I bought this shoe because I wanted a change in color having had the bright blue and silver Gel Kayano (same model number, just different color). After putting this shoe on, it felt comfortable, but it did not have the same support and foot cushioning that I had in my blue shoe. I thought maybe they kept the name and changed the style, but since buying this, I have purchased another in the blue and the support is great. This white and lavender shoe broke down after three months of 5-day-a-week pretty high impact dance aerobic classes. My blue gel kayano lasted a good six months. It's weird, I know, but this is not a good shoe. The blue version is awesome.

I purchased the Asics GEL-Kayano trainer for high/low intensity workouts such as polymeric step aerobics, strength training, kickboxing and biking, rebounding done every other day.
I was hoping these trainers would take me from one workout to the next, but it's been almost 3 months since my purchase & my toes are feeling every pound of pressure. I move from one workout to the next - from 30 min of strength training immediately to 40 min kickboxing - and last 15 min into kickboxing, had to stop, my toes were aching.
Plus, I?m unable to bike in these as well; uncomfortable, and hurts my arch.
I'm going to order another brand of trainers, looking for extra padding in the forefoot. I'll continue using the Kanyo only for strength training - the Kanyo has good stability for lateral & forward movements, such as for lunges, windmills & skaters, but not enough padding for my toes.

My husband has been so satisfied with your products that I decided to order the Asics sneaker. I tried on the same model at a retail store and ordered it from you. I was so excited when I received the shoes, [...]. However, they didn't fit and I had to return [...].

I have had Asics shoes before. This product lives up to my expectations of their superior product

I was excited that a well liked Asics running shoe was adapted to a trainer. This shoe has great cushioning in the ball of the foot as well as the heel. Good space in the toebox. no slippage in the heel, lightweight. It took no breaking in and is suitable for all my gym workouts. Besides that, it looks good, flashy but not overly so.
