Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® Trainer

Very comfy workout shoe - I have pretty wide feet and some styles pinch. No problem with these shoes and there's plenty of cushioning. I only rated the look a 4 because the shoe's tongue seems really puffy-looking, but that's just a personal preference. I wear a 9 in most street shoes and 9.5 for most workout shoes. The 9.5 of these Kayanos is perfect.

Great shoe for aerobics - I go through shoes quickly and have tried many shoes from Zappos based on customer reviews. So far Asics is the best shoe ever for my jazzercise classes. Asics seem to be the only company who understands when you take aerobic classes you need support on the ball of your foot! So many cross trainer or aerobic shoes don't have that support. I need the cushioning of a runner shoe with lateral support! I will definitely buy another pair of these shoes soon!

Love this shoe! I tend to have flat feet and needed a good shoe to wear to workout in, especially since I take classes. My arches don't hurt anymore now that I got these shoes.

Great cross trainer! These shoes have great cushioning, especially in the forefoot. They are a bit heavy compared to my previous cross trainers, which is my only complaint. I only gave a 4 star on the look because I'm not real fond of the metallic color. I would have preferred non-metallic. They run small, so order a 1/2 size up. I use them for my Nordic Track and weight training/aerobic classes and so far I really like them. As usual the service with Zappos is the best ever. Every company should model their customer service this way. Thanks Zappos!

Good aerobic shoe - I really like this shoe for jazzercise. I highly recommend this shoe if you’re looking for a good cross trainer sneaker.

Nice shoe - I bought this as a cross trainer and follow up to my pair of Asics Gel-Nimbus, which I love. I wish they had a firmer, higher heel (personal preference). I find this shoe fits true to size and I have large feet. The toe box is somewhat smaller than the Gel-Nimbus. I would definitely buy another pair.

A good shoe...a solid trainer - I have searched high and low for a trainer and a good one is tough to find. I have only used this shoe several times but thus far, it feels and works great. Even more, it looks good.

Disappointed - I was very disappointed with this shoe. I have had 4 pairs of the Gel Kayano running shoes and love them. I returned the first pair because they were too narrow and thought a larger size would be more comfortable. The larger size was too big and did not have any arch support so I'm returning them too. These shoes do not compare to the Gel Kayano running shoes. Great service from Zappos with both returns though.

I ordered these because I love my Asics running shoes and needed a cross-trainer for the gym. My running shoes fit my somewhat wide feet nicely, but the trainers were too narrow in the toe box. They seemed like they would be comfortable if they had fit correctly. I really hate the metallic look of the new styles coming out. They were extremely flashy and gaudy.

Walk/running shoe - I have flat feet and I walk very fast. I needed a shoe with a lot of arch support. Sometimes I run. This shoe provided no support whatsoever. My feet actually hurt after walking in them. It was even fitness walking was doing. I only wore them about three times walking my dog. The shoes are completely worn down.
