These shoes are very comfortable and high quality. The only problem I had was the width of the shoe because I need a narrow width which wasn't available.

Wore once, got horrible blisters so I tried to return them but they said I wasnt able to. So now Im out $120+ and a pair of running shoes that I cant wear. With running shoes sometimes you dont know if theyll work until you run in them but if you run in them you cant return them.

I was used to running in shoes that gave more of a ground feel, so the change to these Kayano's was different, but so welcome! Zero break-in time and these shoes make me WANT to run (which is new for me). Easiest the most comfortable new running shoe I've had in a while.

This is the worst update to a shoe ever. Ive been wearing the Gel Kayano for 5 years and used to love them for my narrow foot. These are wide, clunky and not at all what I used to love about this shoe. I had blisters on both of my heels. Time to find a new brand unless ASICS goes back to how they used to fit.

I am bummed as I was really looking forward to wearing a good fitting shoe. These shoes came highly recommended but unfortunately fit way too tight for me. Which is odd because I have narrow feet. They also make my feet burn. Now that I have worn them I doubt I can return them. And I don't know anyone who wears a size 13 shoe. So bummed.

Im happy that Asic makes a running shoe with a bigger toe box. It helps with older feet as well as preventing issues in the future. Please continue this brand thank you

I am happily surprised at the amount of support in these shoes. I like that the ties don't easily come undone (!!!), important for runners. I did notice yesterday on the first day we had rain since I bought them that they were slippery towards the toe area. But it didn't bother when running on asphalt, I just wonder how'd they be on a smoother surface when just walking, like tile. And as always, the Gel-Kayano fit my feet very, very well. Otherwise, super pleased with these puppies!!

I love my shoes! I use them for road runs (slow and easy) great support for my low arches. Feels a lot like my Brooks Glycerin 20 but more cushion and my feet feel more secured.

Really cushy and comfortable with lateral support. I keep buying the Kayano series and so far this is my favorite

I've been wearing this shoe for years. Very comfortable and light with a spacey toe room.

I like the colors and cushioning but they run small. The sole is almost too thick. Im a nurse a dont use for running. Ive been wearing this style for years but this is not comfortable.

ASICS should have an exchange policy without charging the shipping as most companies do. I needed to exchange for a wide shoe with the recommendation to increase in one size even though I am a 8.5w I was told to go with a 9w to support my toe box. Still not really enough arch support but the shoe in general greatly helps my bone spur in heel.

It is not the same show from the past. If I wanted Hokas, I would have kept those shoes. I like neither pair. The sole of the shoes is too much. I miss the actual gel. I bought another shoe that was an older style. Dont know what Ill do when those are all gone.

This pair was a replacement for an earlier version of this shoe. I dislike the height of the soul on this shoe, it feels unstable and pushes me forward.

Gel Kayanos are my favorite shoe. They fit my feet perfectly right out of the box. No need to "wear out." They also accommodate my custom orthotics easily.

My only complaint with these is how heavy they are I felt myself having to really pick up my feet. I did a walk and run in them. They are super comfortable and my feet dont get hot in these.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
It would seem that the Gel has gotten more narrow in the toe box. Everything feels smaller. The width beyond the big toe bone is tight. I'm keeping them, but going to try Brooks for running. I have a wide foot and Asics have always been great. Bought Brooks for walking... Disappointed.....
Of course, wide width has crappy selections, as always !!!
I'd also recommend:
BROOKS

Ive always had Gel Kayano for running without problems. These are comfortable and great for short easy runs but have left my toes feeling a little sore when I run longer distances. Not sure if the toe box is smaller on this model.
