Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 20

Great shoes overall! Comfortable, stylish, excellent support. Highly recommend!

I'm in nursing and on my feet all day. These are the only shoes I can wear so that my feet don't ache every day. I buy a new pair approximately every 5 months and rotate which ones I wear every other day. Well worth the cost if you want to take good care of your feet. And the colors are fantastic!

I have high arches and narrow feet and these shoes fit great! I usually wear a 6.5/7 in Mizunos and a 6.5 in Hokas. The size 7 in the Kayanos fit perfect for running. The "stability" part of this shoe is not that noticeable, I switched from a neutral shoe and you don't feel like its restrictive. I usually wear Hokas and love the cushioning on them but these Kayanos feel like they have good cushioning. The toe box is not too big in the AA size like many running shoes. If you have narrow feet, definitely recommend the AA size. This is my first pair of Kayano and like them.

Just ordered these as they are the only running shoe that doesn't bug me over long distances and I have worn the Kayano for years. Extremely comfortable (especially for a wider foot), good for over-pronators, durable and well-supported shoe but the colors are terrible. Went with the white/island blue but would have liked some additional choices that weren't so garish.

I am a big Asics Kayano fan. I have worn Kayano 17, 18, 19 and 20. The 20s are the best by far. I run about 20 miles a week...and these make the runs so easy. I can focus on my form and not have to worry about knee or ankle pain with these. I typically replace these after 400 miles. I notice my mid-sole starts breaking down then and I need to replace. On par with most running shoes (replace after 350-450 miles). I don't mind the bright colors...I typically run when it is still dark and I am fine with them being bright and obnoxious. Runners don't mind looking like a human highlighter...haha. I wear 8.5 in "normal shoes...but order a 9 in Kayanos.

I debated for quite a while before upgrading from my Kayano 19s (which I LOVE) to the 20s. I am definitely glad that I finally decided to go ahead with the 20s; the cushioning is great, and my runs are even more comfortable now than when I ran with my 19s. I have some chronic ankle pain so I am very picky when it comes to my running shoes, and never feel anything with my Kayanos. I definitely recommend these!

These are very comfortable shoes. I don't run; but use them for working out in the gym and walking. And I know runners who love them. Good support and cushioning. When I got a minor foot sprain on the elliptical machine (in some other shoes), I wore them for the next few days and they really helped. They are expensive; I got them on a sale where they were still pretty pricey, but not out of reach. And I like the colors. They run a tad large, but I'm not sure a smaller size would work, so I am sticking with these.

I usually only buy Nike Free athletic shoes. I wanted to try something different. So glad I did. Very comfortable and I like how they look. Not the flat free I'm used to. Definitely would recommend.

These are wonderful shoes! The Kayano line is so soft and cushy I can walk longer and further - it cushions all my joints. I bought 2 pair to alternate every other day because I heard that they have more time to recover their cushion. I'm very happy with these shoes!

I believe that Asics changed the design this year and made the toe box narrower. I have been wearing the Gel-Kayanos for years and have never had a "break in" period. Just put them on and run. Until this year. Toes are going numb and I developed a hot spot on my first long run in the shoes. I will stick w/Asics, but may look for a different model.

This purchase was my first experience with Zappos. The first purchase didn't fit my daughter and I ordered a larger size which fit fine. She has a wide foot but the shoe did not come in a wide size so we tried what we thought would fit. The return policy for the first pair was easy to handle and taken care of in a prompt manner. I will be ordering more shoes from Zappos in the future.

I bought the pale green version in February and have just replaced them as I liked them so much. Comfortable, they just seem to work for my feet. Standard life for a pair of running shoes. The pale green version, whilst extremely pretty straight out of the box, is a dirt magnet (and I only run on hard surfaces & only wear to run). After a couple of weeks they look old. The Kayano 21 has just been released, but these worked so well for me, I wanted another pair. I run 7-15 miles per week.

I've worn Asics for years but this was my first pair of Kayano & it is the most comfortable pair ever. Good cushioning inside with a roomy toe box.

These Asics are wonderful! Comfort is excellent, color is great and style is great. I'm headed to Disney World, Florida next week and plan to wear my Asics daily. I love them! Thanks.

I really wanted to like this shoe. However, it felt slightly short. It does have good pronation control, stability, and fit great for my narrow heels. However, my big toes seemed to hit the top of the shoe during certain movements (not all the time, so going up a size would not work).

I always buy this shoe, and it somehow keeps improving. It provides great cushion and support and manages to be light weight. I love that it comes in black now.

Just switched from Brooks to ASICS running shoes. Great decision! The Gel-Kayano 20 is light weight, cushiony, supportive, and comfortable.

I love Asics and especially like the color. However, this particular shoe was a half size larger than others I have purchased.

Asics best Kayano yet. These shoes are light and good for runners with a slight pronation. Also these shoes have a very spacious toe box. They are great for medium or longer runs!

Am loving my new Kayano 20. Forgot what a delicious feel the new shoe cushioning can be. Together with my orthotics this shoe neutralizes my gait. Awesome! Personally, I use orthotics for my high arches and I don't find most sneakers have enough arch support.

Excellent fit, support and color. After I received these and worked out in them, I was so pleased that I ordered the pink and grey color combo. Great shoe.

I find the Kayano 20's to be equally as comfortable as my previous Kayano 19's. My normal shoe size is 7.5 and I wear an 8 in the Asics Kayano shoes. Very comfortable, not terribly hot (as I read in prior reviews). I would buy them again. I wish the color choices had been toned down; however, I find the shoe to fit my foot well and provides good arch support.

Zappos is the place to find my size 11.5. The Asics arrived quickly as usual.. Zappos has the best service and perfect selection of shoes or my long, narrow feet. That's why it's my go-to choice.

I loved these shoes. I had been told to order 1/2 size larger and they fit perfectly. Would definitely order from Zappos again.
