I've lost count on how many years I have been wearing the GEL-Kayano shoes, but have loved every pair. I always get the previous year model when the new ones come out because of the cost savings, so that limits my choice of color, but color does not matter, just the feel of the shoe. These feel great, and might have a little more cushion that the previous year model, but I wear mine completely out, so when the new ones come, it does make a difference. I calculate a minimum of 1,500 miles run on each pair. My rating on arch support is based on the fact that I have to use arch support insoles on everything I wear, so without them, all shoes feel flat inside.

Heavenly. I over-pronate, have arthritic knees, and my whole spine gets out of whack if my shoes are even a little "off." These fit well, have enough stretch for my bunions, and provide support without feeling overly aggressive or screaming about what a good job they're doing. I don't have to THINK about my feet, my ankles, my knees—which is nothing short of a miracle. Have tried other shoes for over-pronators, and these are the best. Have been wearing for several months, and the support has not collapsed, edges aren't fraying, everything holding up and rolling along.

The shoes are just great! The upper material is very dense, for the summer a little hot. Otherwise, the shoes are very good for running. Feet don't hurt anymore.

I bought this in September 2022 (Size 13, Extra Wide). I have flat feet, and all my earlier shoes used to bend after wearing them for a few months. This shoe is God-level. Following a simple daily routine involving a calorie-deficit diet, sufficient water intake, and jogging, I have lost 60 lbs so far (down to 215 lbs as of writing this review). I couldn't have enjoyed my weight loss journey without this shoe. Thanks, ASICS! Here's to more running and getting slimmer and fitter.

They were nice shoes, they just didn't fit. A little narrow was all.

I purchased Kayano 29 and Nimbus 25. Each ones has their own pros and cons. However, I use Kayano much more since it provides a good combintation of stability and cushioning.

Excellent! And the heal material is not pilling or failing, which is a problem that I've had with many shoes in the past. Excellent shoes!

I average 15,000-25,000 steps a day. I put these on, and I don't think I'll buy another type ever again. These shoes are amazing. The underfoot comfortability is amazingly sublime. Every step springs into another with incredible softness. Haven't found anything comparable to these awesome kayano's. Thanks Asics!

Like walking on a cloud. I was a little skeptical because they seem so expensive. But man-oh-man, are these shoes the bomb! And think about it, they might be pricey, but cheaper than knee or ankle injury, right? You need these shoes.

These shoes are comfortable and lightweight. Like the style and color. They will be even more comfortable once they are broken in with a few runs.

I love these shoes! They are the only shoes I can get wide by Asics! I prefer a more cushioned shoe but they don’t offer those in wide so this is working for now!

Seems the toe box wasn't wide enough at 2EE. We have reordered at same size but XXWide. Hope they will fit as they seem to be terrific running shoes.

I’m typically a New Balance guy, and I will still keep them on my list. This is my first pair of ASICS and I must say, this particular model is the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn - especially in the heel. Everyone is different but for me these are easily the most comfortable, supportive shoe I’ve ever owned. Pricey but if they hold up they will be worth every penny.

The fit size is as advertised. Nice and wide for flat wide feet. Very comfortable. Have not run in them yet but looking forward to it.
