We have worn Asics for years. Our first pair on both my husbands and mine wore a hole in the toe in 4 mo. That had never happened to us before. We went to the store and they said we had to contact Asics which we did. We had to take pics and show our receipt and they replaced both pairs for free. On our next pair and on my new ones my husband put gorilla duct tape inside at the toe and we had no problems. I see the new 27 has more solid piece at the toe so I suspect we were not the only ones who had this. My podiatrist loves these shoes also and I wear orthotics in them. They really are great for overpronators like me and even neutral like my husband.

We are sold on Asics.

I got the all-white ones and immediately got them dirty (of course) and they are very easy to clean and very comfortable!

After ordering and returning 3 different shoes from 3 different companies I was finally able to find these! Yea! Not only is the fit great, the shoe is comfortable, and best of all, they're in a color that an old lady feels good about wearing. Please, Asics, calm down your color choices! This lovely "haze and white" is perfect.

This is the first time I have tried asics. These are one of the best sneakers I have ever owned. I'm a nurse and I'm on my feet for 12-16 hours a day. I'm recently recovering from an ankle injury and my Orthopedic Doctor recommended these shoes to me for the best ankle and foot support. I will definitely be buying more in the future.

Wow. I am not sure if I am just used to wearing tennis shoes, which are heavier bulkier, or what but as soon as I put these shoes on, I was like wow... They are soooooooooo comfortable! Anyways, I hope they are just as good when I go do my Orange Theory workout lol. And thanks for Zappos, as usual, getting these to me next day-awesome.

These fit great! Strong support, preventing pronation and provide such comfort for standing on my feet all day.

I got these a half size larger based on how the 26's ran, but they are true to size just like the 25's & 24's and all the other years. Had to return and get my normal size.

These are so comfortable. Perfect for foot and back pain. Each step feels like you're walking on clouds.

Fits wide foot, with fallen arches, and over pronation. Not all Asics are created equal. I've worn the brand for years as my feet has changed shape and the bones remodeled. Of all the wide width, sneakers for over pronation this model fit me best. It allows for a wide food, but isn't squeezing the foot bed for dear life. There is enough space left at the toe for comfort without being so big that my heel slips out of the sneaker. They're light weight, and wear well.

My favorite running shoe! They always feel good no matter how far I run. They're very stable and last for at least 300 miles.

I have been running in this model for years. Every year it is changed, but the fit remains constant! Excellent shoes! I wish there were more colors to choose from though

This is quite possibly my 20th pair of gel-kayano. They fit right out of the box, 5 miles. (I walk, not run). No problems ever. My size in most shoes is an 8 but I buy and 8.5 in these b/c I put an arch support in (I have super high arches and do this in most of my shoes).

The Gel Kayanos feel great from the start. They are perfect for my daily 3-4 mile walks & give my fussy feet just the right amount of support.

I've been wearing Asics for years and these are by far the best I've ever worn. Amazing support! I wear them to run and also other workouts that have lateral movement. Love the wide sole and how light they are. Going to order another pair!

I pronate because of low arches and was really having a problem with foot pain on long walks. After researching, these were recommended for runners that needed arch support. They are very comfortable and no foot pain anymore! I’m not in no love with the color choices, but that’s very minor if comfort is the trade off. I’m hoping they last longer than another brand I loved. It didn’t last.

Very comfortable. Designed very well. I can run faster in Gel-Kayano sneakers.
