I have very flat feet due to wearing corrective casts as a child, which has caused back pain, among other issues. I had physical therapy after having babies, and PT taught me how to walk correctly, staying on my outer foot and rolling to my big toe. Over time I’ve developed a bit of an arch, but it’s hard to maintain correct form while running. I finally did research on shoes, and took a chance on these very expensive ones… I’ll never wear another pair for running and walking long distances! I can’t believe how natural they feel, automatically positioning my feet and arch correctly. They are soft and supportive, and lightweight. They're also cute, and match outfits for the gym or just wearing around town. True to size (a perfect size 10 for me). They seem durable, as well. I expect them to last a long time. I walk or hike many miles a day in high desert environments, and run on a treadmill at the gym, and they still look great!
Love the fit and cushion. The interior of the shoe is like a sock and is not durable. I have friction holes in both shoes that rub my heels when walking or running. Very uncomfortable and disappointing at the price point.
These shoes are really comfortable, and I’m super excited about the color! If your ankles swell, then this is not the shoes for you, because the tongue is affixed on both sides so do not fall off if a shoe string comes untied while running.
They are the best They’re extremely comfortable and they are the pair you need if you’re in healthcare. I’ve been using it for five years now.
I’ve been an Asics Kayano fan for years until the 29-31 models. They were sub-par, and looked like clubfoot shoes. I have a neutral arch, but over pronate, so I need a stability shoe. I switched to Brooks Adrenaline GTS for awhile, which were better than the above listed models of Kayanos…but still not what my feet, legs, and back needed. I decided to give the Kayano 32’s a try. Definitely better than the previous models I wasn’t crazy about. I am happy enough with them that I am going to order another pair or 2 to alternate daily. The only thing that drives me crazy about them….they squeak on the floor at work when I walk, and none of my other shoes do. Odd lol
The Kayano shoes have been on and off through the years with design and comfort, some great some not so great. The kayano 32 is EXCELLENT. I am beyond happy with the overall design and comfort of this shoe. I wore them for 12hours straight yesterday with only about two hours total of sitting and my feet were very comfortable by the end of the day. This was the first time wearing them. Did not need to be broken in. I have a normal arch, normal width (not too wide or too narrow), ordered my true size of 8.5…and they fit and felt great. VERY happy with these shoes. I plan to order another pair.
I needed a cushioned shoe for running on the treadmill and a stable shoe for weight training and jumping side to side and a wide width for my bunions and this shoe is perfect. My only regret is the light purple/blue color because the rubberized floor at my gym made black marks on the toes and other parts of the shoe that touched the mat doing floor exercises.
I bought these at the start of residency to keep my feet comfortable during the long days at the hospital! So far they have been very comfortable, I feel like I could stand/walk forever in these shoes - they feel like pillows for my feet! My only minor complaint is they can be quite squeaky on hospital floors. I am also a runner and am considering getting another pair to add to my running shoe rotation, they are very cushioned but still reactive and would be perfect for long runs! Thanks Asics for supporting medical professionals and helping to keep our feet comfortable!
Very comfortable out of the box. Used for walking, not running.
Bought these today. Already can tell a difference in foot pain.
