Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 20

Purchased as a gift for my son. Was a little concerned that the color (storm/white/rust) would be too flashy but they look really nice. They seemed to be a good fit and he was really pleased with them.

These are incredibly good looking shoes. They are nice and wide. They are very cushioned. They are perfect for wider feet. I purchased another pair as we liked them so well.

This is a great shoe if you are a over-pronator. If you are a under-pronator like me it is the worst shoe, buy only of you are a overpronator. I did not know what that was and when I got them the hurt my feet. Fortunately for me Zappos let me exchange them for a Asics shoe made specifically for under-pronators.

The Asics gel-kayano is a staple in our house. Great comfortable all around exercise shoe. Fit is always right & very durable. I keep my husband well supplied with this brand & style.

Very good shoes for those with pronation problems. I have been using Cumulus for years and switched to these this year. Very pleased. These always run a little smaller, so be sure to get .5 size up. I am normally an 11.5 and get all Asics products at size 12.

I'm a fan of these shoes. I've purchased the same model year after year. They are comfortable, durable and not too heavy. I thought the green was a stand out color, so I bought them. They fit well for someone with wider feet. I generally buy a wide version shoe, but there is no need with this model. The first time I purchased was due to a rating I read from another Zappos user, and I have loved them for thousands of miles.

I have been purchasing ASICS exclusively for years and these are the best fitting pair I have purchased (I even ordered an extra pair just to keep on hand in case they stop making this particular shoe) great fit, looks good too! I would highly recommend!

These are very comfortable and supportive. The joint at the base of my big toe is very sensitive, and the cushioning makes me able to walk much more than I could before. Sizing is accurate.

Looks better in real life and fits awesome. Very snug. The first Asics and the best I have owned so far.

This is the third or fourth pair for my 16 year old. He says they are very comfortable - he wears them for running and working out as well as for causal/school.

I've been in the Kayano series since they were introduced. Great stability (I also have orthotics) and plush ride. I get 500 or more miles from each pair (2-3 pairs/year).

Asics has a winner in the Gel-Kayano series. I've been buying them since 14 in EEEE. Great all round shoes! My feet are sensitive to plantar fasciitis. I have not experienced any pain while wearing Gel-Kayanos. The non-flexing design and great support help keep my feet pain free. Zappos is the only on-line seller that stocks them in the EEEE width.

Great shoes. I am a huge fan of ASICS shoes, and such have lived up to the expecations. Walk, run, fitness, no complains.

10EEEE fit perfectly on these Fred Flintstone feet of mine. Looks to kill with great support. Chalking up another solid transaction with Zappos.

This is my second pair having put about 800 mies on my first pair of 19s. The stability is great as I run severely supinated. Also, I am a big guy at 6'1" and 215 lbs so I need a lot of shock absorption and these are awesome. Like I said, 800 miles out of my last pair with no injuries. I have a big wide foot and these are truly wide enough for me and give me lots of room with no chafing or blistering. Best pair of running shoes I have owned.

This is my second pair of these shoes. Bought original pair on the recommendation of an employee of a sporting goods store. Great recommendation. I believe that if you are going to spend extra on clothing it should be on shoes. No other item of clothing has as much to do with your health and comfort. I have tried many brands of running shoes, including New Balance, Nike and others but I always come back to Asics because of their comfort and durability. Note that I am a 270lb moderately active male.

Great shoe, price was better than similar shoes of this quality. Negative for me - shoe strings are not long enough.

Really like the kayano 20. Very light in my opinion. Good cushioning and great graphics with the rust color!

My son says these are the most comfortable shoes he has had. We just bought a second pair, as his foot is still growing. The first pair have been worn many, many times and are still in great condition. Expensive, but worth the price.

Awesome running shoe! Comfy with great support. A bit pricey, though. Would buy another pair on sale.

*These shoes are specifically designed for customers who have moderate to severe overpronation while running. I would highly recommend visiting http://www.asicsamerica.com/shoe-finder#/ to find out what is the best shoe for your needs* With that said, I love the Kayano's. I had researched for months to find the right shoes and had found that for me it was Asics Kayano. The moment I put them on I knew this was the right fit. I had gone through many different shoes and none of them were as supportive in all the right places. While I highly recommend these shoes it is important to remember that shoes are like jeans. There are many fits, designs, and features. What is most important is finding the right fit for you. Zappos did a great job with this as I ordered the 2E and found my feet were wider than I expected ;) Zappos sent me the new pair without question or charge and let me return the previous pair when the new ones arrived. Loved that. Will not be going any were else in the future :)

Quick delivery. Very high quality finish on the shoe. I'm wearing them to work because they are stylish as well as super comfortable. I'm not a runner, I see this as a great all around shoe.

This is my first real running shoe ( kayano gel 20 112E). Recommended by a Asics store specialist after analyzing my foot and how it lands when running. I came to know I was a overpronator and this shoe was a good buy. Fit excellent and I am preparing for my first 5K. I am done with 3 weeks already and 4 more weeks to the race. Never felt any pain when I tried running with other shoes which didn't suit my foot. Will buy this again in a blink. Especially as the new version came out the price dropped from a lot to less which is a steal.

I bought these for my son, who has painfully flat feet, after looking around town and trying on a lot of less expensive shoes. It was hard to spend so much but we have never found any other style that works as well for him and I know from his last pair of Kayanos that they are so comfortable that he will most likely refuse to wear any other shoes until they fall apart. They're well made though so I'm sure that won't be for a while, which is saying a lot for a teenager's school/athletics/hanging out shoes.

I need 13/4E shoes. Zappos carried them and most local stores did not. My feet are also flat and I have had a bout of plantar fasciitis. The Kayanoss are well cushioned and treat my feet pretty well. I am very happy with them. Now if you could get my size in all colors...
