Runs a little small. I've had many previous pairs of this shoe and this one is a bit uncomfortable. I will think twice before ordering again.

I have work Kayanos since version 16. I find version 20,21, and 25 are my favorite. This years version was a bit squared off in the front. It runs smaller and I still seems to get sore arches when jogging with these. That never happened with my others. Do not recommend these. I would suggest trying to find a series 24 or 25 that are pretty close to the old comfortable fit.

Very nice design but totally uncomfortable. I'm not sure what happened to ASICS but their tennis shoes feel more like leather flats. Had to return them :(

They run smaller than my others in this style. I like the way they look and the comfort, just runs smaller.

Your products are good but since you stopped making narrow widths you have lost a fan. This shoe is still too wide for me and I will be looking elsewhere for a better fit.

Poor quality of materials around the foot. After a few weeks of wearing they are already developing holes.

I was disappointed with the color, which looks black in the picture but is actually light gray. More importantly, the top of the shoe is pushing into the top of my foot. The base is not as cushioned as I anticipated for this top of the line shoe. I'm going to order a new pair from my previous brand.

The shows are comfortable and aypport my arch. However the material on the inside if the ankle has already worn through. I only walk in the neighborhood and am not tough on shoes. I am worried about how long the shoe will hold up and worried my big toe will soon pop through.. which happened on another pair od Asics. It maybe by last pair of asics. Which will be sad because i have had at least a dozen pair.

i've not even run a 100 miles in this pair and its tearing at the laces! are you kidding? these will be destroyed by 300? If i'm going to pay so much for a shoe, at least have it last a bit!

These were really comfortable on my arch and great for my plantar fasciitis issues, but they give me HORRIBLE blisters. I went on a 5 mile walk in them and now can't even think about putting them on for a week, the blisters are so bad.

I was looking for a more substantial, thicker sole under the toe. This is ok, but not as good as previous 2000-6 shoe. The heel and arch support are good. Also it's too wide. Unfortunately Asics seems to have abandoned the narrow shoe manufacturing - much to my dismay.

The shoe is so comfortable! However, I have only work for less than a month and it is already coming undone. Disappointing since these were not cheap shoes.

Bought these to replace an older pair Kayanos and wow, the fit on these is totally different although I ordered the exact same size. Really narrow fit - could barely get the laces tied. I wore them a few times thinking I would break them in but sadly they are just not comfortable like the old ones, and even more sadly I cannot return them now :(

There is some kind of support under the back arch of the foot which is hard and high -- this model of the GK doesn't work for me
Super uncomfortable

Asics has continued to make their shoes narrow. I've been wearing kayanos for years .They used to last & fit a whole lot better in past years. I understand the industry wants to make money. But some of us spend more money on shoes .....that only last 250 miles . These are going back... still trying to decide what to do. My toes are swished in these shoes. You can't find wide anywhere... because everyone else is having the same issue.

I'm only rating a 3 because they run small. I always get a 7.5 and this pair my toes can feel the shoe. Otherwise I love them.

I had to return them, they hurt my feet. My foot needs Underpronation, these were overpronation.
I'm looking for the closest shoe to the now discontinued Quantum 360 Shift, I have ball of foot pain if I don't have enough padding. I need them for 8 hour on my feet constantly walking.

They looks real nice, but one of the soles had a crease so I can barely wear them because it is uncomfortable, so sadly wore them only 2 times. If soles were good than they would be a 5 star no doubt, but paid too much for uncomfort brings it down in the middle.

I bought these because I read they were good for flat feet but they're quite uncomfortable. The tops of the shoes dig into my feet as I run.
