out of the box. Not too big and not too small.. just right. The Cumulus 20 are for high arches (not these). That being said, I normally buy Saucony's which are great.. but one thing I notice differently on these is the cushion. Oh this are so amazing for high impact sports. So I think I would recommend these if you are running or playing tennis or something, but my Saucony's are great for walking and every day stuff.

I ordered 1/2 size up from my normal size and in the narrow width. I loved the feel and fit but one shoe was uncomfortable around my ankle so I sadly had to return them. Too bad because they were quite comfortable with nice padding and great arch support. I ordered the grey color, not very feminine but a good neutral look.
