My feet are between sizes 8 and 8.5. I ordered these shoes in both sizes. The 8.5 were a bit long, but the 8.0 were definitely too small because the toe box had much less height (so the shoe squeezed my feet from the top, even though the length was OK). I ended up keeping the 8.5, in spite of being slightly long on me. I have worn the Gel Kayanos for years with a Superfeet green insole and have always been happy with their comfort and durability. I hope these will be the same.

Love, love, love these shoes! I so hate to give in and buy another until it is too late (I'm afraid they will not fit the same). I was almost too late but these shoes are the best! Stable but I do add my own arch supports to get them to keep me moving. I'm am not as crazy about the colors but I can live with it. Thank you, Asiscs!

This is a wonderful model by Asics. It was comfortable right out of the box and it has great stability and arch support. Has an ample toe box and runs true to size. I hope they come out with more styles and colors without changing the support of this shoe and I'll be a happy future customer!

I ran in the Gel-Kayano until 13 or 14. They started getting bulky and built up and not comfortable....plus ugly colors. I have been running in Adidas bounce and like but they have become to much of a fashion statement and don't seem like a serious running shoe. Training for NY marathon and needed a new shoe and tried this new one. Just finished 18 miles on first run and LOVE....light, wide toe box and don't feel like I'm on stilts! Only thing I would recommend is to get some cool colors for the women like the men's. I only like the white, pink and blue and like most ALL or the men's! Note: WOMEN DONT LIKE AQUA BLUE!!! Give us some neon colors or those cool men's white ones. Also if you could ever get a sock like entry like adidas bounce it would be amazing!! Best shoe from you in a long time!

The forefoot is wider than the previous versions. It is great again!! The blue is a very nice blue. The shoe has a good amount of ventilation in the forefoot from the mesh. I usually buy a half size larger and add an orthotic and a dr scholl foam pad because I like lots of cushioning. After doing this it is perfect! I do the “fix” for all of my athletic shoes. I’m happy!

I bought the 25 as soon as it came out. I run in two pairs and now I can't stand to run in the 24s. These are by far the most comfortable running shoe I've had. I can't say enough good things about them. Please don't change the design asics next year. Just the color. :)

I LOVE these shoes!! I have joint hypermobility and peroneal tendinitis so I really need extra support around the ankles. There is so much cushioning under the heel but without any extra bulk, so my foot feels better wearing these sneakers than nothing at all. My ankles have been bothering me for two weeks straight but instantly felt better when I put these on. Despite my injuries, I went for a run in these and felt NO PAIN the whole time. These are incredible - they are narrow around the heel and ankle to keep everything locked in and secure but the toes are wider and have plenty of room to move around. Overall amazing shoe, I’m buying another pair today

A return to the old Asics quality and fit! I love these running shoes - they are so much better than the last two versions of the GEL-Kayanos. The fit is TTS for Asics - I wear an 8 in these, and normally wear 7.5 in heels. Great stability to prevent pronation and penty of rear and fore-foot cushioning.

I have been wearing Kayanos since before they had model numbers on them. Until the 22 & 23, they were out of the box no-brainers but the narrow toe box of those 22 & 23's destroyed my faith in this model. Along came the 24's and gave me hope but the toe box height still cranked on my !st MTP joint and caused foot issues - I was fully ready to jump the Asics ship. I just came back from the store 30 mins ago where I tried on the 25"s and HOLY HEAVENS! I couldn't get online (better colour choice) and buy these fast enough. Asics Kayano's are back and I couldn't be happier. THANK YOU Asics for listening to your consumer base!

Not only was I thrilled to find the new 25's come in a solid black..very hard to find, and sells out immediately, ..but the toe box is larger and now my bunion and toes have the space that I need. The cushioning seems slightly reduced but still remains very comfortable. Thanks for listening to your users!

I'm so excited! Thank you Asics for listening to your customers concerning the need for more room in the toe box. The new 25's are amazing...there's plenty of room in the toe box, great support and cushioning! If you're considering buying these don't hestitate! I hope they come out with the Lite Show model soon and offer more color options because I'm ready to buy more! YAY Asics you got it right!

They're not quite as wide across the instep as I need. The cushioning in the bottom is BERY nice though.

Very comfortable and supportive sneakers. I had a very bad case of plantar fasciitis in both feet that required surgery to fix and now I wear these sneakers often so it does not come back. I've had numerous types of Asics sneakers and these are in my top 3 in keeping my feet from hurting again.

Go-to shoe. It is not perfect, but it is trusty. I miss the 22's with their bigger toebox. These are still great shoes, and I continue to wear them...6 years and counting.

I bought this shoe in December 2019 and got holes at both big toes within three months. I hope that Asics improves the quality of the mesh going forward. It's a shame because I love this shoe otherwise.

Out with the old and in with the new ! Thank you Asics for keeping my foot comfortable still! Had them A year and half and I only were them at work! (Walk an avg of 7k day) To bad I wore holes probably around the 8 month mark and the rubber is falling off around the year mark. The only reason I got a new pair ! Hope the the next pair can live up to the last !! [Bought the Kayano 26]
