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.

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 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.

Really comfortable. Great arch support. Help with discomfort I sometimes get in my knees when running.

So glad that with the half size larger (unable to find “wide”) sneaker my feet did not get numb so far. Only problem was the WAY TOO SHORT laces. I had to transpose laces even from ones I had worn prior to the 2015 gel-kayano 22’s to those sneakers and now to these current ones. (Evidently, I don’t change sneakers very frequently...). For some reason extremely SHORT sneaker laces have been trending for a while and it puzzles me.
I'd also recommend:
I’ve been an ASICS gel-Kayano fan for 15-20 years now.

4.5 star, love the color, feel and comfort. It's a well made shoes. I am a nurse and my feet felt pretty good all night a 12 hours shift. The reason I didn't give 5 stars because when I purchase it didn't come in wide. It still felt fine though.

Great shoes. They are a bit narrow, particularly after owning the Gel-Kayano 26 which had a lot of space. Very solid!

Excellent as always from a performance and looks point of view. I had a reconstructed ACL, having run marathons before in my Kayanos. Getting back into jogging was uncomfortable with my other non-aasics runners but these let me go the distance with a good bit more stabilisation and cushioning. My only knock on these are that 2 artificial creases are created in the fabric of the toe box which fold in on my toes when I walk and look odd, but don't bother me when I run. I have worn the same size for years so it is not a sizing issue for me, probably just a slight flaw in the shoe manufacture but overall, I still swear by my Aasics Kayanos. Been a fan since thee Gel Kayano 15 derivation and I always go back. Great shoe.

Have been running in this line of shoes for year and purchased in my usual size. Seems to run a little big (a little longer than usual), but still a very comfy shoe!

Very comfortable my only issue is I didn't realise they're entirely Mesh on the front of the foot. I hoped they be more water resistant and I bought them online. But very good arch support as I have fallen arches

Much improved over the Kayano 26 iteration! Great cushion and arch support both. The toe box is wide--almost too wide but very generous for custom orthotics. Color is outstanding.

Other Kayanos were less roomy. I returned because I felt it would be bigger immediately. Didn’t like material around toe box. Seemed weak.

Love these shoes. Can wear right out of the box! I'm not a fan of the new toe box design but will see if it wears as well without the leather on top of toe. Have had a few pairs and they wear well! Very supportive

Very comfortable and supportive. I have narrow feet and the medium width fits well in the heel and arch. It has nice padding for my bony feet. The toe area is very roomy and probably more than I need width wise but not a problem. Ordered half size larger than I normally wear.
