Beautiful shoe! Iridescent black logo on the black/silver looked so pretty but strong. I wanted to love these but the toe box was a bit small. The padding felt good, just wished the toe box was roomier.

Good fit, good quality. Could use a bit more cushioning. Runs narrow, but that's a plus for my narrow foot.

when i initially put theses shoes they were very snug, but after wearing them twice and breaking them in they fit great, so give it some time if they feel a little snug. I had stopped jogging because of hip pain due to my old shoes, but I was able to jog pain free with these shoes!

I really enjoy these shoes, but they are smaller than my previous Asics shoes (GEL Kayano 25), so be careful when selecting your size. For a stability shoe, they feel light, fast and I have had no injuries so far, besides blisters. My foot arch feels very comfortable. I usually strike mid to front foot and the balls of my feet feel comfortable doing so in this shoe. So far I have run 45km in them. They are also cute enough that I plan to retire them to walking shoes once I've worn them out from running.

The toe box of this shoe is very narrow, even though I ordered a Wide. I am returning it.

I like these shoes. The only thing is the toe area isn't reinforced which is eventually a problem for me. My big piggy will poke out the top soon lol.

Asics seem to be shoes that work well for me. I tried a few others from local shoe stores but came back to try the Asics Kayano and they work well. Good support, stability and cushioning - all things I need to keep walking.

A definite improvement from my 3 year old clod hoppers I was running in. I was on a zero drop heel and was experiencing knee pain. The 13mm on this shoe was a welcome improvement. I've increased my minute mile by a few seconds, I believe because of the rebound. My feet must be 2 different sizes, the left shoe makes my big toe go numb.

These were super cute, and I'm sad they didn't work out. Unfortunately, they seemed super stiff, and I wasn't sure that they would soften up with use. I was training for a 10K and now a half marathon, and I just wasn't willing to risk it. It's too bad, because I really like these!

These are amazing walking and running shoes for over pronators. This model, however, has a design flaw. After just a couple of weeks, the inside fabric around the edge of the ankle started falling apart. Zappos, thankfully, replaced them, and the new pair is wearing just fine. Go up 1/2 a size on these. I wear a 6.5 and bought a 7.

Have been running in Kayano's for over 10 years. Good shoes. Normally buy size 8 women, but this pair runs bigger. I thought I bought a wrong size first. I compared the length w other Kayano's and these are a little longer.

I love the shoe and the bright navy color. Some navies are almost black in color. The arch is a bit high for my flat foot but getting adjusted to it.
That is a problem for me in most shoes, even those with almost no arch present.

I really like ASICS. It must just be the particular shoes I received. The way it’s fixed to the sole on my right toe is pinching the fabric over the top of my big toe causing it to rub and be uncomfortable unless I have thick socks on. I had the same shoe in gray with pink accents before and didn’t have this issue but those the ASICS logo started to peel off. Not sure what’s up but the rest of the shoe is great. I walk 3-5 miles a day in them and don’t get shin splints or tendon issues like I used to. But quality is in question.

I bought these in black because I loved my gray ones that I already have. However, these seem to fit tighter across the top than my last pair, and are not comfortable to wear all day long.

Bought my second pair of these shoes and the sizing is inconsistent, even in the same model. I bought my first pair in the store in the pink, black and green colors a couple months ago. I ordered the same size online in the all back and the fit is off. I needed all black shoes for an event so I didn't have option to return, but from now I will buy in store.

I bought these shoes for nursing school clinicals. They are pretty comfortable but I prefer the Nimbus over the Kayano. They are very nice looking shoes.

After putting my arch support in these they have been the best shoe. I walk 4-5 miles a day in them on treadmill or outside and they've been great feet don't hurt!! I normally wear a regular width but the wide with in these made all the difference.

I love that these shoes have the duomax extra ache support. It is the only shoe i can wear without an extra insole. I would have given 5 stars but the cost is a little higher than i would like.

I have worn ASICS for years, get a new pair every year. I am a walker, but I think this shoe is for runners. It is wide and feels sloppy, not a good word. I had a pair of Gel-Kayans before and should have remembered. I also ordered on line, which I should not do.

I've been wearing Asics in the same size and width for years but for some reason they have been running wide in the front. Maybe a design change? Still love the shoe but may need to branch out.
