Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 22

I loved the color combination. These run small, order a size up and/or maybe a wider width. They seem well made. I thought the inner sole felt hard, not cushiony.

Love this shoe! The support is terrific, am not a runner but this is the only shoe I walk in all the time. For a 9 1/2 size, because of the styling they make the foot look smaller. The colors are sharp. Have worn one other style of Asics but much prefer the Kayano for its better support.

I love these Asics! I usually don't buy running shoes that are this expensive but I really noticed a difference in the support. They look and feel great and I recommend them highly.

ASICS COMPANY: I am so mad at you. I've worn Kayanos now for 10 years or so and the WIDE ones are suddenly too tight, gave me blisters the first time I wore them FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. Other reviewers said so but I didn't believe it. The wide are like narrow + size. Why change a perfect sneaker? So disappointed but I won't return them because I hope I can break them in, you know, like a cheaper sneakers has to be. Booooo Asics. Don't buy these sneakers if you need wide. Buyer beware.

Very disappointed by this shoe. Ascis gel shoes have been my most comfortable sport shoe for some years now. Tthis model has a toe box is so narrow my toes hurt and I have narrow feet. Doesn't fit well. Instead of mesh, the shoe is covered in a perforated plastic material, so my feet get hot. And no arch support.

I've bought Gel-Kayano's for as long as I can remember and never had an issue with fit. This version is definitely more narrow in the toe box. I exchanged for a 1/2 size larger, and it still feels narrow. Not sure I can use them for running as I am training for a marathon so not worth the risk. I'll exchange for another pair of 21's instead.

Great shoe. I use mostly for walking and cross training. I was having heel trouble and it seems to help alleviate any pain. It is not a light shoe. Fit is great.

I run about 20 miles a week and have loved the Gel Kayano 19 and 20. I just purchased the 22 and they do not disappoint! I'm also obsessed with the colors!

This is my third pair of Asics Gel- Kayanos. I absolutely love them. The cushion, stability, and arch support are great. These will be my new running shoe after breaking in for a couple days. I love the colors! Asics does not disappoint! If you have a high arch these are perfect. My feet currently feel like they are walking on clouds!

After buying numerous pairs of sneakers these were well worth the wait! They are so comfortable! I do boot camps and walk in these. They provide great support and cushioning! I highly recommend them.

These shoes are amazing! I pronate terribly and require a wider width and the Kayano 22 fit the bill! The cushioning in the bottom feels great even after a long run! I will buy them again!

So sad! What happened to Asics? These killed my feet cushioning sucks and the toe design blows. It makes your foot look long and skinny. I have been recommending Asics for years, now I don't think I can my last pair of 21s only lasted 3 months (I work in these and typically get 6months before I start to notice a break down, the 20s were awesome). I hoped the 22s were better, sadly no! I'm going to try the Nimbus again I only changed to the Kayano thinking bigger (in price) had to be better.

My last pair of Asics Gel-Kayano 22s were the most comfortable running shoes I've had. These did not fit the same at all. Different toe box. Disappointed because I love this color combo!

These are aawesome running shoes! I went from the Kayano 21 to these and they have the same phenomenal support while fitting my feet very well. The only downside that I have found is that they are a bit heavier than the 21 but that is not overly noticeable when I am wearing them! All in all, I definitely suggest buying these shoes!

This is my fourth pair of GEL-Kayanos. I went from the Kayano 20 to the 22, skipping 21 due to the fit problems people were reporting in their reviews. These were very nearly like my beloved 20. I wear 8N in dress shoes, and 8½ in running shoes. I tried the 8½N Kayano 22, but it was too narrow even for me. I sent them back for the tried and true 8½M, but they are just slightly shorter than my 20 in the same size. Sadly they are going back. I am pretty sure that the 9 will be too long and too wide. Darn! I love my GEL-Kayanos!

Boy was I disappointed with this model; too roomy, no support. I do not know what Asics did with the top of this shoe; it is not the same and my foot just moves all over the place when I run. Unfortunately, I am returning them.

I was disappointed to order both the blue and the black in this style and find radical differences in sizing. The black pair felt noticeably smaller in length and width - possibly 1/2 size or more. That said, overall the shoe provided a wide toe box and the arch support I need. Due to injuries and a small frame, I prefer a shoe with less cushion and find that the Kayano - while great for others, is too substantial for me so, I will be returning both pair. Otherwise, a great shoe! And of course, 5 star service from ZAPPOS!

These are the most excellent walking sneakers for me! I have extensive health issues with my entire spine, legs and feet. I live in chronic nerve, bone and muscle pain daily. I can't really get out much, especially to go shoe shopping. These sneakers are remarkable. The search is finally over! This girl is stocking up! Nothing is more important for me than having the right pair of walking sneakers that I can depend on for total comfort. They actually give me pain relief by at least 2 levels, that's how much they matter. Love! As always, Zappos can't be beat for shopping on line. They are very generous with their time and they make good on any exchanges. Love them.
