Fit is perfect. More cushion throughout the footbed as compared to previous version of this model, which adds so much comfort. Lots more reflective material, too, increasing safety. Strongly recommend!

These shoes are very comfortable, but don't have the same structure and support offered by the Gel 2000 shoes I had previously. I couldn't find them in my size any longer.
(I wear size 9N or 2A) and prefer a stiffer shoe.

I have tried numerous athletic shoes... just for walking. I have returned most of them. This is the first shoe that had everything I wanted: plenty of toe room, spongey, moderate support, comfortable after wearing for 8 hours, and attractive (the light grey).

Only sneakers I buy! I'm a PE teacher and on my feet all day. First sneaker that I have not needed an orthotic. Been wearing these exclusively for over 5 years. Now, my mom, neighbor and a few colleagues wear them. I'm always spreading the word. When your feet feel good, you feel good.

Great style, support and cushion! Kayanos are my favorite running shoe ever! I have tried other brands but always come back to these! Very comfortable for long runs!

Perfect fit - I wear a narrow and they are hard to find. These fit great !!! I am normally a 10 and I go up a half size in athletic shoes.

Excellent shoe- I did noticed it changed a little from Kayano 27 with the bottom plastic piece, but has not changed the quality of the shoe. Still my favorite running shoe!!! Typically run 12mi weekly. Great stability!

I like these a lot an improvement from the prior years but ASICS will change the shoe and the next model may not be as good. As with all these running shoes they can’t leave well enough alone and end up screwing up the shoe like Brooks. ASICS was the only running shoe I wore for years but they started making changes and I stopped buying their shoes, the same with brooks the Ghost 12 was perfect and they started with making the tongue so long it hit my ankle causing me to end up getting an MRI because of ankle pain and the stiff logos that rub the top side of my foot. These companies need to listen to the consumer but they probably don’t really care it’s always about $$$..

The new design is so comfortable - I feel a big difference from the 27. Very cushy yet stable.

Lightweight and comfortable for a 5 mile walk right out of the box. Asics are my 'go-to' shoe for walking and jogging.

I stopped wearing the Gel-Kayan’s but after taking a bad fall and having chronic pain in my ankle, legs and knees the GT-2000’s were no longer working for me. I had been wearing Brooks but after the Ghost 12 they started making the tongue so long it was hitting my ankle to where I went in for an MRI but all that showed was where I had a plate and 13 screws so the shoes had to go. I absolutely love these Gel-Kanyano’s I ordered a couple of pairs and will probably order more just to have them I forgot how great a good fitting running shoe feels. These shoes for me are the best I’ve had in years, anyone that’s shattered an ankle knows what I’m saying I don’t wear my shoes more then 6 months so I need to have backup.
Thanks to Zappos and their great customer service and return policy, I only buy my shoes from them and have been a loyal customer for quite some time.

They fit well. They're comfortable while giving me support. Roomy enough to use inserts if needed. I always order half size up. The color is nice. But I would really welcome better color selection.

I did a lot of research before going with ASICS and this particular style. I work in the medical field and am on my feet and walk a ton during my day. My back and my hips were starting to bother me really badly and some coworkers had recommended this brand. They are a bit pricey, but are COMPLETELY worth every penny!! Now I can't say they have taken my pain totally away but they help so much! So do your body a favor and get a pair of these for yourself! My only complaint would be is that I wish they had replacement shoe strings that matched the particular shoe you buy. My new kitten loves the bright blue color of mine and has chewed on them. The blue is hard to match and I love the matching blue shoe strings that came with the shoe.

Love these. So comfortable and so pink! I get so many compliments and they're the best quality. I do eight miles a day so the quality is crucial.

These are the most comfortable shoes I've had in a very long time! I'm a healthcare worker and on my feet a good part of the day. No more tired achy feet at the end of a long day.

I usually wear an 8. I wear an 8 1/2 in Asicis. I have a narrow foot and this is the only brand that works for me. Wish they would give us more variety in colors and styles.
