Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 17

Horrible shoe! Did not hold up, mesh tore easy along with the inside lining. I love the Asics shoes, but not this one!

These shoes are the only ones that have given me plantar fascia! I love them otherwise, but if I can't run in them what good are they? Spent a lot and now I'm bummed.

The Asics Gel-Kayano was a disappointment. I feel like I wasted the money. I have only worn them twice to exercise in. They were so uncomfortable that I have not worn them again.

This is the best sneaker I have worn in many, many years. The support if great.

The shoes are excellent. They provide great support and they are very comfortable. These shoes were recommended by a physical therapist for the quality and they live up to the recommendation.

Great shoe! This is my 3rd pair of Gel-Kayanos because they are comfortable and offer excellent arch support. I usually wear a size 8, but always have to order up to 8.5.

These Gel Kayanos were recently marked down to approx 99 from a huge amount. So, a smokin' deal. I buy a pair a year, usually full price, because these are one of the few pairs of shoes that I can count on for work. I'm an ER nurse, working 12 hour shifts in a busy ER. The health of my back is imperative, and these shoes go a long way toward preventing back pain that results from walking on hard floors for 12 hours at a shot. Great shoes. I haven't been crazy about the styling in a few years, but the integrity of the shoe remains unchanged from year to year, so I can put up with the shiny metallic accents and so forth (besides, my dislike of the styling is probably more proof of the fact that I'm getting older.) Highly recommend Gel Kayanos, especially if you can get 'em on sale!

My daughter has been wearing Gel-Kayano running shoes since model #12. She will not wear any others. These are great shoes for distance runners whose feet pronate. The Zappos price is the lowest that I have ever paid including ones on sale with a coupon.

Love this shoe! I have only bought the Kayano for the past 6 years. They are top of the line for comfort and durability. I highly recommend this shoe... and such a great deal on Zappos!

Great shoe, I wear a 11 2A and this fit the bill for comfort, support, and looks. It is so hard to find a shoe with looks and fit and this is just great, thanks Zappos.

These are the most amazing shoes on my feet ever! I am a deep discount buyer, but these shoes are worth the money! I felt like I was walking on clouds. I wear 7½ or 8, but I got these in 7½ and they fit perfectly. I cannot wait to see the 18. I absolutely love these shoes.

I love these shoes! I've had them before and I bought the same exact thing again. Very comfortable and they don't blister me like my other shoes have done in the past. Great color, it makes me look faster than I actually am.

Bought these for my wife, she opened them Xmas morning and said they fit, and they felt wonderful.

This edition of the Gel-Kayano is just as great, if not better than previous versions. I have worn 12, 13 and 14. Very comfortable for my diabetic arthritic feet enabling me to walk 3 miles a day with a lot of bounce in my step at 63, Seattle weather permitting.

My favorite running shoes. I got the 17s due to a reduction in price because of the 18s coming out. I get fewer injuries when I wear these. Stability shoes with great arch support. I get a 9.5 and usually wear an 8.5 which is pretty standard with running shoes.

Great support. I am really picky about workout shoes. Asics Kayano are the best. I do workout doing kickboxing, step etc.

I love Asics for running shoes. I once tried switching to Nike and I will never buy any other brand besides Asics again. The Kayanos are a superior running shoe with great support. I love them and highly recommend them.

First time Asics purchase and I'm in love! They are comfy and very padded and true to size. I have "old feet" and they are comfortable for step, aerobics, and kickboxing.

Great colors. I always buy this shoe as it always gives me just the right support. I do not have a very big arch so I cannot give an opinion on that.

The last to be tried on of the three pairs I ordered (the first two were disappointing, so I was not expecting much. But, lo and behold, these were cushioned, comfy, and had lots of wiggle room for the toes. Hopefully these are keepers and a little walking on the carpet should seal the deal. These are flexible right out of the box and oh so cushioned. They have a wider and longer toebox than most athletic shoes and yet my feet don't look too long or cloddy. I am a 6 1/ but always buy sneakers a half size larger. Most are still short (7 1/2 too large) but these are generous. The heels slipped a little, but lacing them on the last hole fixed that. The laces were long enough to do that and even had a little extra. The outsole is not as red as it appears on the picture. It is more pink, making it more feminine than you would think, so I was much happier with the color in person. Thanks Zappos for the fast and reliable service.

Perfect fit, perfect arch support and these athletic shoes just love your feet! I was so delighted with this pair in white that I promptly purchased a pair in black as well. I was looking for athletic shoes with great support, and my fitness counselor recommended these very highly. She was right on target! Buy them, buy them buy them! You'll wonder how your ever managed to do without these wonderful shoes. You will love them as much as they love your feet!

I have tried several walking shoes (and sent many of them back) that would be comfortable for both my wide and pronating feet... this one does the job! These shoes are light, stable, and comfortable.

I started wearing Asics years ago when another leading brand name shoe never seemed to fit or feel right when I ran. Have been running for many years and always buy Asics. I go through 2-3 pair a year and always look forward to my new ones!

I was apprehensive on spending so much money on running shoes and now that I've been wearing them about three weeks, The Kayanos are a great investment. Also some running shoes aren't as cute and I really like these Asics.

I have bought this shoe before and it is one of the best shoes for running with a lot of cushion on my feet. There is not a better running shoe for me and I run 30 miles per week.
