Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano 19™

Great looking, super comfortable and supportive. I use these for walking, functional training classes, standing and working in my studio and just hanging out. I forget to take them off, unlike most of my shoes. They have also held up really well. I also have the black but love the splash of color these add to all my black clothes.

These are the best shoes I've ever had for my awful feet. I have a lot of problems and have progressed from wearing custom orthotics to now wearing a type of brace on each foot. These have plenty of room to accommodate the braces. These are also my sister's favorite and she is a runner with "normal" feet.

I am a devoted ASICS GEL-Kayano fan especially for stability. It's a great shoe and I have been loyal to Gel-Kayano for last 10 years as a daily runner. I am very disappointed to see ASICs has raised the price of this already expensive sneaker again with the latest release. I think I need to begin looking for a comparable, reasonably priced sneaker next time I have to buy.

I have been a fan of Asics for years and the Kayano is the best for distance runners who need stability. Add in Zappos amazing service you can't lose. I've been running marathons and half marathons in the Kayano and I will get the next model as well!

I am an avid runner and love these shoes! This is my third pair and I like the green/pink colors because they go with everything.

Love Asics! This is my 4th pair of Gel Kayano's. I tried other brands and even other Asics on at the store, but they just don't compare to the Kayano. Ordered them from Zappos since I needed a narrow and the store didn't have them in stock. To me, they are worth the extra money.

These are great shoes. Really good stability and cushioning without being heavy. The only con is that they are so darn expensive. Also, I wear custom inserts, so support and arch wise, I can't accurately judge. I wear 9.5 2A; in normal shoes I am a 8.5-9.

These are great shoes. They run true to size, are comfortable, and last a long time. A year of wearing them four days a week. I am on my feet walking six hours of each work day.

This running shoe has wonderful springy support. I have always gotten Asics brand for running but this shoe has far more comfort than any other that I have owned.

Great comfort. Great support & cushioning. Great looks. I run close to 14 miles per week & cross train every other day. If you need good support & cushioning you'll get it with these.

Love look of the shoe however have to return. Too small. I am coming out of Asics gel-kinetic 4 in size 10 w/ otho insert and love them but I have just wore them out. Based on reviews I selected Asics Gel Kayano 19 in a 10 however once I put in the otho support they are too short and the toe box is MUCH narrower. Width wise the rest of shoe is perfect so don't want to get wider shoe so going to try up a size. As always Zappos is awesome on the exchange and return. I received the shoes today, contacted them about exchange, and the larger size will be here tomorrow. Yay!

I am in love with these shoes. I didn't realize shoes could be so squishy and cushioned. I am not a runner, but I am a hard walker with knee pains. These shoes have better arch support than most I've tried, and are worth the money for comfortable feet. I debated going with something cheaper, but it's not worth it to have pains from mediocre shoes. The colors are really fun. I'm so glad I discovered these shoes.

Ordered 1/2 size up as others suggested. Perfect. Great cushioning. Roomy toe box. GT2000 was much more confining in same size.

I have never worn an ASIC shoe before but read the reviews and thought I would try them. I bought the Kayano strictly because it had the most positives reviews. I have a wide foot and always seem to be in some kind of foot pain. I sometimes change shoes 3 times a day. I got my Asics this morning and started wearing them right out of the box. The cushioning is terrific but comfy. Sometimes when a shoe has a cushioned heel it tends to throw my toes forward. Not so in this shoe. They seem to give really got standing support but are also very flexible. Count me sold on these. I'm going to order another pair in a wilder color.

Really like this shoe. Walked 3.5 miles first time in it and felt comfortable the entire time. Very cushioned and true to size. Love the bright color!

A very well-constructed, supportive, and good-looking shoe. The pointed toe box is too cramped for me but does have a little more room than the Asics Gel-Kayano 19.

This is my daughter's second pair. She is an ice skater and uses them for off-ice exercises, jumping, running etc. Very comfortable. Highly recommend.

I am training for a half marathon and have not run for a very long time. I am stickler for Nike, but researched be caused of the time and the training and also my weight. The Asics was a brand that was recommended to me. I am so glad that I chose this over the New Balance and Brooks. My friend has actually injured herself running in her new pair of Brooks, which by the way she has worn only 3 times. I am very pleased with the Kayano 19. And will use this as my shoe of preference. Thank you!

These shoes are comfortable and long lasting. I wear them 5 days out of seven for work. I am a nurse so I am on my feet for 6 to 8 hours out of every 12 hour workday.

I am really happy with these shoes. They accommodate an orthotic in the right shoe and plenty of toe room. Wonderful that Asics sells half sizes in large sizes.

Bought these for my sister (after she wore/loved my Kayano 18). She absolutely loves them. Pure comfort!

Wonderful shoes! I've been an ASICS wearer for years. The last couple of years they changed their styles and (unfortunately) the fit and comfort were negatively impacted; so I was thrilled to see this newest Gel-Kayano have the wonderful fit and comfort I had grown to love in the past. I use orthotics and they fit great in these (once I take out the insert that comes with the shoes.) The arch support is very good. The only negative is that the grey with bright blue trim is the most conservative of the color options (which is more conservative than most on the market these days.) I look forward to styles coming back to white with non-bright trim.

I just love these shoes. I am a custodian and work on cement floors up to 10 hours a day. And yes, I am some what a little overweight and my feet stop hurting and the knees stop hurting also. This is my first pair and I have a order for more. People who work on cement floors, try these shoes.

My first Zappos purchase and I was very pleased. Shoes are great, fit perfect and were here in a very short time. Will continue buying shoes, etc. from Zappos.

Beautiful shoes that come in extended sizes (13N), which is perfect for my long narrow feet. Very comfortable and good arch support. I'm not a runner but need an everyday shoe that has a good cushion on the soles and good arch support. These are perfect for me. I had previously thought New Balance was the only shoe that came in my size, but they are ugly and heavy and too wide even in their AAAA size. Asics Gel-Kayano 19s are far superior. Zappos customer service is great, too.
