Best Running Shoes. Fit my orthotics well.
By T. Church
I run 12-15 miles a week, wear orthotics for flat foot and bunions. I've owned many different pairs of Asics running shoes over the years, and Gel-Kahana 3 is still my favorite. After logging in many miles, I tried two new pairs in other well-reviewed styles (GT 2160 and Gel-Foundation 7) as replacements after reading a review that Gel-Kahana 5 was not as good. But those new pairs didn't work out for me at all, causing cramps, blisters, and discomfort. I found myself kept going back to the trusty Gel-Kahana 3 that were falling apart and decided to give Gel-Kahana 5 a try. And, I am so glad that I did. They felt tighter at the beginning (always buy a full size larger for running shoes) and a bit heavier, but soon I was bouncing off the ground. I didn't realize how worn my old pair was in until I tried these. They are light-weight, supportive, and have flexible soles. A good pair or running shoes will let you run longer and faster, and ASICS Gel-Kahana 5 do that for me.

Most comfortable shoes ever
By Jo Ma Ma
My mom bought me a pair for Christmas. I wear them for work. I work in the medical field so I do a lot of walking & standing on hard cement floors all day long. I have had planters fashitis (sp?) for at least 10 yrs. These have been the only shoe that I don't get symptoms in. I am pain free as long as I am wearing these shoes. I love, love, love them. Great support-best I have ever seen. I am about to buy another pair today.

Asics Gel Kahana 5 running shoes are the BEST!
By keywestspirit
These are the most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned. Cushioned, but with enough support. They are also very light and quite stylish. And they don't show wear or dirt because of the grey background color. Love, love, love!!!!!
