I have worn just about every brand of athletic shoes made, my current favorite are Hokas. I have flat feet, all kinds of joint issues, so comfort and support are critical. I don’t run but I walk every day so they get lots of wear and tear.
I read an article that said these Ascics were super comfortable and great for flat feet. They were on sale so I took a chance. I am so glad I did. The first time I put them on and stood up, the soft supportive insoles were unbelievable. The fit was perfect, true to size. I have a narrow heel and the shoe was snug enough to keep my foot in the shoe. Lots of toe room. The fabric over my toes is soft and flexible. It breathes so my feet never feel hot.
I’ve worn them about a week and can honestly say they are the best fitting and most comfortable athletic shoes I’ve ever worn. They feel so good and I have no foot pain at all. My knees feel the best on walks they’ve felt in a long time. I haven’t worn any other shoes since I got them. That’s how great they are.
They are the most expensive athletic shoes I’ve ever had. I would never paid full price for them but I do believe that you get what you pay for. These are well made so I expect them to last a long, long time.
I would give these 10 stars if I could. They are fabulous shoes.

These shoes are so comfortable, they are like pillows for my feet! I have been a loyal Brooks customer for years, but I bought these shoes after googling best walking shoes for high arches and these are the BEST! They are roomy, not too tight or narrow that my feet can’t breathe. They are soft, they’re not stiff like they need to be broken in, but not flimsy like they have no structure. They are cushiony, oh my goodness! I bought these for walking around the neighborhood or at parks (road, sidewalks) and just finished my first walk in them, and my feet don’t hurt!! I had never tried Asics before but now I don’t know if I will ever buy another brand. I was expecting my feet to hurt because that’s how they feel after walks in other shoes, but these just cushioned and supported my feet the whole walk without pinching. I bought a 7 regular for reference.

So, many many many shoes later….these are finally the shoes. So much cushion my aching feet are not sore anymore. I walk 3 to 5 miles per day and my feet never felt better. I am an over pronator and they have been great for that as well. The sole is thick but not heavy at all. It’s just total cushion and can be worn all day. Will buy again and again. Size is correct as I ordered 8 and it fits great.

I had to write this review, because I saw some negative reviews where people commented on receiving shoes that appeared to have been worn already. Certainly not the case here!
Shoes arrived timely and are in immaculate, brand new condition. The color (I went for that fiery red) is beautiful and powerful. Fun on a nice day and will be cheerful on a grey or foggy day!
For those new to the tech specifications of running shoes: this is ASICS’s “state of the art shoe” which has both maximum cushioning and guidance.
Maximum cushioning is important for people who are older, heavier (or very tall) or people that have had an injury or are frail. But lots of cushioning is also great for the average person who simply works out a lot on a daily or weekly basis. (Or people that enjoy a more pillowy feeling.) It can also be preventative and protect against injuries or nasty things like plantar fasciitis or help with these issues.
Guidance is needed by lots of people who either pronate (your feet tend to lean / roll towards the inside) or supinate (your feet tend to lean / roll towards the outside.
The Kayano model has a built in guidance system which is important for mentioned pronators and supinators! But it is not needed by neutral runners (foot hits the road quite straight and steady). And it may irritate some neutral runners as it comes with a slightly more “constricted” feeling.
However, if you are an older person, unsteady on your feet (for whatever reason) or just had an injury, that model will also be great for a person who is normally a neutral runner (or walker).
While I am normally a neutral runner /walker and am neither old nor heavy weight, I had a bad injury a few months ago where I tore 2 ligaments in one foot. I am still not fully recovered. I still get a swollen foot or pain after longer walks and even short runs, and I still don’t fully trust my ankle/foot to behave and don’t bring me down again. Certainly don’t want to risk another injury triggered by the old one…
So both the maximum cushioning and the guidance are welcome.
Because I used to work for the marathon association and know a lot about running shoes (different brands and their models) and their tech specifications, I know about and appreciate all the benefits of this model and just ordered it for myself. Look forward to using it a lot 😊
If you are new to this brand:
The way ASICS shoes are designed/ tailored, they work well for people who are also comfortable wearing the following brands: Saucony, Brooks, Altra, HOKA. They might not work for people who are normally happy with Nike or New Balance.
One last thing: please guys, don’t waste your money on cheap no name sports shoes! You can do that with TShirts, without an impact on your health. But when it comes to sports shoes, please consider the higher price as a preventative investment in your body & health.
If you are debating whether the ASICS Gel Kayano is worth its price, go ahead and order, it is! 👍👍👍

I’d worn Gel-Kayano running shoes for years (for running and for walking) and found them to be super comfortable and with just the right amount of cushioning. But this edition (“30”) seems TOO cushioned for me. Each step made me feel a bit unstable at the heel/ankle. Had to switch to a different model of Asics, but maybe will try again someday with the Kayano line. PS – this colorway was fantastic, but didn’t matter since the shoes didn’t feel/fit me right.

Fue un regalo para mi esposa, esta encantada con los tenis, comodos, bonitos, a un buen precio ademas llegaron antes de lo previsto.

I have flat feet, Scoliosis, and a right foot pronation. Given that. I am an active athlete, workout 3 hrs/day, combo 1.5-2hrs stairclimber + elliptical along with weight lifting.I have NEVER had a pair of tennis shoes that could withstand my WO routine, along with my skeletal issues until I found these.
I was always in some sort of pain, etc. by the end of a workout. These are the most sturdy, movement giving, comfortable shoes I have ever worn. I proceeded to buy 2 more as backup.

True to size; very comfortable; good arch support.

EXTRA cushioning makes these feel like pillows. Wide toe box is a good fit for Wide width feet. Runs a little small in length. Lightweight and with a wide flat bottom. Easy for flat road running or treadmill. I wouldn’t recommend using them on rockier surfaces or trails. Not snappy or forward rolling, but offers lots of cushion for running. I alternate these with other running shoes since they are so cushioned.
