Asics has done a great job bringing back the original fit of the Kayano. I am a fit heavier runner at 215 lbs and run between 6 to 10 miles a week for cardio. I have had a previous bout with knee issues and PF, so good running shoes are a must for me. So far, the Kayano 25's have been everything Asics said they would be. They run true to size without the toe box being cramped, provide plenty of cushioning from toe to heel with good responsiveness from the new dual-layered sole, and are very comfortable! You can't go wrong with these!

I've been wearing Gel Kayano shoes for the last 4 years. I wear them for work where I spend pretty much all day on my feet (an ER nurse). Kayano 22s were amazing and then the Kayanos got worse and worse. The 24s were absolutely horrible and hurt my feet. Well, Gel Kayano 25s are a return to form and extremely comfortable. The toe box is just right, good cushion on the tongue and heel, and good support. Absolutely 0 break-in period required. Paired them with some Superfeet Blues and my feet (and legs) are happy again.

Asics Gel-Kayano looks great and is the only brand/product that I comfortably can say fit my feet perfectly every time and let me run without any of my feet start aching. Technically Asics Gel-Kayano is a great running shoe, fits the feet well, gives great support to your feet when running and the "gel" technology protects the knees! Most other shoes from other vendors give me problems one way or another when running.
The only drawback with Asics Gel-Kayano in general (though not with this pair yet) - which to me is an annoying and unnecessary issue but has been consistent over the last five-six years and my approximately 15th pairs of Asics - is that each Asics Gel-Kayano pair does not look good for long. After a relatively short period of time (frequently only a month in of using them) a hole will start appearing in the upper part of the shoe covering your toes (hole in the mesh toe cap). I wish Asics would recognize and correct this flaw because the hole in the toe cap look bad in an otherwise almost new shoe (and people who don't have Asics frequently ask what has happened) but it is the same issue every time and has happened to all my previous pairs over the years but it has never happened to any other brand I have used. I have pointed out this issue (flaw) directly to Asics but the reference to the warranty and I did send one pair once that I got replaced and they only lasted one month again before it was a new hole in one of the shoes again. I had shoes replaced twice but who has time to continuously send the shoes in for warranty replacement only to get a new pair with the same issue? However, even with the holes, the shoes can be used (and the only one that I feel comfortable with) but this issue is annoying and the shoes look bad almost immediately (see a photo of my previous pair - not the latest).
In short, the Asics Gel-Kayano is a great running shoe that fits your feet well, providing excellent stability and support for your feet and they are a savior for your knees but don't expect them to look good or last for long.
