Overall an improvement to the previous model
For background, I have been running in the Kayano 31 and really enjoy them. Naturally, I needed to add the 32 into my rotation.Overall, it’s a great shoe for me and I find it all around more comfortable than the Kayano 31, while offering a great running experience.Technically, I don’t NEED a stability shoe but that doesn’t stop me from running in the Kayano 32. I like the ankle and heel support this shoe offers. I always feel snug and secure. While I don’t excessively overpronate, I do like how the 4D Guidance system helps me feel more confident in how my foot is striking the ground.One of my complaints about the Kayano 31 was about the lack of support in the forefoot and compression in the toe box – even in an extra wide size. These issues have been corrected in the Kayano 32. The added foam under the forefoot tremendously improves the running comfort and the slight changes to the toe box and/or upper allow my toes to spread much more freely and have alleviated the hot spot on my little toe.The only aspect of the Kayano 32 that left me disappointed was the decision to move away from the more padded tongue and to the thin, stretchy tongue that’s used on the other ASICS models. I have a higher instep and this allows the laces to create a pressure point more easily. I also don’t like the giant loop at the top of the tongue that serves as the catch point for the laces. It just feels like a lazy design to me and isn’t as practical.

Great shoes with a lot of support! Will be buying again!
These shoes were my game changers. This was my second pair but when I put these on they gave me so much support my knees stopped hurting and for a big guy who doesn’t jump. Let me tell you I felt like I could jump with these shoes. They are also very comfortable, although I think I should have ordered them as 10 wide because my feet ache after a while and I think its because I need a wider shoe for my flat foot. Other than that, they help a lot when I walk now. And I feel better wearing these than when im barefoot.Thanks to these I got a second pair that were wide and now I use them one week on and off to keep them from wearing out too fast. I highly recommend them!

Solid Stable shoes
First Kayanos purchase. Size 10 wide. I have 4” wide feet and It is a snug fit on the middle and rear of feet. Could be tight for some, but it’s not too bad for me. However in the front, the toe space is great. Very roomy. The shoe itself is lightweight and gives you a solid inch boost in height from the cushion. For support, initial impressions are positive from me. I have flat feet over pronation and this shoe definitely made my step more stable, but the first few days, it made my feet sore so hopefully over time it will get better. It’s very hard to trip and is very comfy when running and walking so its functionality is good. Only downsides I have seen are that it’s not very breathable and it’s longer than my old shoes for the same size so when walking down steps the back hits the stairs. Overall, I am happy with it. Hopefully after breaking them in they will loosen up a bit on the sides.

Not recommended
I really want to like these shoes.The loops on the tongue and heel are great for putting the shoes on.They are comfortable enough.In the pictures, you can see how most of the tread is still in fairly new condition which is what I would expect from three week old shoes.However, after those three weeks of use (average of a little over two miles/day), the tread is gone.This is completely unacceptable for a $160 pair of shoes.I have had five other pairs of Asics and they have lasted for hundreds of miles which were not this expensive.I contacted Asics support and they said their warranty does not cover wear to the soles.If this is Asics approach (high price for a poorly designed product), I will have to look at other running shoes companies.

Best Stability Shoe !
I ended up ordering the Wide model along with the standard size and found that the Wide version felt better for my feet and had a slightly larger toe box, however if you have regular shaped feet the non-wide version should be fine. They are true to size do you do not need to worry about going one size up or down. The shoe provides excellent comfort but more importantly stability. If you are like me that over pronates when you step, these shoes are designed to provide stability and help correct over pronation. There are other shoes out there that are “softer” and make you feel like you are walking on clouds however that lack of stiffness and support will end up messing up your feet in the long run. LIKES:Provides Excellent stability to your feetHelps correct over pronationHigh Quality Material, breathableGreat amount of cushioningDISLIKES:High Cost because they just hit the market (June 2025)

Extremely soft and comfortable
True to size as always with this brand.Very comfortable shoe. I bought it for long walks for a trip to Europe soon. Right now I an just trying them before the trip, and I am surprised with how good it feels walking on them. It feels quite soft while walking, extremely comfortable. I totally recommend this shoes.

Great for ankle support and stability
My fiance has fused together bones in his feet that he needs surgery to fix and has the flattest foot I’ve ever seen. It hurts for him to walk in certain shoes because his bone is close to the skin but this shoe I bought him for work since he stands a lot and his feet and ankles are not as sore at the end of the day. Great quality. Highly recommend for anti pronation, and overall foot support.

The rubber under the shoes are very fragile
Looks good. Comfortable for my son. He began to wear them from August but please look at the pictures…

i was looking for a good pair of sneakers with adequate support to my foot and knee due to the knee pain sometimes . This one made my expectations 100% with comfort, support and easiness to walk for a long distance .

Very comfortable shoes! I’ve been using Asics shoes for many years now. I go between these and the cumulus. These are the best Kayano I’ve gotten so far.
