Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 20

Same old solid Asics Kayano. Pretty sure I have bought every version since #15. Just a great all around shoe.

I have gotten several generations of them to wear on the public transit and walking commute. I love them. They are light, comfortable, and durable.

The shoes look nice, feel great, and fit perfectly! I'm no shoe expert, so if you want a more technical review, look elsewhere! Zappos has always provided great service.

I haven't had a pair of Kayanos since about 10 or 11...these 20's are amazing. Most comfortable shoes I've ever felt...right out of the box! I have mild pronation, these are just the right amount of control. Pricey, but worth it. Love them!

I really wanted the rust color, so I did nit purchase from Zappos, but I would highly recommend their customer experience any day. They are the best online retailer that I have ever dealt with. The Kayano 20s are awesome. I have flat feet and the multidensity motion control makes these shoes super stable without the uncomfortable rock in the arch that some supportive shoes give me. I wear an 11 in running shoes, and they are true to size and width. Great cushioning in the forefoot bed and an overall very comfortable shoe. The new materials for the upper and the new style heel counter are great. Perfect evolution. Thesea er great shoes.

I have owned both the Kayano 18 and 19 prior to this pair. I have Cerebral Palsy and flat feet. So the extra arch support is great for me.

Very comfortable! I felt they were a little narrow at the toe - at least for my feet, and I may have been better ordering a wider shoe, but buy the time I realized it, I had already worn them and it was too late to exchange them. Overall they're extremely comfortable. Great cushioning.

I've been wearing these shoes since version 15(?) and I've liked every pair. They offer lots of cushion and come in half sizes even in the larger size range. The nicer color combos sell out fast but thankfully they continue to make this shoe year after year.

Best running shoe I have ever bought. I take 4E and it fit perfectly. True to length size. Most comfortable bottom for my flat feet. Great for moderate pronation also.

My husband loved theses running shoes!

Great, lightweight, very comfortable. Good arch support. Runs a bit smaller and you are better off to order 1/2 size up to have better toe room. Highly recommend it.

Love these shoes - very comfortable and cushioned for workouts and daily wear. I wear a 13EEE normally, but ordered these in 14EEEE. They are wonderful for my hard to fit feet.

These were a gift for my husband. He uses them more for walking but has run in them also. There was very little "breaking in" needed. Also, they are good for flat feet.

I have owned 1 pair of 18's, 3 pairs of 19's and now these 20's. The 20's are more similar to the 18's- which is a good thing. I'm a 240 pound frequent marathoner aspiring to be an Ironman. These shoes give the support I need to avoid breaking down my big body (at least more so than the Altra Paradigm, Reezig Distance Light, or any of the various Nike products I have tried). They are also available in a 13.5 4E!

These shoes gave me metatarsalgia and neuroma (which go hand in hand I think, a swollen metatarsal head will sandwich the nerves between the other heads and give you that neuroma burn). I am not sure why, I think part of it is that the shoes are very narrow even in a 4E but on top of that the fluid fit makes your toes even more constricted. I think the gap in the guidance line creates issues as well. I thought that I would be an Asics runner for life, but I have moved on to New Balance because they are still true to traditional 4Es.

I bought these shoes and felt they were the worst shoes ever and Zappos took them back and said they must have been defective. I later found out these are the worst shoes for under pronators and I am a extreme under pronator. They are very good shoes only if you are a over-pronator.

I am a walker who wears running shoes. I have worn Asics for a long time, and always found it to be a great shoe, but with so many choices and changing styles, this time around I decided just to pay more money figuring I would get a better shoe. If I had tried varying sizes of this shoe I may have found a better fitting one, but I found myself moving all over the place in the shoe, and it did not fit well, and not the kind of support I needed. A great shoe from a great shoe company, but getting the right fit is the most important. In the end, Zappos took back the shoes and I bought a lower priced shoe, that fits like a glove, that I am very pleased with.

I got these from Zappos, loved the color and design but after running in 5 generations of these I had to return them because this time they made the toe box too wide for me and my foot slips around. Had to move move on to Brooks.

Not for use with orthotics. Tried to wear this shoe with custom orthotics after about 30 minutes my knees were killing me despite all the gel. I was only standing and walking around the house and still could not escape the pain. If you use orthotics, look elsewhere.

These are truly the worst shoes I have even worn. Just two months old and I rarely wear them for walking and they are already worn out. I just walked for 20 minutes and my feet, shins and knees are killing me. I think I maybe got a defective pair. But they were rather expensive yet they lasted only six weeks with rarely walking in them.

I was very happy with my new Asics Gel-Kayano 20"s for 2 days. After that the right shoe started to squeak/chirp like a truck in reverse at every step. The chirp has gone on for days now and I just about can't stand it. I know they can't be returned as new, since they've gotten slightly dirty, so I asked for help from a customer service rep. I was told that squeaking is not a manufacture defect and that I should let them dry out and put powder in the shoe. That was absolutely no help since the shoes were never even damp. I did put powder in anyway and left them to dry for 2 days but the squeak was there on the first step today. I've bought several pairs of shoes from Zappos previously and have never been disappointed like this.
