I have flat feet, and was having bad ankle pain, quadriceps tightening and knee pain. I kept running using them and the pain still went away. They're super comfy, I have skinny feet and they fit perfect. I just love them!

I have been wearing the Gel Nimbus line for years and decided to pick up a pair of these in addition & have been pleasantly surprised. Compared to the nimbus, these seem much softer around my feet but similar in weight. I am 4 weeks postpartum and plan to use both pairs as I pick back up in mileage. The support is good and my feet feel less achy than before - a miracle in those last weeks of pregnancy and first few after baby. I would recommend!

I switched to the Asics Gel-Kayano shoes a few years back and I've been so happy with my decision. Before switching I tried many other brands and models, but Ascics' Gel-Kayano offered me the most heel cushion and arch support for my pronation. This is my 4th pair of Gel-Kayano shoes and the latest model I purchased is the Gel-Kayano 28.
Size - I would recommend buying a half size larger. I'm a size 7.5 but I've always bought a size 8 in Gel-Kayano because they offer me enough toe space.
Width - I have semi-wide feet, so I tried their regular and wide models. I ended up purchasing the regular fit because the wide was too loose for my feet.
Color - I usually buy the black-on-black Gel-Kayano. This time I purchased the Blazing Coral/Mist Gel-Kayano and WOW, the color in person is MUCH more vibrant than it shows online. But I ended up keeping them for a change.
Overall - I absolutely LOVE my Gel-Kayano 28 shoes. I mostly run with them on trails, but have also run with them on asphalt and concrete. They offer great heel cushion and arch support.

I don't think I could fine a more comfortable pair of shoes. I got these for work since I'm in the medical field and literally on my feet all day. Before I found these gems I'd go home tired and aching.

Lighter, cushier, better toe box than the 27. Great traction. Feels spring-loaded. How do these shoes keep getting better???

These are amazing. Everyone should buy these. The color is just as expected. The comfort is better than I thought.

This shoe fits my feet perfectly. Love the color. The sole is not as flared which I like.

Way too tight and I'm a narrow. Also felt clunky to walk in.
Assics are great and I'll try another size.

Can't tell you how many asics I have purchased and each one is as good as the last - did 6 miles straight out of the box. These are just the shoe for me. I tried the Hoka and have an issue with the huge back heel. I cannot work out in them b/c they do not balance you correctly (if you are lifting weights and need to balance, for example) and I do not want to switch shoes for this. I wear the asics for all of my workouts - walking, hiking, eliptical, weight lifting and HIIT workouts and just decided to stop trying other shoes when these always hit the mark.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstocks

I wear size 9 narrow, and these shoes fit perfectly. I like the quality of ASICS. After breaking my right foot and ankle two years ago, I need a very supportive shoe, and my ASICS running shoes provide that support.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks, New Balance, and SAS

I love these new Asics! The toe box is wide enough for my foot and the heel cup grips my foot. I often wear a 8-8 1/2, but I always order a 9 in this shoe.

Fit and feel great. The best sneakers for my flat feet and bad ankle. I wish there were better/more fashion-forward colors.

My wife loves them as always. Making it difficult for me to want to leave a review. Six words were enough. Just be happy it's a good review. Next time I probably won't review.

So far, I love these shoes. I bought them for pickle ball on an outdoor court and they have great ankle support which I was looking for. My feet did not get hot at all which was an added bonus.

I have worn Kayano's for 20 years. Love the new 28's but they are narrower and a little shorter. Order a 1/2 size larger. I usually wear an 11. Had to return and and order 11.5.
