Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano 19™

Love! 4th pair. I always order a half size or whole size larger though in the Kayanas. Like running on a cloud! Overnight shipping rocks!

Great shoe! I think Asics are a great running shoe. This one is very comfortable and the colors are great. I definitely recommend them. :)

I tried on so many pairs of shoes but none fit my feet. I tried on these shoes and they fit like a glove. My friends and siblings tried on my shoes and they liked these shoes too. They are comfortable, stylish and they make you feel like you are rich and a million bucks.

I love these sneakers. They are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. The arch support is amazing!

Amazing Asics! I tried many different brands and fits and this one works great for me. They have the perfect support and cushion combination combination which makes a perfect run.

As mentioned by another reviewer, these sneakers are wonderfully light. They have good toe box space which I need. The shoes have great support. I wear them for walking and am thrilled with their airy lightness and great fit.

I had the Kayano 15s and loved them, I got the 16s when they came out and I couldn't believe they were the same shoe. It felt like little tiny pins poking the tops of my toes, they were horrible. I bought some NB (should have sent the 16s back) and now decided I would again try the Kayano. I love the 19. It appears they gave up on the offset lacing, even though I loved the 15s, and it appears the stitching on the toebox is back to a rounded top, which thankfully does not poke into my toes. The Kayano has such good support and is light, I am tempted to buy another pair just so I have them and don't have to worry when they tweak again. I use them for walking 3 miles 5x a week. I order 1/2 size bigger than day shoes and I order wide.

I am an over-pronator with some mild arthritis in my 1st metatarsal joint. Good support and decent cushion. Lightweight for a "clunky" (non-barefoot) running shoe. These were great straight out of the box, I barely had to break them in. Pricey, but I feel like I got what I paid for, and I would buy them again. They are saving the lives of my feet!

I usually wear the basic Asics which I find on sale every year. I love the fit. I decided to try the gel kayano 19 after a workout buddy said she switched to them because they were the most comfortable sneakers she has ever worn. Well, I have to agree. I purchased the wild colored ones and they are stylish and light as air. It doesn't make your foot feel heavy. I use them for power walking and cross training. LOVE THEM!!! Zappos got them here in a day!! Extraordinary service which has only gotten better over the years.

Great shoe- supportive, durable, and comfortable. I have been wearing the kayanos for years, and most of the changes they make with each model are good (although I disliked the 18- it didn't fit right and I had problems when I ran longer distances). The 19 is great- it is lighter, yet it isn't missing any support or cushioning. I would definitely recommend it!

These are the best running shoes I've ever had. I've tried other brands and Asics Kayanos are always the best. Over past 3 years, I've had the Kayano 17, 18, and 19. I'm completely in love with this model, way better than the 17 and 18 versions. They are extremely light, have great support (I have flat feet and weak ankles), great traction & bounce, and very comfortable. Great for long runs. Just finished a half marathon with these shoes. Every time I put these shoes one it's like putting my feet in a cloud. They are expensive but worth every penny if you are a runner. I run about 20-30 miles per week and these shoes are really holding up after months.

This shoe is great looking, built well, has good support. I wear them regularly to run about 3 miles per day. I am a pronator and this shoe offers great support. I read reviews and ordered 1/2 size up. Fit great As usual, Zappos is unbeatable. Love Zappos.

Flexible, non bulky or heavy shoe. I wear custom orthotics that fit in these shoes well (when I take the inserts out). In dress shoes I'm a 7 but in Asics I'm a 7.5. I just started to transition to chi/natural running and I was worried that I'd need a more minimal shoe to do it but these are working fine so far. I run on the road (never trails). I ran in my Gel Kayano 18s for almost 400 miles and they still felt good & were only just starting to show signs of wear- just felt it was time to treat myself to new sneaks.

By far the best running shoe I have ever had! Some of the other shoes I have tried I get sore hips, not in these. They have great support, cushion and light weight. I have had 16, 17, 18 and these are the best yet!

I have worn the Kayano 17, 18, and now 19 and this is my favorite model! I actually went up a half size and find the shoe very comfortable. It offers great support and cushioning. I wear mine for power walking as well as kick boxing. Very happy with the fun color choices as well!

Perfect running shoes! I get the same pair every 6 months and they are fabulous! I am a 7.5 in dress/casual shoes but always go up a full size in these running shoes (I do wear padded socks, though!).

I love these shoes! I had purchased a pink pair of Asics in October and had an issue with all of the padding in the heel coming out. The customer service department was very helpful in helping me find a new pair to exchange. I have flat feet and a narrow heel. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever had! I ordered this in the black/pink the next week!

Was looking for a new gym shoe and I really liked the design of this one. I haven't jogged in it, I mainly just wear them when I'm running errands and to the gym. Overall I like the shoe; however, I found that after wearing them for a while I should have got a half size smaller. I normally wear a size 9, should have gotten an 8.5.

I ordered this shoe becaues I am training for a half marathon and needed a shoe that would support my feet and last through the last part of my training. Everyone said I should go with Asics. This shoe hurt the arches of my feet and the corresponding bone on the outside of my foot. I started getting horrible foot cramps during my work outs - to the point I'd have to change shoes. I wore these for high impact arobic exercise indoors on three occasions, plus around my house to try and break them in and they were awful. I returned them.

These are great shoes. I have a narrow foot and high arch. I wouldn't say the arch support is super great for people with high arches - but it's much better than other shoes. I like these a lot! Giving only 4-stars because of the price (c'mon!).

A well made shoe but a smaller toe box than I like. I bought size eights which normally fit well but these run small. The 8 1/2 was too big unless I laced them really tight. I kept them but when these where out I will search for a better fit. These are good for stability and comfort when you add a padded arch support.

I have been looking for a replacement to the Gel Cumulus for a few years now as that shoe was changed in ways that just didn't work for me. I have tried many shoes, such as several variations of Brooks, Reebok, Pumas and Newtons. I finally decided to try these after seeing some great reviews. I must say I am finally happy with my running shoes again. These are very cushy, they have a flat, stable base (I tend to walk on the outside of my shoes, and with many that correct the opposite problem I have to shop hard to get ones that don't -- these work!), I like the wild colors, and they fit really well. I'm always a whole size up in my Asicis running shoes (bought these in a 9.5 when I normally wear an 8.5 in regular shoes). My only complaint is the price, as they're very expensive but I find that they're well worth it. Enjoy!

Lightweight shoe that moves easily especially on a studio floor - pivots, side and forward, back movement. Shoe laces too short for use of extra eyelet and they are of poor quality. Stitching on inside of shoe bothersome for a bony foot. This shoe seems too expensive for those reasons.

As always, Asics does a great job with making comfortable well-made shoes. I've never had to worry about breaking-in time with my Asics. I bought the Gel-Kayano 19 as my latest pair and love them. I used to have trouble with my toes bleeding after long runs with other shoes but the toebox area for these are all mesh and expand if necessary, which is SO great! The only downfall I can think of is that I have very high arches and there isn't as much support as other shoes might have. Otherwise, they are fantastic shoes.

In wide, these run much narrow than my wide running shoes in Saucony. Could see the difference just by comparing the soles--and could barely fit my foot into the shoes. Too bad. It's cute.
