Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 13

Great shoe...7th pair for me - No more knee pain. This shoe provides just enough support and cushion.

Love them Kayanos - I ordered the Kayano 13s because I had initially bought the Kayano 12 as my first pair of ASICS and loved them from the moment I put them on. Unfortunately the 12s are last year’s model otherwise I would own about 6 more pair of them...I liked the colors better on the 12s but other than that they are very, very good.

Love these shoes!! I am new to running and bought these on the advice of a friend. They are a bit wider in the toe, but it works for me. Would recommend them to anyone that pronate a bit and needs that extra stability.

Great shoe! I just bought this shoe last month (after a long search for the perfect fitting sneaker), and it's been wonderful. Lightweight, but good for stability, it's perfect for running with my overpronating feet.

MB - Good shoe for orthotics. Recommended by my podiatrist. This is my second pair. Wish there were more color choices.

Outstanding - Most comfortable sneaker ever. Great arch and heel support. Roomy in the toe area. Overall best comfort ever.

Gel-Kayano 13 - These seem to be slightly larger than my GK12's that were the same size. I tried on the size 8 and they seemed too tight, so I stuck with the 8.5, which was what I had in my GK12's. I just wear a slightly thicker sock, which is okay for now - not so sure about summer-time. Aside from this, I still love this shoe. They are light-weight, they breathe well, and my feet have never hurt while exercising in them (I use for everything, running, walking, fitness classes, etc.). They don't need breaking in - they're perfect right out of the box.

My third pair! This is my third pair of these shoes. I tend to pronate slightly and used to have foot problems. Not any more... These shoes tend to be somewhat pricy but WELL WORTH THE MONEY. They are so so comfortable. In regular shoes I wear a size 9 but I wear a size 91/2 in these for a perfect fit.

Another Great Version of the Kayano - I am a loyal Asics wearer and have fallen in love with the Kayano series. My last pair of Kayano’s was the Kayano-10. I loved them so much, I bought 3 pairs and used and abused all of them. The 13 is good, although I still think the 10's are better. The 13 is much roomier in the front. I usually go up a 1/2 size in the Kayano, but surprisingly the Kayano-13 was true to size. I ended up returning the ones I originally ordered and getting them in my true size.

Asics - I love this shoe. Asics are the only shoe I can wear because I have such narrow feet. I have pretty high arches but the arch support is pretty good. These shoes are the best for stability and cushioning. I've tried others because these are so expensive but I always come back to the Gel-Kayano. I guess you get what you pay for.

Finally - After searching through the lower priced Asics, I finally found one that is amazing! I am not a high mileage runner, but I appreciate a good shoe. I run ~5-7 miles 3 times per week and wear these shoes to the gym. Have to say they saved me at a 3 day conference where I stood most of the day in the back of a crowded room. ~Worth the price if you wear them a lot! ~ Put Road Runner Sports (RRS) Neutral+ Insoles in too and would highly recommend. 13mi/day runner suggested them and I love them. Just Google it. Would put in all shoes...

Still the best - Although Asics does make good shoes in general (running, volleyball) there is no better running shoe for fit, comfort and durability. I was concerned about the new model (13) because sometimes a new model means a new fit. It feels just as good as ever!

Thank you, Asics - I've been using strictly Asics running shoes for the past 2 years, because they are the most comfortable, supportive shoe I've tried. And finding a great shoe in a size 12 is always close to impossible, so I was very excited to see this shoe recommended for overpronators like me, and in a size 13, too!! They are very comfortable to jog in, and they look good, too. My only wish is that it would come in some other colors, like light purple or pink or something cute like that. The size is right on, and I have to wear orthotics. I would definitely buy this shoe again and recommend it to my friends.

Asics Gel-Kayano - This shoe is really great for a narrow foot like mine. I am struggling with heel pain and this has been a great help (plantar fasciitis).

Finally a Great Fit! This was my first time buying Asics and I must say that I'm very impressed! These shoes stretch in all the right places and they hug your feet. I have bunions and considered a wider size, but the tens I tried on felt perfect! Will buy Asics again!

Still the best - I have bought these shoes for the past five years and they are well worth the money. They can really last the miles and don't put pressure on the tops of my big toe the way other running shoes can do.

A must have! These are the greatest running shoes! Very true to fit, and the picture is exactly how they look. They are comfortable and light to wear. This is my 3rd pair and I will continue to purchase them. Zappos is great on customer service and their shipping rocks!

Great Shoe! Highly Recommend - I purchased this shoe after reading a review that discussed over-pronating. After having a baby, and putting on more weight than I desired, I would go to the gym and workout an hour in other shoes, and my toes would go numb. So far, these shoes have not caused my feet any pain! The arch support is relatively decent, and the shoes are very comfortable. The regular width seemed a bit tight to me, but I ordered them in a wide and the wide is very roomy around the ball of my feet. I no longer over-pronate or even under-pronate in these shoes. They are also very breathable...I can almost feel air running through the mesh over my toes! I'm sure they will be great for hot summer days. Very attractive shoe.

Great comfort, great fit. I purchased these sneakers because I was having a problem with my feet. I was going on a trip with my kids that required walking ALL day. The sneakers were great. They offered support; cushioning and they let my feet breath. Zappos price was the BEST around -- and I checked everywhere. Hurray for them. Best of all... I ordered them Thursday and I was leaving the next week, and I had them in time to go. Bravo.

Fantastic! Love these running shoes. They have great arch support and hug my foot when I run...super!!!

Kayano 13 - Love these shoes - these are high mileage shoes! Very comfy - I felt that these ran small though so I had to return and get a whole size up.

Most comfortable shoe - This is a great shoe. I tried these against the Asics 2120s and, while those are great, these truly feel like the next step up that they are. Great through the arch, light, cushioned. Super shoe. I have the gold/silver ones and I am _not_ usually a gold shoe girl; they are rather neutral and go with all your running outfits (if you care about that sort of thing). Enjoy your runs and walks!

Not as comfortable as the older version. The wide width was comfortable, but the "spring" not as good as a cheaper Asics that I kept.

Narrower than usual - This is my seventh or eighth pair of Gel Kayano sneakers. They have always been terrific for running with a great fit and no break in. However, this new pair, as someone else mentioned, seems narrow. I thought at first they just needed to break in, but not the case. This is the first time I have been disappointed with this sneaker.
