ASICS Women's Gel-Kayano 25 Running Shoes

Comment

Finally, after two terrible generations (23 & 24) Asics Gel-Kayanos are back to the old style and fit. I’ve been wearing Asics Gel-Kayanos for over 10 years and was very distraught with the poor quaility of the previous two models which were narrow and lacked depth- my feet just didn’t fit in them even a whole size up and wide width. The 25s are wide width, roomy in the box and have depth and ankle coverage for my orthodics to fit comfortably inside. I ordered these 1/2 size up which wasn’t necessary as these are true to size, but the extra allows room for my feet to swell. Thank Goodness Asics listened and brought back the quality and fit. I’ve been waiting to try the 25s for about a year now, ordered them immediately and went for a run to test them out. I am so glad they are back to normal.

These gel Kayano 25 are much wider than the 22, 23 & 24’s. However, the support is not there at all. I have bought Kayano since the 15’s. I have not bought after the 21’s except for now since I heard they were almost back to normal with the width. Since the 22 model, they have NOT been the same. These 25’s only and I repeat only have the width right back on track. They’re, in in my opinion, are totally different with support. There is no more arch, they are flat!! I had them on for about 30 minutes walking around leisurely and maybe a jog here or there and my feet were hurting so bad in the heal, forfoot and arch. I am an over pronator and have had no problems with the 15’s up to the 21’s. I cannot wear these anymore. I’ll have to look for another brand. Hopefully I can find something. I really do hope Asics comes back with the older model supports and cushioning.

These are my 5th pair of gel kayano shoes and they fit nothing like the 22s and 23s. There is zero arch support or cushion in the sole. They are so unlike previous asics shoes I own that Im tempted to say these may be a knock off. Im a nurse on my feet all day and even my broken down other pairs will get me through a day better than these horrible shoes. Keep scrolling, or at least try them on at a store first.

I tried to buy this shoe from Nordstrom but they didnt have my size 11 M in the black. Ive been wearing asics gel kayanos for 12 years & these are perfect! The 23s I own deviated from the standard fit (too narrow in the width of the shoe) and these 25s are back to fitting like the older styles. Great service from the shop owner!

I tried these on at Lady Footlocker a couple weeks back and they felt very comfortable and so I knew what I wanted. I ultimately decided to purchase them here because they were a little cheaper. I was slightly disappointed that they didnt feel quite as comfortable as I remember them being when I tried them in a store. But, they do feel good on my feet. Took them for a test run and noticed that I still need to put my athletic inserts in them as there is not enough cushion in the heal. But, overall, they feel good and I like them. There is more room in the toe area than the 23s. So, for those who didnt like the 23 and 24s because of the narrow width, rest assured that these have more room. I ordered a size 9M, which is about a half size more than normal shoes because I like extra room in the toes. My heal does not slip in these. I just need more cushion in the heal when I run.
