I have been wearing Gel-Kayanos for many years. This model 31 is horrid. The shoe is massive. The 29 was perfection.

I have over pronation and was told that I needed stability shoes. I wanted to try out ASICS because I like their mission statement and core values. However, I wish they had more lenient return policies like other companies because theres no way for me to tell whether the shoes will fit me right or not until I have actually run or walked in them. These shoes feel good if I walk slowly but if I try to speed walk or run, I feel a lot of pain in my soles. Unfortunately, they wouldnt take them back so Im stuck with these and they were very pricey. The shoes look and feel are good. Quality seems okay although its too early to tell how well theyll hold up

I have been looking for workout shoes that can handle my obese size. Normally I destroy shoes after a few times wearing them, and they hurt my feet. Totally counterproductive since I'm trying to exercise and lose weight. These have held up to daily 30 minute aerobic sessions with no sign of giving out. Before trying these shoes I was almost crippled with pain on my feet. I was afraid I would lose the ability to walk, and this gave me the push I needed to try better shoes. I highly recommend these shoes, especially if you have wide feet, or if exercise gives you pain. I was also surprised how other aches and pains improved with these shoes, such as my back and knees. I have hope now, thank you.

I had a horrible experience with these shoes and ASICS as a whole. Wore them once, experienced severe pain due to a defect on one shoe and the company is refusing to exchange for a pair of shoes (or even just one shoe) without the defect. I told customer service that the defect can be felt on the shoe and is unlikely to be seen very well on a photo. They are refusing to take this into consideration. We were told twice that we would be receiving a call from management, which we never did. Extremely unprofessional, I will not ever recommend a pair of ASICS due to their lack of professionalism, decency, and poor customer service.

The shoes are so comfortable, but I had to go up 1/2 a size for the length. Unfortunately the shoe was too wide and my foot didn't stay in place when I went up in size.

The orange was pretty vivid and kind of a sick shade. And they were too small. I wear a six in almost any shoe, but always a 6 ½ in sneakers, including GTS. But this time, I need a 7. I don’t get why they’d do that. Sizing should be consistent.

I size up 1/2 from my normal size. The heel fit is stable and a little tight which is exactly what I need for hip pain. The toe box is roomy. The gel feels amazing as I walk or run. Really recommend.

I am impartial to Asics' Kayanos. I love the comfort and longevity. I wear mine for everyday use and to walk on a treadmill.
I do wish Asics would return to the old style and not have a chunky sole; no need to try to look like Hoka's or ON's....be yourself Asics!

I generally wear an 8 or 8.5 (EU 39) in casual shoes or sandals. The 9s of these fit me well. The toe box is reasonably wide, but my heels do not slip (like they do with Altra's original footshape). This is my first time trying ASICS so I cannot compare to previous models.

Love these shoes!! The colors are super cute, perfect for spring and summer. ASICS have been the best shoes for me for comfort and fit whether running or walking. I’ve been wearing GEL Kayanos for the last two years. The model changes slightly every release but they are still my top running and long distance walking shoe (think Disneyland, NYC, etc). I alternate wearing with another brand that I’ve been using for running for 20+ years but these are now my favorite. The colors weren’t great in the past but I really like my newest pair!

I purchased these for my daughter. We loved the shoe, but the toe box was too wide for her.

I gave this a five star rating because I loved the shoe but it was too wide for my feet. I dearly wish Zappos would make size 13s in a narrow width. There really are tall women with narrow feet!
