I bought these sneakers, because the reviews were positive. I am very pleased with the purchase. The shoes fit well and are very comfortable. They provide excellent support. I was told that gel bed shoes are hot, but this is not the case with the Asics Gel-Kayano 20. The breathable material keeps my feet nice and cool.

One of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn! Light weight, and great support. I think I have a lifetime "keeper" in the Gel-Kayano line.

Great shoe. I have some major feet/ankle problems and my doctor recommended I get good running shoes. I tried several other brands and was not happy. When I started looking for this pair I decided to go retail. Every clerk I talked to said ASICS, even if there store was 80% stocked with another brand that has a check mark on it. I decided on the Kayao 20 because it had the best reviews for ASICS. I have not been disappointed. They provide great support and awesome cushioning for my feet. I went with Zappos because they were competed and had the black and silver I was looking for.

Bought these for my husband. Unfortunately, we have to return because they were too narrow. I knew as soon as I saw them - they are very skinny. If they have them in wide, I will make an exchange.

Purchased as a gift for my son. Was a little concerned that the color (storm/white/rust) would be too flashy but they look really nice. They seemed to be a good fit and he was really pleased with them.

These are incredibly good looking shoes. They are nice and wide. They are very cushioned. They are perfect for wider feet. I purchased another pair as we liked them so well.

This is a great shoe if you are a over-pronator. If you are a under-pronator like me it is the worst shoe, buy only of you are a overpronator. I did not know what that was and when I got them the hurt my feet. Fortunately for me Zappos let me exchange them for a Asics shoe made specifically for under-pronators.

The Asics gel-kayano is a staple in our house. Great comfortable all around exercise shoe. Fit is always right & very durable. I keep my husband well supplied with this brand & style.

Very good shoes for those with pronation problems. I have been using Cumulus for years and switched to these this year. Very pleased. These always run a little smaller, so be sure to get .5 size up. I am normally an 11.5 and get all Asics products at size 12.

I'm a fan of these shoes. I've purchased the same model year after year. They are comfortable, durable and not too heavy. I thought the green was a stand out color, so I bought them. They fit well for someone with wider feet. I generally buy a wide version shoe, but there is no need with this model. The first time I purchased was due to a rating I read from another Zappos user, and I have loved them for thousands of miles.

I have been purchasing ASICS exclusively for years and these are the best fitting pair I have purchased (I even ordered an extra pair just to keep on hand in case they stop making this particular shoe) great fit, looks good too! I would highly recommend!

These are very comfortable and supportive. The joint at the base of my big toe is very sensitive, and the cushioning makes me able to walk much more than I could before. Sizing is accurate.

This is the third or fourth pair for my 16 year old. He says they are very comfortable - he wears them for running and working out as well as for causal/school.

I've been in the Kayano series since they were introduced. Great stability (I also have orthotics) and plush ride. I get 500 or more miles from each pair (2-3 pairs/year).

Asics has a winner in the Gel-Kayano series. I've been buying them since 14 in EEEE. Great all round shoes! My feet are sensitive to plantar fasciitis. I have not experienced any pain while wearing Gel-Kayanos. The non-flexing design and great support help keep my feet pain free. Zappos is the only on-line seller that stocks them in the EEEE width.

This is my second pair having put about 800 mies on my first pair of 19s. The stability is great as I run severely supinated. Also, I am a big guy at 6'1" and 215 lbs so I need a lot of shock absorption and these are awesome. Like I said, 800 miles out of my last pair with no injuries. I have a big wide foot and these are truly wide enough for me and give me lots of room with no chafing or blistering. Best pair of running shoes I have owned.

This is my second pair of these shoes. Bought original pair on the recommendation of an employee of a sporting goods store. Great recommendation. I believe that if you are going to spend extra on clothing it should be on shoes. No other item of clothing has as much to do with your health and comfort. I have tried many brands of running shoes, including New Balance, Nike and others but I always come back to Asics because of their comfort and durability. Note that I am a 270lb moderately active male.

Great shoe, price was better than similar shoes of this quality. Negative for me - shoe strings are not long enough.

Really like the kayano 20. Very light in my opinion. Good cushioning and great graphics with the rust color!

My son says these are the most comfortable shoes he has had. We just bought a second pair, as his foot is still growing. The first pair have been worn many, many times and are still in great condition. Expensive, but worth the price.
