These are the only sneakers I can wear due to the stability feature. They keep my foot from turning.

Great support for long runs. PR'd my 5K in these, so I have some bias towards how great they are!

I read multiple reviews and don't know why I haven't found any mention of the width going back to normal After wearing Asics gel kayanos for over a decade, they were suddenly way to wide for me. The "normal" width seems to be back (thank god), but no one has mentioned it. I love this shoe. I am in for my work as a personal trainer every day all day and as a runner. I am so happy I can wear them again!

These shoes are awesome for helping me with my plantar fasciitis. And they are also pretty cute!

Love these shoes. Provides the support I need, and has good shock absorption. I own 2 pair - one I use for outside trail running (they get dusty) and the other I use on my Peloton Tread (they stay clean!) I've used these Asics Gels for years, and will continue to do so as long as they make them!

I'm a nurse who works two 16 hour shifts in a row and love these shoes. I have a low arch so these provide the support and stability I need. I can 100% say my feet don't hurt after my shifts with these shoes!

Just ordered my second pair. Best running shoe I've worn in almost 10 years of running, period. For a while Kayano stopped working for me, for all the reasons some describe here with these - fit too short, to the point that I put a hole in the toe on one model, shoe too heavy. These are perfect for me, so I am ordering another pair for back-up.

These shoes provide great mid-sole support. They are not too stiff. My new favorite.

I only wear Gel-Kayano sneakers. I have a narrow heal, wear orthotics and have arthritis in my feet. The Kayano is perfect for my needs. They are well made and very comfortable.
It would be nice should Asics offer better color choices since I like to coordinate with my outfits. I have only bought one of the Kayano 27 and 2 of the Kayano 26. I own multiple pairs of Kayano 24 and 25 because the color choices were outstanding.

Has great control and support on pronation. Dry comfortable and stable shoe. I ordered one size larger and it feet's like it should. I keep two pairs to rotate. Fits and wears like the previous model

I am in love with these shoes! They are so comfortable for my problem feet. I have MS that has caused nerve pain & damage in my feet. It doesn't bother me in these shoes! I also have a screwed up toe fracture that never healed correctly. The toe box is wide enough to accommodate it comfortably! I don't need to go to men's shoes or order an entire size too large. I am thrilled! No idea how long these will last, but I'm happy right now! ?

I really like these shoes. Very comfortable and cushioned. My only reservation was I’m not a huge fan of the pointed upward elf style toes. It is subtle. For the price I am purchasing the ASICS Cumulus 22 instead.

I normally wear size 7 1/2 and had to go a half size up to find the right fit, which was also noted on the website when I bought them, so not a surprise. It's hard to find tennies with any kind of arch support these days so the Kayanos along with ortho inserts are the best solution that I've found. I've stayed loyal to this brand and this style for multiple years because of this. I highly recommend them.

Great looking shoe, especially for breast cancer awareness month! Comfortable and well cushioned in the heel area and toe box. On my feet for 12 plus hours a day at work and my feet never hurt. Size up 1/2 a size as Asics tend to run small.

I LOVE these shoes. They fit true to size, they’re very comfortable and they have great cushioning. I have very hard feet to fit, but these always feel great on and perform well. They’re wide enough for people with wider feet without ordering a wide size. They aren’t cheap but are definitely worth the cost.

I sustained a serious ankle injury a few months ago. This is the only shoe I have been allowed or able to wear since my recovery. Great sneaker. I recommend it highly.
