The fit was perfect. You can feel the gel and extra bounce when walking and running. I selected to try this sneaker since I have plantar fasciitis and was hoping it would help with walking. However, I had some pain on the outer edges of both feet and some minor flare up of my plantar fasciitis during the first couple of uses. It may be due to that this is considered a stability sneaker. I'm hoping that my feet will feel better after some additional uses.

I bought these to wear at the gym and they are comfortable and perfect for training. The color is kind of boring but it doesn't really matter at the gym.

I tried out 5 pairs of the Asics, and decided to keep this model. It is slightly heavier, but at 3-5 miles a couple of times a week, that doesn't matter to me as much as the stability and comfort. Just took them for the first run and they feltgreat. Love the navy/baby blue/hot pink color scheme.

The arch is great, but the toe is a little narrow. Would be perfect if offered in wide width.

Very comfortable but the bottom in the front half is wearing down really quickly

Probably my fourth or fifth pair of Gel Kayano's. I think I maybe liked a previous iteration slightly better, but these are still pretty good!

I’ve worn ASICS for years and especially like the Gel-Kayano. I usually wear a size 10 in other shoes but find I need an 11 in ASICS. I have narrow feet but the medium width is perfect for me. The colors offered are nice but I wish the designers would put a bit more protection on the toe box, at the end of the shoe.

ASICS are the only Athletic shoes I wear. But I don’t like that they changed the front of their shoes. What happened to the rubber stuff they put on the front of them. Please but it back on. Thank you

These were comfortable and fit me, but I felt like my foot would slip out of them. The gel around the top of the back heel didn’t hold my foot in place like the older versions or ASICS. I returned these and bought an older style.

These are a grear upgrade from my previous Kayano 25s (bought several times over the years!). The fit is slightly different and they seemed to slip at the back a little at first but overall they look & feel great.

So comfortable amazing shows but definitely stick to your usual size. I usually size up in ASICS and they fit perfect but these are slightly bigger so stay true to size!

Good cushioning and pronation control but still needing an extra insole to get perfect pronation control. Would have had 5 stars if I didn't need my additional insole.

Not as good as the 26. It seems to have less cushions. I've purchased the 25 and 26 and these do not compare but, they are still a good sneaker.

The footbed is well cushioned. The toe box is a bit narrower or shorter than most because my toe was touching and it doesn't normally do that. They felt tight after wearing them around the house for a while. These went back but I kept the Asics Noosa Tri 13 sneakers.

Light and comfortable, they're great work shoes. The build / finish quality isn't on par to its original price.

Good shoe but the ankles go too inward vs the 25 and the color selection is not that abundant. For my mother it is good but could ve better. Otherwise it is a good shoe if not for these two issues

I've ordered several pairs of these shoes and each year, with the new series, I've felt like the toe box was too narrow. It seemed very narrow with this pair. Wish they'd widen that back out again.

they are fine, my podiatrist suggested these for arch support but had me put in inserts for better arch support.
they are sturdy, if not sort of clunky, porous top if you happen to walk thru water. There are probably equally good
sports shoes that are less expensive if you're looking for arch support.

The material was a little more foamy inside and my feet got warm when I walked in them a while. They are very comfortable and definitely true to size

I have had several pairs of Gel Kayanos - primarily 19s and 23s but it finally reached the point where I couldn't get the older models in my size (womens UK 10/EU 44.5) so I had to get the latest ones. The fit is not as good for me - there is space down the side of my heel that wasn't there in previous models so I have to use the odd extra lace hole to stop heel slip. I always seem to have to retie the right shoe - I just can't get it tight enough first time. There is also an annoying fold/dip on either side of the toe which shows the break between 2 more rigid bits under the surface - not a functional issue but it looks odd.
They are absolutely fine for running once I get the lacing right - I just wish they were as brilliant as the 23s for look and fit.

These felt true to size. I ordered the wide width which was plenty wide but not overly so. A little wider wouldn’t have hurt. The stability it good as the transition from heel to toe while walking. I am returning them because there is not enough padding in the forefoot area and there is not enough arch support for my high arches. The arch support is moderate.
