Ok so I purchased men's trainers because I have flat feet.Tried women's and far too tight.My GP recommend ASICS because I have arthritis in my lower back and he said it would help lower the impact when I'm in my sports mode.I can honestly say he was correct.Even powerwalking used to aggravate my back but now with confidence I've built up to jogging then running without suffering the painPrevious purchases of trainers with hard soles and memory foam innersoles were not helping at all.What an amazing changeThey fitted perfectly and no signs of blisters or rubbing after wearing them either unlike other brands I've tried.Yes they are expensive but not really too bad when compared to 'fashionable'

This is the second pair of Aisics that I have owned, the first being brought three years ago which I wore (to the gym) until they were literally falling apart. I believe you’re supposed to change them every 6-8 months, dependent on how much you run in them, so I thought I had better get a new pair.These are a very comfortable fit (I tend to get one size too large for running shoes), and very light on my feet. Yet they provide a nice cushioning against the impacts of running on tarmac and treadmills. Nice looking running shoes too.I got these via a third-party (Wisden Sports) on Amazon who were very impressive in their service. Within a few hours of ordering they had been dispatched,

Got these as a replacement to my old Kayano 26 trainers (which were perfect). Generally not bad, but don’t give the level of cushioning and support that I was used to with my old trainers, hence giving me slightly more wear on my joints.I was hoping at ~ £130 that they’d be as good as previous Kayanos, allowing 10mile + runs, but unfortunately I’ve had to settle for doing shorter runs in these, which they’re not bad for.I reckon next time I get trainers I’ll go into a shop and get someone analyse my running gait and perhaps get a more particular pair to suit me.Also, arrived slightly larger than expected, returned them for half a size smaller,

I've literally been running in Gel Kayanos since they first came out over 25 years ago. The best running shoe hands down. I do however use them alternately with my Hokas to avoid repetitive use injuries. The Asics and Hokas have a very different stride to them, so I'm never overusing the same muscles, joints, etc. It's my theory, and since I'm still running strong at 57 years old, I'm sticking to it. I hear way too many people say they can't run because of this or that. Quit making excuses, nothing will get you in better shape than running. Alternate between two very different running shoes works magic!

Over the last 6 years I've been running in a variety of Brooks Adrenaline GTS 13 to GTS 19 shoes. The Adrenaline GTS 19 felt completely different to the previous models and, while I was trying to get used to it, I developed some aches and pains that seemed to be related to my new shoes. I tried these shoes as a well-known alternative stability shoe with what feels like more traditional midsole support. It's a bit heavier than the Adrenaline GTS 19 but apart from that it feels more comfortable and supportive to me. The aches and pains didn't come back, thankfully.

Asics are the only shoe I can run in, and I've been running since the mid 80s. I've tried new balance, nike, and one or two other brands, but asics is the only brand that consistently works for me and keeps my joints safe. I HAVE had difficulty with their sizing over the years. Different models are NOT consistent on sizing so you SHOULD plan to try a size and be prepared to need to go up or down depending on the model. But other than that, their soles and uppers are the only brand I've found that works for me, my shape, my program, etc. Good luck.

I initially saw my trainers online at a great price and purchased them. After a few days I tried to track my parcel , however I was unable to and I started to read the online reviews and I started to panic. My trainers arrived 10 days after my order and I couldn’t be more pleased. If I was to give any constructive criticism it would be to improve how tracking is viewed, however in these current times we should be prepared to make some allowances and 10 days is mote than acceptable for an overseas delivery. I am a very happy customer

After unhappy running experiences with Nike, Adidas and New Balance shoes, about a decade ago or thereabouts I stumbled upon ASICS ... starting with the GT, and about 4 years ago "upgrading" to the Gel Kayano. Ever since, no more blisters, no more twisted ankles and a really great running experience. Courtesy of the COVID lockdown, I started running way more than usual and so had to buy a replacement for my Kayano 25 ... and these 26 definitely did not disappoint. Extremely happy, and they take me the extra mile.

I hate capitalism as much as the next reasonable human aware of the global slave force that holds up our economy. But these shoes have changed my life. I've dealt with foot pain for years but these are game changers. I go on walks for HOURS in them. They are pricey but I'm getting ready to buy a second pair. Seriously I'm so grateful for these, I just feel so much more confident knowing I finally have a solution that is cheaper than custom insoles and superior to anything store bought insoles could do for me.

I have limited arches (flat feet) and have been using the Asic Kayano line since 2011 and these are amazingly comfortable and compliant shoes. I just replaced my 3rd pair in the series after compiling roughly 300 miles on them. Cosmetically my old shoes still looked great but were causing blisters so out they went.New shoes only have 3 miles on them from an initial run but one day later I feel no leg or foot fatigue and am ready to go out again. These are highly recommended.

These shoes were awesome. This style was listed as a top shoe for plantar fasciitis and I can't disagree. In fact I'm going to get a second pair. I'm 58 and have struggled with plantar fasciitis for a number of years. Within an hour of wearing these the pain disappeared and more importantly, the next morning I could walk in my bare feet without limping. I measured the length of my foot standing on a piece of paper in cm's and the sizing was perfect. I couldn't be happier.

They helped with running so I thought I'd use these as walking shoes as well. Don't..just don't. You really begin to feel the arch padding as you walk..which is why in think these are so good for running. When your foot hits the ground hard enough to compress the arch, there isn't any pain or uncomfortable feeling. The pain will only occur if you choose to walk in them. Only RUN with these shoes on. Going to spend a few more months testing these out. Time will tell.

This is probably my 10th pair in this brand and model. Overall I think they have made improvements with each version, and this one is no exception. It is very comfortable, has exceptional support, and fits a little bit on the small side. I normally wear a 13.5, but I went with a 14 as that was the best available. I found that it fits fairly closely to a size 13.5 so if you’re looking for something that is on the the larger or boxer side, I’d order a size up.

I usually wore Nike running shoes my entire life. I’m a size men’s US 11.5 and I decided to try these for a change. I bought these shoes for my new job as a FedEx delivery driver and let me tell you, these shoes are super comfortable. I had no discomfort anywhere whatsoever. I didn’t even need to break them in. I’m really glad I made the purchase and I would definitely 100% buy these pair of shoes again when these are worn out.
