Nice shoe, but runs a 1/2 size larger than usual

Seems to run a 1/2 size larger than usual kayanos

helped pain in shins so much even during the first run

been hesitant to spend this much for a shoe for a long time...why did i wait so long? i have been suffering from severe shin pain when i run any distance at all(1-1.5 miles is the most i do). the first day i got these,i went for a run and the shin pain is almost gone when i run. if this continues then its worth every penny.

Asics has done a great job bringing back the original fit of the Kayano

Asics has done a great job bringing back the original fit of the Kayano. I am a fit heavier runner at 215 lbs and run between 6 to 10 miles a week for cardio. I have had a previous bouts with knee issues and PF, so good running shoes are a must for me. So far, the Kayano 25's have been everything Asics said they would be. They run true to size without the toe box being cramped, provide plenty of cushioning from toe to heel with good responsiveness from the new dual layered sole and are very comfortable! You cant go wrong with these!

Return to form for Asics

I've been wearing Gel Kayano shoes for the last 4 years. I wear them for work where I spend pretty much all day on my feet (ER nurse). Kayano 22s were amazing and then the Kayanos got worse and worse. 24s were absolutely horrible and hurt my feet. Well, Gel Kayano 25s are a return to form and extremely comfortable. Toe box is just right, good cushion on tongue and heel, and good support. Absolutely 0 break in period required. Paired them with some Superfeet Blues and my feet (and legs) are happy again.

Great for Plantar Fasciitis

Got these for my brother in law for his birthday because he's been complaining about his feet hurting. He has plantar fasciitis and as new electrician is on his feet all day long, sometimes on hard surfaces/concrete. I just spoke with him about a month after his birthday and he told me that his feet no longer hurt at all He is amazed and was kind of shocked that a shoe could make such a difference. I'm so happy they are working for him as foot issues/problems are the worst. He loves them and I might just have to get him another pair for Christmas in a different color. I got him the dark teal color and they are super cool, very dark teal and look great with jeans. He is always a size 10 and the size 10 in these fit him perfectly.

Great fit, excellent comfort and sharp looking

What a great fit. I have flatter feet and am right on the border of D and EE (for width). Most times D is just a touch too narrow but a EE is too wide even for thicker socks. This is the first time trying the Kayano and I didnt expect them to be any different. I was wrong. A perfect fit. The little bit extra in the toe box is an added bonus. The cushioning caught me by surprise. I knew it felt good, but until I put on my older shoes I didn’t realize just how much. As for the looks.....I didnt want to go dark and am not usually a fan of white color. However, the mix of colors with the white looks very sharp. Now with all this said, I have only walked in them. I have yet to run, but I am now sure they will work well. I may order a second pair just for running indoor while the other can be an all around show. Sure they are not cheap, but many times you need to pay more for what is best for you.

Look Better In Real Life.

I love the look of the shoe as that is what caught my attention. I run in the Gel-Cumulous 17 and purchased these as a casual style shoe. As soon as I put them on and took the first step I was in love, the fit is perfect, wide toe box and look sexy in the mirror.

Fits well and and a blessing for my feet.

Asics Gel-Kayano looks great and is the only brand/product that I comfortably can say fit my feet perfectly every time and and let me run without any of my feet start aching. Technically Asics Gel-Kayano is a great running shoe, fits the feet well, gives great support to your feet when running and the "gel" technology protects the knees! Most other shoes from other vendors gives me problems one way or another when running. The only drawback with Asics Gel-Kayano in general (though not with this pair yet) - which to me is an annoying and unnecessary issue but has been consistent over the last five-six years years and my approximately 15th pairs of Asics - is that each Asics Gel-Kayano pair does not look good for long. After relative short period of time (frequently only a month in of using them) a hole will start appearing in the upper part of the shoe covering your toes (hole in the mesh toe cap). I wish Asics would recognize and correct this flaw because the hole in the toe cap look bad in an otherwise almost new shoe (and people who don't have Asics frequently ask what has happened) but it is the same issue every time and has happened to all my previous pairs over the years but it has never happened to any other brand I have used. I have pointed out this issue (flaw) directly to Asics but the refer to warranty and I did send one pair once that I got replaced and they only lasted one month again before it was a new hole in one of shoes again. I had shoes replaced twice but who has time to continuously send the shoes in for warranty replacement only to get a new pair with the same issue? However, even with the holes the shoes can be used (and the only one that I feel comfortable with) but this issue is annoying and the shoes look bad almost immediately (see photo of my previous pair - not the latest). In short the Asics Gel-Kayano is a great running shoe that fits your feet well, providing excellent stability and support for your feet and they are a savior for your knees but don't expect them to look good or last for long.

Perfect In Every Way! Great Purchase.

I have a hard time finding shoes that actually fit properly. I wear an 8-4E and sometimes an 8.5D might fit, but not very often. Also, I didn't know that Asics made wide widths since you NEVER see them in the stores. So, to my surprise, these were a perfect fit and comfortable, too. My only point of disappointment is that in my size they only offered one color even though this shoe is made in like ten different colors. I'd love to buy another pair in one of the other colors.

Comfortable

Comfortable for a big heavy old guy (67, 260lbs, 6'). Enables me to stand & walk comfortably all day without my feet being the first to tire and ache.....
