This shoe has been great for running and hiking. The cushion and support are great and I dont have pain while I run. I have had previous versions of this shoe which were good but this one is my favorite. The shoe is a bit heavy and bulky, it takes a few minutes to adjust to the feeling of it after I put them on, but this is expected for the level of support. Excellent shoe!

Trying to find a shoe to relieve severe plantar fasciitis. Have been fighting with issues for over a year. The KAYANO is helping!!

love the shoe. Just disappointed that it only comes in my size (narrow) in black. I would love more options in terms of color.

These shoes are absolutely wonderful if you have over pronation. As a varsity track and cross country runner who has been through more shoes than I can count, the ASICS have been the only shoe that has not let my down so far. I have had ankle issues far a while now and have been looking for a shoe that would at least stabilize my arch a little more than the traditional Saucony or On shoe which are still amazing running shoes, however ASICS fit the requirements for the run. 100% recommend, especially for long runs and slower paces.

Just received these shoes. They are extremely comfortable and seem to have good support. Im an average size 8, but these shoes fit like a 8.5 wide. I dont have slender feet by any means. My toes are swimming in the toe box and they are too long. If you wear an eight and a half, the 7 will fit perfectly. Too bad. It took almost two weeks to grieve them. Exchanging them will take a month, and I need them for a trip Im taking. Ill have to buy different pair and just return them.

Purchased these specifically for my long runs. I wore them to work 1 day before running 14 miles in them. No issues. Supportive and comfortable.

My shoes were so comfortable straight from the box. I was definitely in need of a new pair. I have been running in Kayanos for over 20 years. I got late in the afternoon so tomorrow morning were off and running.

The shoe was comfortable and had a great bounce. I just had to send it back due to the tag on the back of the shoe rubbing my leg with every step.

The asics website suggests trying this shoe to accommodate bunions. This is laughable advise. Shoe manufacturers should be required to provide at least a couple of options with un-tapered toe boxes. I would even say that shoe manufacturers should pay reparations to customers who were forced to use their too-narrow products due to a lack of available options. It's really a shame that asics can't provide suitable options, especially since they are conscientious about proper heel fit for women.

I liked the style and color. The shoes have a lot of support which my podiatrist recommended. But all that support made my feet hurt even when I wasn’t standing. So they’re going back.

These shoes had the same product number as my old style Asics. But, after wearing them for 2 weeks they are so uncomfortable compared to my old ones. They are exactly the same kind I thought. So, I directly contacted Asics and have found out that even though they are the exact same style they have changes the inner core gel to a lesser cushiony gel material. I am so disappointed in these since my fee hurt so much. I was hopeful. Unfortunately I have thrown the box away. I am a minimalist and do not hold onto anything very long. I am returning them without the box.
I'd also recommend:
Hoka is the best.
