Based on 1 year's data from Mar 23, 2026 How it works
I started with Asics Gel Kayano and had several pairs slowly updating over the years, but while they seemed to be really nice until last year this year's version is too fluffy and too high for me. So if you can still get the Kayano 29 or 30 I think they're worth the try. Since I see others recommend brooks - they seemed to be too wide for me tbh, but I also have a pair of New Balance shoes that are nice as they are for slender feet and still provide good stability.
You could look at something like the asics kayano 14 or asics gt-1130? Vintage running shoes with a very good stability. They are selling (and being worn) like crazy where I live, should also be the case in your country :) Edit: brooks beast gts 24 is also very firm and medially supported Cheers
Should probably be fine for walking, if you plan to get into running (OR if you experience pain when you do longer walks in these On shoes) I would recommend some shoes that help with overpronation (which you clearly have when standing and likely (doesn't need to be) when walking), such as asics GT2000, brooks ariel gts 24, asics kayano. Imho, if you ask chatGPT for shoes that help with overpronation and it recommends anything that is from On, I would say it's a bad recommendation. My professional background is doing gait/running analysis on a daily basis, if anyone wonders. Cheers!
Also an Asics fan. I alternate between the GT-2000 and the Gel-Keyano. I wear narrows, so I am limited to certain models.
Most of my runs are boring. So I use thick shoes for safety. I do have a Boston 12 for my faster running. It is more fun to use! But I only use them like once a week. The rest of the runs are on boring shoes (kayano, 1080)
You can find asics nimbus or gel kayano for 5.5k if may malapit sayo outlet. Or new balance 1080 or more. Pede din puma magmax. Heavy side din ako, while I like to explore Chinese brands, preference ko din ung matry ko.
If you want stability the gel kayano or hurricane are probably safe bets.
I wear Asic Gel Kayanos or Nike Pegasus to the gym but they’re more for running. It’s hard for me because I do cardio + strength. I would ideally prefer a thinner flatter shoe for lifting but I prefer to keep my feet comfortable for the running segment
I’m a beginner runner and went to my local run store to get fitted and the ASIC Kayanos were one that they pulled for me and I picked! I can’t remember the other two but they were so squishy I felt like I would roll an ankle and fall over. OP def try to go get fitted and try on a bunch of pairs! I went to Fleet Feet and the assessment was free and I tried on 3 pairs of shoes that were for my foot and gait.l and picked the pair that felt the best! They also had a good return policy
Asics. Exclusively. Great motion control shoe and the Kayano/ Nimbus are legendary comfortable.
What you wanna do is get two pairs. A stability shoe, brooks glycerin gts or asics gel kayano And stable neutral shoe. Superblast 2 and rotate between both. Always running in stability shoes is not a good idea, but rotation is a good idea. I overpronate on the left foot and get shin splints. I run neutral, saucony ride 17, when I can feel my shin splints starting I switch to stability till healed. Then back.
