I really like the support I am feeling with my new shoes. I have worn this same brand for years, as they seem to fit my feet and running the best. Totally enjoy them and I like the higher bottom sole.

What a heavenly ride. They actually make running more fun. These feel like my old Gel Kayano-18's which I loved. I was disappointed by later models (and their hideous colors and designs). These are the Gel Kayano's I fell in love with. In clean simple colors. Note to makers of women's athletic gear: Not all women like purple, pink and turquoise!

They are a lite shoe and comfortable. I like the way the look too.

These shoes are amazing. Very support for flat feet and ankle area. No issues so far for long runs (6 miles max so far). The lacing near the top where you tie need to be looser, just have to adjust it. Love the colors.

I'm on my (flat) feet all day, as I work at a Medical imaging facility, and I couldn't be more pleased with the comfort at the end of the day! The cushion in the heel is amazing!! I've been using Kayanos for at least 6 years and I have no plans on going elsewhere for comfort!

Easily my favorite shoe. I wore in races, mini triathlons and running. Now, I put miles daily into walking! Great for over pronation from decades of soccer!

Great fit. Sized up .5 since it’s for running and it saves my toes! Love that these finally come in neutral colors.

Feels like I'm running on a cloud. The thick soles provide a lot of support for my knees, love them

Great support, very comfortable and light weight. Love them and highly recommend especially for anyone like me who pronates and has knee problems. Only caution is that they run small so order a half of a size bigger than what is recommended.

Very comfortable! I can stand in them for hours and my feet don't ache! Didn't take much to break them in either.

These shoes are extremely supportive and comfortable! The back heel is designed so that it never folds under when putting the shoe on and doesn't dig into the back of your ankle! They also are very good looking, love them!

The Asics Gel-Kayano are my Favorite. They are very Comfortable and good looking. My only Complaint complaint is, Some of the colors aren't that great.

Very comfortable. No break in time needed. Material is
perfect, neither too thin or
too thick. I use these for walking. Light weight not
heavy....but very good construction. I like the bold
pink and blue and reflectors.
I am 69 and find these keep
my foot from pronating.
I have always worn an 11 medium in ASICS. But....I
Think the ones I had were
at least 6 years old. I tried
3 pairs in size 11 by ASICS.
All to short and too narrow.
I have a narrow foot. I tried
11.5 next in this style. Still to
short. Finally my 5th pair fit.
Size 12 medium was perfect!
Very comfortable and supportive for my foot. I have a high arch and I probably could use an arch
support, but they honestly
feel good without one.

This is my second pair of these I really like them I ordered again because I know they will fit . First time I ordered them I ordered a 10 but sent back for 10 1/2 and than they fit great. Other ASICS I have worn a 10 so not sure why but I like them

Really love the vibrant colors of this shoe! I also feel Asics took the feedback from customers and made their shoes wider as I didn't need to break these in as I have had to with previous versions. This gym shoe makes long distance running a breeze.

I am a long time ASICS customer and this is my first time purchasing the Gel-Kayano. I love the arch support and the heel cushioning. It is a great walking shoe for someone over 60 who has had a partial knee replacement. Wonderful shoe!

Really comfortable. I have had 4 pair of Gel-Nimbus (obviously I loved them) but tried these because I preferred the looks better. They are a bit firmer but also more supportive and cushiony at the same time, go figure. At first I thought they ran a half size small but I wore them for a few hours and my feet settled in. My only complaint is that the picture of the Metropolis/Rose Gold is VERY misleading. The shoe is LIGHT grey with peach and purple coloring. No rose gold.

I have a narrow foot, high arch, and for years have worn the Gel Kayano with great satisfaction for power walking. The only version that wasn't good for my foot was the model that was harder and didn't give- don't remember the model number.
This model is back to offering a giving support all around, with flexibility, and I'm pleased. Hope this continues! If so, this will be my go to exercise trainer.
Happy A,

Comfort and support and reliable!
I buy a pair for spring/summer and one for fall/winter. It's fun to switch colors and also maintain a good level of support. I do at least 5 miles a day.
