Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 25

This was a beautiful shoe, but did not feel correctly sized. I purchased due to reading these shoes were good for insertional achilles tendonitis but they did not work for me. I could not stand to scrape them across my left achilles tendon so I had to send them back. Even the right show felt small. Definitely did not feel like a wide shoe.

Very disappointed in the Gel-Kayano 25...much too wide. I have a narrow foot and the old cut worked for me. I'm sorry to say I won't be ordering from Asics anymore.

These shoes fit and they do have a bit more toe room. But not as much as my favorite old Asics. There is arch support, but not as much as I thought they would have from reading other reviews. They also don't have enough cushion for me and that was the biggest problem. I had back surgery several years ago and need a really good shoe to walk in. These just don't have enough bounce. I was very sad to have to return them.

Have worn the Kayano 24 shoes for walking and running for a few years. This new version has a wider toe box, which is fine, but much less arch support, making running uncomfortable. Expensive for a shoe that can't be used for exercise.

I have ordered many pairs of Asics throughout the years and have been happy with them in the past.Long Gone are the days of finding a great quality product for a reasonable price!!!!When I opened the box it looked as if I had ordered a pair of clearance shoes from Walmart......cheap...cheap....Cheap!All the way around,even the shoe laces!The fit to wide for the med.width,No arch support,Not enough cushion!Notttt impressed!Cheap Crap!

I was hoping that Asics would finally come up with a good match for the Kayano 22 but no. The toe box is still tight and does not have the same support. why they had to change the initial design is beyond me.

I've been wearing the Asics Gel-Kayano for about a decade. Buy them every 6 months. I bought the 25 in a different color, and they felt great. I ordered the grey pair to arrive right before flying to Europe. Unfortunately this color seems to run incredibly narrow---so much so that they're unwearable....perhaps it was this particular pair, but warning to others who generally find this shoe to be a good fit.

Possibly the nicest looking running shoes I've ever seen. However, I'm not going to buy a $50 insole to get the arch that should be included in a $119 pair of sneakers. By the way, I've so far ordered 3 different styles of ASICS sneakers and none of them have the support I used to find with ASICS sneakers. This used to be my favorite brand because some of their styles run a little narrow, which is really great for me. I'm seeing the same complaint (arch support) in many reviews across all ASICS styles so I guess the cost cutting has taken priority over quality - very short sighted on their part.

I purchased a 10.5 wide and received 10.5 wide. I never used to have to buy wide shoes but the past couple of years it seems shoe makers are making shoes really narrow. These shoes were not wide. They are narrow. I got the left shoe on just fine without socks but could not get the left shoe on. There is no way I could wear these with socks. Not even thin socks. Length was okay judging from the left shoe which was the only one I could on. Felt like a good solid supportive shoe. Really wish they weren’t so narrow. These would have been really good shoes for my over pronating.

Didn't feel like the quality of my old asics. No arch support. Materials felt and looked cheap. Returning

I have been a happy ASICS customer for many years. I was excited to receive this new shoe; immediately opened the box and threw away the packaging and waited for the weekend to wear my shoes. After a few minutest of walking in the house this shoe was not correct. Too heavy, too stiff going back.

No cushioning at all. Kayano 23 was much better.
