Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 20 Lite-Show™

I bought the Asics for my granddaughter who is a captain of a college lacrosse team. She is a hard fast runner who has problems with shin splints and she broke her ankle last year. She runs every day for practice. I talked her into trying these. Her reactions were the girls were calling them sneakers from Tiffany's. She said they are gorgeous and didn't have to break them in. She then texted me and said these sneakers are literally magical. I guess we have a winner. Perfect fit. She has not used them at night yet to see the glow.

These are comfortable right out of the box, with excellent cushioning and arch support but lightweight. I've pounded the treadmill in these every day since purchase with no break-in time. I loved the first pair so much that I bought a second pair immediately. The mint green is absolutely beautiful and the lilac is a bit lighter than it looks online but very appealing.

I bought these sneakers to replace an Asic 2000 GT. I did not like the brilliant colors offered in the previous style. These sneakers had great reviews. As soon as I put them on I knew they were right for me! They are light weight, decent arch support and wide enough toe box for me. I love the mint color but would like a pair in white. My only complaint is not finding other colors available! These are a keeper!

Best sneakers ever!

Have had these for awhile now and still in love with them. I was having a lot of issues with fit and these seem like they were made for me. I was having terrible arch and foot cramps in my Nike and haven't had any issues with these.

Everyone compliments my sneakers, I mean EVERYONE! I love the color. I am no my feet all day, and find these sneakers to be very comfortable.

I just had a total ankle replacement in July. I have tried many shoes since my surgery. These are the only ones that allow me to be on my feet at work 11 hours a day. I'm getting another pair. These were recommended by my PT.

I've worn these for three short runs and multiple walks now, and I'm finding them very comfortable and supportive. They are not super cushy, but I can tell a marked difference from my last pair (a cheaper Asics model). They didn't require any breaking in, which was nice.

The shoes are fantastic...they're comfortable, and breathe very well. I recently got a Fitbit and have been stepping in these shoes for 15,000 - 20,000 steps a day (up from a sedentary life style) and they feel fine!

I love my new shoes! Excellent for running distances - incredibly comfortable! I just ran a 5k and 10k this past weekend and was so impressed with how great I felt the entire time! Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a supportive running shoe!

Awesome shoe with 'fit' and comfort that exceeds any I have worn. Top quality and performance. I've ordered a second pair.

These shoes are perfect! Great support, I have a lot of knee and hip issues and have been looking for a pair of shoes that allow me run pain free. Not only have these shoes allowed me to run with minimal to no pain, but they are so pretty, too.

Very comfortable light weight shoes. Literature on Asics says to size up a half size which I did and they are perfect. Love the color.

I have been a runner for too many years to admit to. Not like an awesome runner...but I've been torturing myself long enough to just call myself a runner. I've tried it all and have been doing it forever and tried all of the shoes I could to see what would make my running life easier. While my running life is still hard, ASICS GEL-Kayano models always always always do right by me. Good quality shoes are so crucial and the Kayano never let's me down. Ever. I have normal, unremarkable feet which this model seems to be well suited for!

I have had the Kayano shoes in the past. I am between an 8 and an 8.5 in running shoes. I decided to buy the 8.5. I would say that the shoes run true to size. The shoes are comfortable for running or walking. I have worn them for about a month now and put at least 60 miles on them but have no blisters or other pain. The color is bright but I have not tried to use the "glow in the dark" feature yet.

Super cute shoe. I had been looking for a new pair of Asics for a while and just couldn't find the "color" that I was looking for. These are the perfect color combo and fit great.

Great shoes and awesome color. I wear athletic shoes every day to work and the gym and these are comfortable enough to get me through 12 hours on my feet.

This pair of shoes is amazing. It's super comfortable and the size is perfect too. And the color is cute! Highly recommend!

While I love Asics and these are my sixth pair, I'm puzzled by the sizing here. I just bought a pair of Gel Cumulus Liteshow 15, size 8 and these (Gel Kayano 20) size 8 and they are not the same. Kayano feels half to full size bigger. What's happening?

THE most comfortable sneakers I have ever owned. I feel like I am walking on springy clouds! The reflective properties on the shoe make walking at night a bit safer. I usually wear a size 11 but went up to a size 11.5 to allow for some extra room. I made the right decision and I LOVE my Asics Gel-Kayano!

I love these shoes. My feet feel great after a long workout and I didn't have to break them in. Expensive but worth it.

All around winner! Now I know why the Kayano were the top recommendation by my podiatrist and orthotist for someone foot injuries like me. They provide fashion as well as fantastic support. I am able to comfortably wear an ankle brace on one foot with the shoe and a regular sock on the other. I am always getting compliments on the color. I have big feet (size 11) and they make them look small. Worth the investment.

I do not usually write reviews, but I have to tell you this is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever bought! Not only that they are a real comment maker - people love the color as do I. Buying from Zappos was so easy and great price!

Amazing Asics. I usually get the Asics Gel-Nimbus but so far I've liked these even better. If they are exposed to light, the silver strips will glow in the dark for about 30 minutes. It's great if you run around sunset.

This is an amazing shoe! Pricey, but everything about it works for me. Color, true to size, built in pronation support, hot lite-show fascinates my great grands; what's not to love?
