Men's Gel-Kayano 25 Running Shoes

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.....

I am very dissapointed in these shoes. The very first time I laced them up and attempted to tie them one of the holes where the laces go through ripped. I have been a Brooks fan for a long time but was actually excited to try Asics for once. I will say that for $160.00 the quality of this shoe is something you would find in Nike or Reebok not an elite running shoe. As of now I would convince people to steer clear of kayano 25s.

I had worn Kayano's for years up until the 23's and 24's. Those models seemed to hurt my feet. This version seems to have fixed the issues that were bothering me (mostly in the forefoot and toe area) and feel comfortable like the earlier versions. I will note that while it does have some cushioning in the heel, it is not quiet as squishy as some prior versions. I recall the first time I put on earlier versions and it felt like I was running on a cloud. Didn't quite get that same feeling in these, but still great cushion. Likely depends on personal preference.I actually found the blue option to be a design I like - so often these running shoes don't come in color schemes that I would care to wear anywhere but while running, but these are ok.

Excellent trainers ,first run in them 15miles fit like a glove no rubbing or blisters.plenty of room in toe box. My 2 pair of Asics. Would highly recommend for long distance runners.

Excellent

Credo che non cambierò queste scarpe con altre,trovo che l'evoluzione del prodotto abbia raggiunto il suo apice con la queste.Sono comodissime e ammortizzano perfettamente i colpi sulla strada.Se non sono la perfezione assoluta ci vanno molto vicino .5 stelle meritatissime ne comprerò un altro paio.

buena calidad, aun precio un poquito elevado, pero es lo que hay, si quieres lo compras, sino no.el mejor kayano que he tenido.

Ich habe immer Probleme beim laufen gehabt, da ich nie die richtige Schuhe benutzt habe. Die Marke ASICS ist ja weltbekannt und dieser Schuh ist wirklich sein Name wert.
