They are comfortable to run in. I hoped they would last longer than the shoes I normally run in because they're thicker but I've had to switch them out every 3 - 4 months.

Lightweight, gets me through my 12 Hour shift without pain. I didn't expect them to be SO lightweight.

I loved everything about these shoes and really wish they were still available to purchase b/c I struggle to find ones I like better.

These are very comfy. Good arch support. True to size. Helps with my plantar fasciitis. Has a little bounce in the step.

I have worn the asic kayano through the 27 version and was loyal to asics because of their great fit in the heels. Street shoe size is 7.5 and asics kayano was 8. After reading reviews for the Kinsei, I choose 8.5 and it’s perfect. They were comfortable without a break in. I hope Zappos continues to carry and offers more colors.

Love these shoes. Been buying Brooks for years, and I wanted to try something different. The only con of these is that they don't come in better / more color options. Would buy again, even without having a color option I love

I've been running in Asics shoes for many years, and this was my first purchase in the Gel-Kinsei Blast model - LOVE them! They are so comfortable right out of the box, fit is great, and feel very supportive with max cushioning, which is exactly what I was looking for. I've had fit issues with my previous favorites; Kayano's and Nimbus over the past several years, so really happy I tried this model!

Decided to switch it up from Brooks and these are by far the most comfortable shoes I've purchased in years. I just wish they would come in better colors!

This shoe fits snugly in the heel and through the middle of the foot -- but is still sufficiently roomy in the toe. Perfect for me, as my foot is narrower at the heel. Also, this shoe is wonderfully cushy, particularly in the heel area!

These are awesome- just bought a second pair to put on shelf. ASICS changes their styles and what I love most about these are the pull tab in the back/high rise in back of sneaker. #runner #ironman

I’m a runner and these are the best shoes I have ever owned. I always go back to ASICS as I have a narrow foot with high arch. Truly amazing!!

Great running shoe. I love ASICS over all, I have 7 different brands and 12 different styles of running shoes and ASICS are my go to . Great quality, these we’re the most $ I have ever paid for a running shoe but used a Zappos coupon, so worth it.
I'd also recommend:
I also love ASICS Magic speed-big arch support , I also wear OC’s, Saucony, Brooks, new Bal, etc

Very comfortable and nice colors, I received many compliments from my coworkers, in others models I used to break the thong side but this ones have a higher space on that area.

I had forgotten about 2 pairs of Kinsei 3 I had tucked away to preserve and treasure from years ago. Found them after moving and have been heavenly wearing them ever since. I ordered these and they are even better looking but same reliable arch support, stability, and comfort! My daughter has been stealing them so I'm ordering a surprise pair for her. I can't recommend them enough! i have fallen arches, weak ankles, and bad knees from teaching aerobics and over exercising yet I feel young and springy in Asics Kinsei's! I wish I could buy in every color. Recommend 1/2 size up and they are a tad narrow in the baby toe area. Can be in them all day long!

I work in hospital medicine and love asics for how they fit my feet (wider toe box, narrow heel), but also bc they offer discounts for HCWs and these shoes are amazing for those of us on our feet for 12 hour straight. They are high quality as all ASICS are- I always wear out the cushioning before the shoes appear worn. I rotate between pairs so I am never wearing the same pair two days in a row. I bought two pairs of these Kinsei Blast to have in rotation and will buy more. They have great cushion without packing down, and without having too significant of a "rocker" feel that I didn't care for in other high-cushion shoes.
