Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 18

I found the front of the shoe to be too wide and the shoe to be overall not comfortable. Not very cushioned. I always have worn a 9 in other brands and this 9 was too large. I sent back.

These shoes made my feet go to sleep. Just sitting with them on made my feet go to sleep so I loosened the laces and they still went to sleep. Length and width was fine. I tried them while on the elliptical and did 30 minutes. My feet were actually tingling after I got off. I'm returning them. Don't think they were that padded on the bottom. Hope I can find something that feels better.

I bought these after reading the reviews. I have heel pain and wanted a cushioned shoe. I run 3 miles a day. Out of the box they felt great. I walked around in them for an hour and then went out to run. Ouch. I got toe pain as well as pain across my arch. The toe box is so much smaller than my Cumulus 13s. Unfortunately I can't return them since I ran in them and will sell on eBay. Wonderful cushioning and support, but really narrow in the toe box. I wear an 8 1/2 but bought a 9 and still too snug.

I have been looking for a thick soled running shoe to replace my current shoes that are rather worn down. I took the plunge on these after trying them on in a store, loving how the heel was nicely hugged. After wearing them for 1/2 the day in the house my feet began to hurt, like they were too tight down the length of them. I made sure the laces were not tightened but as I sat during dinner my feet felt like they were on fire. I don't wear a wide size shoe, but with these I need it. I marked it a 2 star overall, that I felt was generous because the bottom line, these have to go back.

I have worn Asics for years and loved them however this model runs very narrow in the front and just kills my foot after an hour of walking. I have an average width foot. I can't wear them and would take them back if I could!

I bought these shoes for my trip to Europe. I have had Ascis before & loved them but these were terrible! I had blists on 3 toes! Everything there is walking and these shoes were the worst & ruined my trip. I will never buy this brand again!

I have worn the Kayano for the past 2 years, unfortunately this new version is so uncomfortable. My feet were killing me after 3 tries! I wish I can return them!
