These are OK. I used to love Asics because I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis. But I feel like they've changed too much about the Kayano. Its still one of the most comfortable sneakers I can find to walk long distances in but it has flaws. I feel the piece that comes up in the back is too high and aggravates the back of my ankle near the Achilles. The sizing also seems off. I always wear a 6.5, but the 6.5 is waaaaay to tight so I got the 7 which seems a little too loose and I know will get worse as they stretch out. I also feel my big toes touch the top of the sneaker a little too much  and if I wear them all day the tops of my toes are sore.
