My wife has been buying these shoes for years now and would not buy anything else. This is at least her sixth pair. She wore them for years walking to work.
from Ridgeway, Virginia on 10/15/2008
These shoes are great! They are light weight, soft and feel true to size. They feel like walking on GEL. Great Chocolate color for outdoor wear and will not show dirt. I have worn Asics once before but these have made me an avid Asics customer.
from Los Angeles on 10/2/2008
this is my second pair I love this shoe. I wear it to work and back everyday around the streets of Los Angeles and it has held up well, it's comfortable and durable. Try a pair you will love them
from Metairie LA on 8/5/2008
Shoes fit great and are comfortable, but the top of the shoe in the back (above the heel) rubs that bone. I think it's cut a little to high for me, but hopefully will break in the more I wear them.[...]
from Puyallup, WA on 7/22/2008
What I like best about this shoe, other than the comfort, is the resistance to staining/discoloration. I like the fact that the chocolate color is dark enough to camouflage dirt and the lighter, silver, areas are made of a material that resists it--unlike most athletic shoes. Because I wear them (with orthotics) so often for plantar fasciitis, my shoes can show dirt pretty quickly. These do run a little small, so I had to buy one size up and wide. I have never had to buy larger to accomodate the orthotics, but the larger size is comfortable. I exercise on a regular basis but wear a different pair for that, so these are mainly for my daily activities.
from Laredo, Texas on 7/15/2008
I have always used Asics products. However, ordering on line gave me the flexability to review all products and was able to order the shoes in narrow.[...]
from Ventura, CA on 7/6/2008
I bought these shoes on a recommendation from a friend. It is said for walkers, to go up a half size, which I did, but after 20+ miles on them, I am still breaking them in and getting used to them. I am training for a 39 mile 2 day walk which I have done before. I also added a gel insert for a bit more cushion and support for my specific feet. So far, they are working out well and my feet are growing used to them. I only used these for walking and have other shoes for my gym workout and other shoes, still, for step and conditioning classes. Overall, take care of your feet. I would recommend these to others.....just be patient with the feel of them as you break them in. Also, adjust the tightness of the laces, which helped me a lot.. The pricing iis definitely good with onlineshoes.com
Excellent sneaker. Only sneaker I can wear that provides enough support and stability to support my knees. When my knees ache due to wearing work shoes, putting on these sneaker alleviates the pain and assists in nursing my knees back to health.
from Missouri on 6/10/2008
This is a very comfortable shoe with great support. I have plantar fascitis in my left foot and need a lot of support and this shoe fits the bill. I have been wearing ASICS shoes for three years now and have liked every style.
from seattle, WA on 6/5/2008
love these - they really are comfy even though not the prettiest colors
from Conway, PA on 5/22/2008
These shoes have plenty of toe room and great arch support. They are lightweight, very cushiony and the most comfortable shoes I own. I wear them everywhere.
from Big Flats, NY on 5/7/2008
This shoe is good for serious walking. If, like me, you have back and foot problems this shoe provides excellent cushioning and support. I always wear Asics Gel Kayano for running. I'm glad to find Asics makes an excellent walking shoe, as well.
from Brooklyn N.Y on 5/7/2008
Walk 4 miles every day, for 30 years, this is the best shoe yet
from PA on 4/30/2008
This is the perfect shoe for people who have problems with their feet
from Tucson, Arizona on 4/16/2008
I am at the gym 3-4 times a week. I walk on a track 4 miles, 3 days a week, and hike 6-10 miles once every week or two. I don't suffer plantar fasciatis with these shoes. I have been a fan of GEL-Kayanos for several years now, and these have held to my high standards for a shoe. Sometimes these are more expensive than other brands but work well for such a long time they are well worth the price.
from Memphis on 3/22/2008
Color is great, giving it a different look and style.
from Texas on 3/11/2008
I use them for just everyday use, plus walking the dog, and on the treadmill. I have two pairs, one for outside and one for on the treadmill. Always buy two pairs at least. There are no downsides of this shoe, other than maybe the color. In all ways I use them, they're great! This is the only shoe I buy now. I've tried other brands, the same brand but different styles and I just keep coming back to this one. I will surf the net till I find them. I can order them, receive them, put them on and go. No trying to work them in. They fit perfect from the box.
from Spokane, WA on 3/11/2008
I always look for the lightest weight with the most support. I can't wait to put these shoes on and can walk in them all day. They feel like an extension of my body. They are also water resistant and breathable, not hot like some of my gortex shoes (which I wear in pouring rain).
from Greeley, CO on 3/11/2008
I am a registered Nurse and use these for work. Awsome shoes! 10 hour shifts--no problem. They are comfortable all day long and look great with anything.
from Melbourne, FL on 2/25/2008
I am a high speed, long distance walker. I wear out a lot of shoes. This is my favorite shoe, I always wear it when I can find my size (6 1/2 wide).
from STL on 2/25/2008
I've been buying these shoes for 4 years now... I've tried others and always came back to these.
from Oakland, CA on 1/15/2008
These are very light and comfortable. The shoe has a sturdy backside to support my heel and the forefront is made of this flexible mesh. So it doesn't matter if you have bunions or oddly shaped feet. The mesh will not irritate the feet, but fit the shape of your feet.
It gets really windy in the Bay Area, and the top cover of the shoe is made of this breathable mesh. So while I was walking in the wind, I felt the wind blowing into my toes. Could be a good thing for some or a bad thing for others.
I've also read comments on how the shoe feels a 1/2 size too small, so I bought a half size bigger. I still don't know if this was the right choice or if my actual size was much better.
from Phoenix, AZ on 1/13/2008
Hard to find shoes in narrow! Purchased for my daughter who has arch problems. These are cushioning and breathable, quite comfortable.
from Monterey, CA on 12/13/2007
I bought a pair two years ago and loved them then. I have moved on to the more radical color which my daughter says sparkles too much. I walk everyday on a walking trail and on paved and unpaved streets and these shoes can go for hours. Very comfortable - no break-in time, lightweight and just darn irght cool looking.
from Gilmer, TX on 11/28/2007
Use to walk almost daily or for when out and on my feet a lot. First pair I wore while teaching. Be aware that Asics run one-half size shorter than your regular size. I have narrow feet and this brand is tops for narrow feet. I put them on and just go never even thinking that they are brand new! Cannot do that with any other brand[...]
from St Paul, MN on 10/18/2007
every day use very comfortable
from North Texas Area on 10/7/2007
Great walking shoe, I wear Narrow and it worked great for me. Thanks
from Oakland, CA on 9/23/2007
I have fibromyalgia and peripheral
neuropathy and I've never felt more secure in these shoes. I went away on a three week vacation and normally I need to take many different styles because my feet would hurt so much. I took two pairs of these (I bought both colors) and a pair of sandals and I was set.
I love them and will buy them over again.
from Long Beach, CA on 8/23/2007
I had Plantar Fascitis (basicallty, heel pain) a few years ago and now am very limited to shoes I can wear. Even if the shoe seems very comfortable and like a good fit, as these did at first, after a little while I can feel that my heels are being aggravated. This shoe had that effect. I actually have been wearing Gel Asics for years. I always buy the same shoe, two pairs at a time, but now they have discontinued my model and I am looking for a replacement. This wasn't it. I had to return these to try another model.
from Hudson, WI on 8/3/2007
They are durable
from Lakeland, TN on 8/2/2007
The shoes were comfortable from the start but what I thought was a "new shoe squeek" has lasted for months. I have never experienced this with a shoe before and it drives me crazy!!!!
from Gig Harbor, WA on 8/2/2007
I started buying Kayano Gel Walkers 6 years ago and have never been disappointed. Asics makes a great shoe, I have even converted my husband!
I did not think that there could be a more comfortable shoe than the Kayano Walker V. I was wrong. The Kayano Walker 6 is the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. As a serious walker, 50+ miles a week, these shoes give me the support and comfort required for the mileage. No aching feet or knees with these great shoes. Thank you Asics!
from Kennesaw, Ga on 7/31/2007
I am sold on the quality, fit and comfort of Asics walking and running shoes. And love the variety of styles and colors that [...] offers verses just selecting what's available in the nearest sporting goods store. I will continue to shop [...] first for my next pair of Asics.
from San Diego, CA on 7/31/2007
I found these shoes in a local sporting store, kept one on my left foot, and tried several others on right foot. Knew I wanted this particular shoe because comfort level far exceeded anything else I tried on. Great fit and arch support. However, they were expensive in the store...more than I wanted to pay. I tried shopping at [...], found exact same shoes at a huge savings. I'm hooked, and have already ordered another pair...this time Merrell brand, and I am equally delighted. Great way to shop and save $$$ at same time. Thank you!!!
from alabama on 7/31/2007
asics are the only athletic shoe that i will buy. the only thing you need to know is that they tend to run a half size smaller than your normal size. i normally wear a 9.5 but in an asics i wear a 10. i have never had a blister from an asics shoe. i wear them to work as well as for exercise. they never have to be broken in.
