Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

Thank you Asics for the new Kayano 18! I loved the 17 and was worried when the new version came out. It fits so much the same but seems softer so far on the 50 miles I have on my new pair.

I have cycled through about 10 pairs of these puppies, and they are the best running shoe around. I have run in them all over the world, from the hot and dry conditions of Baja in Mexico, to the alps in Switzerland. I have run 4 full marathons and countless half marathons in these. As a Seattlite, I end up doing a lot of running in the rain- these shoes also provide great traction.

After being fitted by Shoe Dog I was fearful that I could find shoes that really made a difference in my training but I worried for nothing. Love these shoes!

Love them. Have several models of Kayano. These do seem a little smaller than the others size wise.

After years of wearing Nike, I have made the switch and LOVE them! They were a 1/2 size smaller than 1 usually wear :)

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I have a wide foot and have always loved this shoe. The 18 runs narrow even in the wide width. They just are not as comfortable as the previous models. Back to wearing my old 17's.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I read that this shoe (Kay 18) was a full ounce lighter than the Kayano 17. I loved the Kayano 16, but couldn't find my size in the 17, so tried the 18. Absolutely terrible. I know where the ounce came from--the front sole. I felt everything from the pavement, including the July heat! It was only a 4 mile run, thank goodness. This one's going back!
Sorry Asics I really wanted to love it. :-(

I bought these to replace my beloved Gel Kayano 16's. Asics has definintely made some big changes since the #16 model! The 18's have great stability and cushioning, but I found them to be extremely hot and non-breathable. The fit is much different than the older Kayano model as well. Although the toe box is nice and roomy, they seem to be a bit narrower in the forefoot area. My first run (5 1/2 miles) left me with blisters. Needless to say, I will be exchanging these shoes today.

Size a smidge smaller than the 17's but my narrow feet love them. No slipping or sliding. : )

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I bought these after running in the 16's for a while. These 18's are so much more comfortable, and so much more lightweight. The cushioning is great, but still provides alot of stabilty. Going a half a size up is never a good fit for me, so I bought them true to size (8 1/2) and they fit well, but are a tiny bit snug (I wouldn't go as far as saying they are a half a size too small). I love them and will continue to keep buying them as my current pairs wear out while I'm training for a marathon.

I always get 1 full size larger for all asics.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I have a narrow, flat feet and I overpronate. I tried on the Kayano 19, but didn't feel comfortable spending $150 on a pair of shoes that I wasn't sure would work out. Luckily, Road Runner Sports still had the Kayano 18 in stock, so I ordered it instead and it is working out great. I will switch to the Kayano 19 when they go on sale. You should order a 1/2 size up from your normal street shoe size.

I did try on just about every brand of shoe designed for overpronators and these were by far the most comfortable for me.

I purchased these shoes for my wife who has back issues and walks long distances. The shoes helps her posture and relieve uncomfortable back pain. She hates to take them off. She said it's the best shoe ever!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I have gone through a few pairs of these shoes while training for my last 50 miler. I love them! They took me on the road, on the trail (I have trail shoes, but I wore the Kayanos more), through mud and puddles, etc. The only reason I went through a few pair were because of the mileage I was putting on them. I was able to comfortably wear my inserts with them. They are lightweight, comfortable, and everything I was looking for in a running shoe!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

Excellent running shoe. I run 21 to 30 miles per week, and train for half marathons usually, though doing my first full soon. The Kayano has always done the job for me.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I love this shoe and the 18 is no exception! Very comfortable, lightweight, true to size.

Service and delivery comments:

Very prompt delivery. Great condition. Thanks1

I've run in Asics Kayanos for a solid two and a half years or so. They're great for arch support and I can get a good amount of miles on them before they break down too much.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I was told to get a pair of these shoes and with the help of road runner I am one happy gym rat. Great price and super quick shopping.

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

I have been running for 35 years and wearing this shoe ever since it came out. I have trained for a lot of marathons with this shoe. Its a heavier shoe but its made for us runners that are very muscle bound and larger then the average runner. Its a great shoe and I love it for training on the road and on the trails. It really takes a beating. I buy three pairs at one time. One to walk to work everyday. One to run in everyday and a back-up pair. I am a 48 year old female that runs 45 miles a week (when I'm not training for a marathon) It's the best shoe Asics has ever made!!! Just saying!!

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 18 Running Shoe:

This is my favorite shoe for walking, jogging, and gym use. I need stability and good heel support. However, I am noticing that I still need to add additional support at the heel and this one is a bit tight at the toe, especially on the right foot. But I want to give it a bit of break-in time before upping the size, as it is my usual size.
