My husband needs support and cushioning to help relieve knee pain and he could not be more thrilled with these sneakers. I have the same sneaker that I swear by for arch support and dealing with plantar fasciitis. Best sneaker out there and worth every penny

I was looking for a pair of shoes with support and comfort because my heels had been bothering me recently after only wearing slip-ons for the past few years. These shoes have delivered both in spades. My feet don't hurt at all while I'm wearing them and I can wear them all day without them bothering me. My only small complaint is that they're slightly heavier than most running shoes but that's to be expected since they use a lot of gel in them.

Perfect support and all around walking/running shoe. Extremely comfortable. I've tried many running shoes and these are the best!

Bought a pair of these three weeks ago. They felt a bit awkward at first but, I thought maybe they would break in. Not so. I know have to force myself to use them because of how much I spent for them. I regret every cent spent on them. I swear it feels like I have absolutely NO cushion under my heels or the balls of my feet. Totally unacceptable. The GT-1000's and GT-2000's were a much better shoe (or at least when they were made). I'm guessing Asics has had to make changes as to how they are manufacturing shoes due to supply chain issues.

Had such a hard time finding a good shoe that gives me the support I need for plantar Fasciitis. These are the only shoes that have done the trick. On my third pair of Asics and as long as they work, will continue to buy these shoes.

Have been running and now walking in ASICS Kayano shoes for over 30 years now, have to be the best shoes for running I've ever owned!

Absolutely in love with them. I used to have pain in hamstring after run. After wearing these issue magically disappeared.

Great purchase! I bought these for work (I'm an RN and I walk a lot throughout the day). They are comfortable and supportive. I'd love a second pair for when I start running consistently.

I've been wearing these shoes for many, many years. They are still a good hose, but the quality or type of material they are made with seems to have gone downhill. They are not as durable and solid of shoe as they once were. Seems they won't last as long and don't provide quite the support as in years past. The tread is not as thick as it once was either so they wear out quicker.

Stated 3-7 days for delivery and it took about 17 days for my shoes to show up. Shoes are great the shipping and customer service were bad

I have run in gel-kayanos for years. This version is as good as all the rest. I am a true believer.

The shoe was beautiful. But with my flat feet, they were unbearable. I even used the insoles that I have for all my shoes; they work great in all my other shoes, especially Nike. Even with special insoles, I couldn't stand out walk long in the ASICS. I tried them a few times before giving up.

Great shoes; my third pair for street and park running. I find the arch support isn't as firm as I'd like so I add my own insoles, but otherwise this is a good, supportive, comfortable, and durable shoe.

I love the way they feel, I have been wearing the Gel Kayano's for the past 13 years. They are comfortable running in, light weight. New pair once a year.

My 13 year old grandson loves these sneakers. After he put these one, he didn't even want to try on the second pair I bought him. Comfortable and stylish.

fit and size are accurate. Heel collar breaks down easily ! I have worn this model for over 20 years. The pair bought in December had the heel collar break down. I was certain Asics would stand behind their imagined great product, NO !!! they tell me it is my fault, I must be putting them on and taking them off without loosening the laces ! This is 100% speculative and worse FALSE !!!! How dare they. This collar is failing as none before. BTW I am 57 and baby my new items. This pair of sneakers had great care and I always loosen the laces to take off and they are loose to put on. Shocking , belt betrayed by so called customer service ! Lame !!!

I like this one better than the 27. Mind that I had to return the 1st pair (2E), because it was narrower than the usual and order the 4E version, but all is good since!
