ASICS Women's Gel-Kayano 25 Running Shoes

Comment

I have been wearing this brand and style for 15 years so purchased another pair for a recent overseas trip during which I would do a lot of walking. These were remarkably SMALLER in the midsection than any pair Ive had prior. It felt like I was wearing a VICE and was literally excruciating. As I had no time to hunt for new shoes on the trip I was forced to wear these and was MISERABLE the whole time. When I returned and sat these next to my most recent pair I realized I wasnt hallucinating. The size difference in the box and height is remarkable. I will never order them online again and I feel like I just wasted $100 as I was forced to wear them on the trip so they are officially used.

So comfortable! If you suffer from plantar fasciitis, these are the shoes you should try.

I have been wearing ASICS Gel-Kayano 20 for years and needed a new pair so I ordered these. I cannot believe how much they have been changed from Kayano 20 to 25 ! Kayano 20 is such a great version but the 25 is totally different ! The soles feel nice, but there is no arch support. The biggest problem is that the top of the shoes is too low so there is a great amount of pressure on the top of the feet, I tried them on and after 10 minutes my feet felt numb, I cant imagine running 10K or even longer distance on these. The style looks good, but we need function not just the look. I really hate to return them but they dont work for the purpose of running. Why Asics has to ruin their great shoes of Kayano 19,20, and make them worse and worse? I am experienced runner and tried many brands of running shoes and I only wear Asics now, but Kayano 25 is very disappointing, sorry. I want Kayano 20 back! On the positive side, if your feet is narrow and flat, these might work just fine.

****-1/2 stars - Ive gone from Asics to Nike (high support) to Brooks to Adidas and back to Asics Gel Kayano. These are subtle and pretty, very supportive and comfortable. The inside sole is super-thin and Ill replace it soon with my physician-made orthotics. There are 2 things that I dont like about Asics and that is (1) often times, the womens shoe colors are so bright and gaudy that I refused to buy or wear them; and (2) the inside of the heel wears out long before the shoes. So Im back to these Asics. Not perfect, but one of the best, IMO.

I initially bought these in a 7.5, but went up to an 8 after realizing some foot issues I was having was likely due to the toe box being too small. I am a relatively new runner, but Im training for a 10K. These shoes provide excellent support to my knees, ankles and feet. I went with the sea glass color and I am OBSESSED with them. I am not having the foot issue and can run 4+ miles at this point with very little soreness. Although I love these shoes, I highly recommend going to a running store and getting fitted before purchasing. How I came to these shoes was that I went to a running store where a clerk had me try on like 15 pairs until I found one that felt good then she tested my stride to ensure it was correcting any pronation issues I was having. I purchased my second pair via Amazon, but I had peace of mind that the shoe would work for me.
