Buy ASICS Men's GEL-Kahana 4 Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I love these shoes! I am actually thinking about purchasing a second pair before I can't find them. I love ASICS for their supreme comfort and functionality, but I sometimes have trouble finding ASICS that are aesthetically appealing to the eye. I love the look of these shoes and bought them primarily for wearing them with jeans and snowy, muddy weather in general. I've been wearing them for several weeks and they have been great. The comfort is among the best of any shoe I've owned (as all ASICS are) and I really like the way they look with jeans. The traction is ample and the support is good, although I don't have any intensive support needs. I'm very happy with my purchase and would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for a solid trail running shoe or just something to wear around comfortably.

Critical information: I am 6'3" and weigh 230...a pretty big guy. I regularly hike segments of the Appalachian Trail and do so in trail runners.

I bought these shoes due to the ASICS reputation and the agressive tread, thinking it would be a great shoe for me for the trail. Right out of the box, the fit and feel is GREAT. In 152 miles I put on the shoe in the first 9 days of ownership, I never got a blister or even a hot spot. Great fitting shoe. However, within a few hours on the trail, cracks began to form at the base of the lugs. Within four days (only about 60 miles), the second lug from the back on both shoes separated and began to tear away, eventually tearing off, on both shoes (in spite of trying to use duct tape and gorilla glue to keep them stable). Once that lug was gone, the large lug on the back was unprotected and began to tear away. By the sixth day on the trail (about 100 miles), I had more duct tape than lugs. It made for a very sketchy last 50 miles, wondering if I was going to be barefoot before I got back to civilization!

I loved the shoes and, perhaps, my weight (230) plus the weight of my backpack (30 lbs), combined with the rocky, rough, and sometimes steep terrain of the AT were too much for the shoes. They do not advertise a load rating...but I'd be willing to say that, if you weigh over 180...and/or if you do any trail running or hard backpacking...these are probably NOT the shoes to get. If you're a lightweight and/or just plan to use these around the house, they do feel superb.

Honest reviews on ASICS Men's GEL-Kahana 4 Running Shoe

I got this shoes last week, on MOnday, just in time for my 10K race on Sunday. Had just about enough time to break into them. From my first run with them I felt like I was stepping on clouds, they feel so soft on each step, but its not only that, when I did my sprints I felt that each bounce really propelled me. Yesterday I finished my 10K race and my feet felt great and comfy. I was a fan of the Pegasus 26 and had a short enchantment with the Lunar Glides, but these running shoes are really something. Outstanding.

let it be known i'm rocking out to george michael right now--so i am thrilled to write a positive review for this fine product.

my dad suffers from overpronation. except he didn't known of his foot condition until recently when i made him aware. i believe my exact words were "dad, your feet are totally janky." he often wore his shoes out in certain way: the medial (inner) side of his shoes were ground-down to not much of anything. and he suffered from sore feet.

then one day, daddy came home with new sneakers (the catalyst..a turning point). he bragged to me and mom that they only cost $16. they were hideous shoes. so...since father's day was coming upon us, we needed to rid the house of the eyesore dad called his "hot new sneaks," and i love problem-solving...i decided to find a solution on the interwebs resulting in new shoes for dad.

i researched his problem and found a name for his foot condition (overpronation). i learned that overpronators need "motion control" and "stability"--you must find these words in your shoe product description. most shoes that address motion control and stability are very expensive. and they look straight-up geriatric.

these shoes are neither expensive nor geriatric. he loves them to death and wears them every day. so i win, and the rest of my stupid siblings have a lot of catching-up to do.
