I just bought my second pair of this model — one pair white, the other pair black. They are SUPER comfortable, with a lush insole and a lightweight, flexible, and breathable upper. I felt lucky to find them on clearance; I hope they won’t be discontinued.

Super comfortable.
Super comfortable. Asics have been a staple in my sneaker world for a while. These are great! Black goes with just about everything. (Would love an all white version, too)

This is the second pair of this shoe my husband has bought. He wears them to work where he's on his feet frequently and said they are comfortable. They run true to size, aren't too heavy, and last quite a while before wearing out. He also likes the black color because it doesn't show dirt as easily as lighter colors.

Great show for a good price
I bought these for my Fiance. He loves them, but He had to remove the insoles for a more comfortable fit. He doesn’t like how his feet seem to be out of balance. The price was great!

Get 1/2 larger
I had the ASICS Gel Kayano 28 at 10.5 size. Love that, but TBH, it always felt a bit tight, and became uncomfortable after a run or even walking around. And I don't have wide feet. I think the brand's design is just narrower up front. So for this one I got size 11.0, Perfect, love it. I understand everyone is different. For me, I had to go 1/2 bigger. Very happy. I wear 10.5 for everything. Just this one change (in size), I would buy ASICS again. I came it to DSW actually considering another brand, not ASICS, so I'm glad I tried a larger size.

Sizing is wrong
I purchased these shoes in my usual size 9.5, but unfortunately they ran significantly smaller closer to a 7.5 or 8. As a result, they didn’t fit at all and I ended up giving them to my father. The return process also proved inconvenient. Living in a small town with limited and difficult drop-off options made it more trouble than it was worth.

So good I bought it again
Subtle look that can pass for a dress shoe. Great fit and durability. Awesome walking shoe.

Mens Walking Shoe
My husband bought these a couple of weeks ago and said that they are very comfortable. Walks a few miles every day in them.

Comfortable, and work well for flat feet.
Very comfortable shoes! These are one of very few I can wear all day, walk 3-4 miles, and have no pain. I have very flat feet, and really struggle to find good shoes. These are highly recommended!

In my opinion, Asics makes great shoes for long walks. The shoes provide great support and comfort plus they're long lasting. They are the only trainers I buy and wear.

Consistent excellence for multiple decades!
ASICS have served me well since I ran track in high school.
From time to time, I have tried other brands. No other brand of athletic shoes have been consistently excellent like ASICS has been for me.
