Review: So comfortable, I just may sleep in them! - This shoe appeared on several lists of best running shoes for foot and knee pain, so I decided to give them a try. I walk/run about 4 miles a day on a treadmill during the winter, and was experiencing increasing knee pain, even just walking. (My treadmill belt is not well padded). I have a neutral foot with moderate arches. I had already tried and returned another brand, so did a lot of reading before making another try. The Gel Kayano is supremely comfortable, with nice cushioning, wide toe box, moderate arch support in the right place for me, and a nice rocker effect. It's so comfortable, it doesn't look like it's going to require any sort of break-in period. No rubbing anywhere after several miles. The best thing, my knee pain went away immediately. Although these are intended to be dedicated treadmill shoes, I've been wearing them around the house all day, can't stand to take them off. Sizing may be a little generous, or maybe I'm just not used to having that much room to wiggle my toes. The length seems correct and there's no sliding around in the heel. I ordered some thin running socks, which I should be wearing anyway. While the tops are very breathable, my feet are getting warm underneath, so socks will help prevent any moisture buildup. The price was reasonable... they are changing over to the new model so these were $99. Can't complain about that for a quality shoe! The Gel Kayano is supposed to be very durable , so we'll see how long they last! Love these so much I just may well sleep in them. They're that comfortable!
Review: comfortable with great arch support and stability - I love these shoes. I'm not a runner and wear them for walking and everyday use. The arch support and stability are excellent. They are very comfortable with a deep plush inner sole.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So comfortable, I just may sleep in them!
*by E***L on February 1, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ comfortable with great arch support and stability

I love these shoes. I'm not a runner and wear them for walking and everyday use. The arch support and stability are excellent. They are very comfortable with a deep plush inner sole.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Timely delivery of a great shoe in immaculate condition
*by S***S on July 19, 2024*

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! 👍👍👍
