Asics GEL-Kayano 17 Running Shoes (For Men)

Kayano is hands down the most comfortable and lightweight shoe I have ever owned. There is a big difference between dropping $240 for a set of Jordans that do nothing but look good and really understanding what your needs are in a workout shoe. Asics is the best, period.

I am rating Kayanos in general as I have worn various versions for several years and they are great shoes. I am a pronator and need the motion control and support and cushioning they provide as I am 6 foot 3 and weigh 186. However, these shoes did not get to me as they were sent to our other home in Florida.

These shoes fit me like a glove! They are VERY comfortable, but not soft and slushy like some other shoes. They have a wonderful wrap-around fit and come up just high enough on my ankles to provide extra support. I ordered them 1/2 size larger than normal because the information stated that these ran small. The information was correct and the 1/2 size larger was exactly correct. I love the black color, makes me look good in the gym, which is important to my male ego at 60 y.o. :) I don't run, but these are very comfortable and highly supportive for my daily power walks. They have great traction on the pavement. They do take a couple days for the gel insoles to form to the foot and once they do, you're dialed in. Buy them--you won't be disappointed!

Great shoe, runs 1/2 size small, but great value for the money. I used a 30% off coupon.

I am 58 and these are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.
