The ASICS® GEL-Kinsei™ 4 is a moderate, neutral running shoe designed for daily training and high mileage. Heel Clutching System uses an exoskeletal structure that wraps the heel for a secure fit. Cuprothermo metallic film retains heat in cold weather to keep feet warm and dissipates heat in warm weather to keep feet cool. Biomorphic Fit® provides superior fit and function. Open mesh helps keep feet cool. PHF™ (Personalized Heel Fit) memory foam lined heel collar molds to the heel for a snug, comfortable fit. Asymmetrical Lacing Design better follows the shape of the foot for an improved fit. Solyte™ midsole with GEL® Cushioning System enhances shock attenuation and allows for improved toe off position. Guidance Line is a vertical flex groove in the forefoot for improved gait efficiency. Propulsion Trusstic System® utilizes a thermal plastic unit that connects the lateral heel to the medial forefoot. This unit works to release stored energy and propel you forward during toe-off. Impact Guidance System (IGS®) design creates a smooth and balanced heel-to-toe transition. ASICS® High Abrasion Rubber (AHAR®) in the heel is made of carbon rubber for exceptional durability. DuraSponge in the forefoot is made from a blown AHAR compound, for responsive cushioning and flexibility. DuoSole® outsole provides lightweight, flexible, and durable traction. Removable insole. Wt. 10.1 oz.

I was drawn to the colors of the shoes and immediately noticed that the design of the shoe closely resembles the gel nimbus (which is my favorite asics design. This shoe provides a wonderful breathable mesh toe box, but lacks the cushioning of the nimbus. Other than that its very light weight which is great for outdoor running and the mesh design provides a "freely moving foot"....almost as if you didn't have shoes on which is comfy.
Pros: lightweight, runs true to size, breathable
Cons: poor cushioning

I loved my Asics Kinsei 4 shoes. However, I'm having to send them back and exchange them for a half size larger. They seemed a little snug, so hope the bigger size will work. I wish they came in wide widths and I think the 8 1/2 would have been OK. I love the vivid colors which make them stand out and go with almost anything. They are the most expensive shoes I've ever purchased, but if I can get the right fit, I know I will really enjoy them for a long time.
Pros: lightweight, good arch support, durable, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable

I am loyal to Asics, almost afraid to try another shoe since I started with Asics. I have always felt comfortable with the Kayano series, but wanted the fun looking shoe this time. I am trying the Kinsei, and so far so good with the feel, comfort, COLORS, everything. ( I do buy separate insoles for all my running shoes for better support with any style I have chosen) These are worth the investment for me!
Pros: lightweight, comfortable, good cushioning, breathable, i love the color combination
Cons: pretty expensive for a shoe but i took the plunge

Training to walk the 3 Day, I walked 10 miles in these shoes the first day I had them with no problems. I love the bigger toe box. It is just a bonus that they lood FAB! I get comments on them everytime I wear them! They are expensive but very worth it!
Pros: lightweight, good arch support, comfortable, good cushioning

Great shoe great company my only complaint is the stitching on my wife's left foot front of the toe wasn't stitched correctly so I've got to send them back at more cost out of my pocket and then probably have to wait a month or so to get her new pair back so right now not to happy about this mishap
Pros: comfortable
Cons: stitching

The shoes are very lightweight! They are absolutely comfortable and it's nice not getting chin splints every time I run now! I did expect alittle more cushion after reading about asics from everyone's reviews but needless to say they are a great shoe!
Pros: lightweight, good arch support, durable, comfortable, breathable
