Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 22

These shoes are great. Asics Kayano are the only shoes that don't give me break in blisters. They are perfect for my feet. They were on my door step in no time. Thank you Zappos.

I'm not in love yet, but they are the best of 3 other pairs I tried. They do have great cushion, but feel heavy. Hoping once I break them in I'll like them alot. As a note, these are true to size for Asics, but do run short compared to other brands.

There can't be a better running/walking shoe for a narrow foot with high arches than Asics , and the KAyano is the best especially at the price zappos discounted to! I love this shoe. But what I really wanted to review was the excellent costumer service I received from zappos representatives. When I began this purchase I was looking for sandals to fit my narrow, arched foot. I did 4 exchanges before I gave up on the sandals and bought the Asics . Each rep I dealt with over the 6 week period was pleasant, professional, and informed . They each went out of their way to process orders, exchanges and make sure a coupon was applied to each exchange. Hard to imagine better service than what I received! Thanks zappos team!

Wow...this is way too narrow for my skinny foot. It fits more like a "slender" and even 1/2 size larger was a bit too short. I would order full size up and try a medium for width to expect any satisfaction. I am returning this otherwise comfortable shoe.

I wish the toe was just a bit wider, but these are great with the gel, feels very cushy. Love the navy and hot pink. Shoelaces are easy to lace up, and just the right length. Heel is snug, and just right. Very good for flat, over pronated feet. Ordered a half size larger and wide width instead of medium, as I wear orthotics.

These shoes run small.....order a half size larger. They were comfortable from the minute I put them on.

Finally a narrow running shoe. I absolutely love it and think that I should buy a few extra pairs just in case ASICS discontinues this model. I have worn ASICS for the past 6 years and this is by far my favorite running shoe!

I've been working out for over 35 years, and these are the worst sneakers I've ever worn (and I was running even before sneakers were a big deal.) I've been wearing the Gel Kayano for the last 4 years. I have triple A narrow feet. The 22 version (in narrow), were so narrow in the toe that I developed a bunion on my right foot. i should have listened to my feet, but thought that they would be OK if I switched to thinner socks. Now I have a bunion which causes pain when I wear any of my shoes ( or just brush up against something) and nothing seems to ease the pain. I don't understand why designers feel the need to so call "upgrade" every year when they already have a great product.

I'm really disappointed in these shoes, I've lived in Asics ever since I was diagnosed with Planters Fasciitis and have always felt these shoes were a bargain related to the pain, but in just a few short months these shoes have lost their support.

I love this shoe so much it is the second pair I have purchased. Love to order and have them on my doorstep the next day!

Perfect, perfect, perfect. I was nervous when I read that others found this shoe too narrow after comparing to previous 'models' of the same shoe. This fits me exactly like the last 2 pair of Kayanos I've purchased--medium is just that...medium...and just right! Love the colors on this shoe and the comfort is incredible. Perfect for the tremendous amount of walking I do in Boston on uneven surfaces to hitting the treadmill at the gym. The sale price made them even sweeter! Thanks Zappos!

I started running half marathons earlier this year and the first pair of real legit running shoes my local running store recommended was these. I'm wearing down my original pair so bought a second pair. For me, they required no breaking in at all, wore them on a 7.5 mile run the first time I wore them with no problem! My right foot is slightly larger than my left so after about 10 miles I start to get rubbing on my inside heel but nothing that some anti-friction stick can't solve. I've got plantar fasciitis and these are supportive out of the box, I don't even wear inserts with them.

I read the reviews about this being smaller than the Gel Kayano 21. The length is correct. The problem is the toe bed. It slopes down and is narrower, which crowds my toes. I miss the wide, higher toe bed of the Gel Kayano 21 and previous.That was what set it apart from its competitors. Don't know if a wide width would compensate. I'm returning mine.

Ordered next size per recommendation from previous customers . These are to small, and to narrow. So am returning both pairs

didn''t even open this box, I ordered to sizes -- my reg size and the next size per remarks from previous customers.

I'm super-confused about the many people saying these are narrow. My feet are wide enough that I rarely even try to stuff them into women's shoes, because the wide sizes are never wide enough. But I needed a shoe that would help with an aching achillles tendon, so I took a chance on the D width. They're really comfortable and my heel is slowly getting better.

I have worn Asics Gel-Kayanos for many years. They were my favorite running shoes and now that I don't run anymore, I still buy them for walking and the gym. I love the fit of the "22".

I have run in Asics Gel Kayano for 8 years without a problem (I buy a new pair in the same size annually, normal width) and this is the first year the shoe did not fit as it was too narrow in the toe box and is very uncomfortable. It appears that the design as changed for the Kayano 22- very disappointing purchase. I cannot wear these shoes for running anymore.

This shoe looks nice and is very comfortable, BUT the quality is VERY poor, especially for the price... I bought a pair 4 months ago and the sole is already coming apart in the front and back- the whole back of the right shoe is flapped open. I only wear these shoes 3-4 days a week while at work, so there is not a lot of wear-and-tear. I have owned many pairs of Asics and this is the first pair to do something like this. I am very disappointed!

First, let me express how very much I like ordering from Zappos! These shoes are great,and my third pair, of Asics. I ordered these one half size larger, and I'm glad I did! They do run small, but, are comfortable. Yes, I would recommend to a friend!

Too narrow. This was my favorite hiking shoe. They sadly changed the design.

I would recommend Zappos to anyone who likes great service. I have and will always do business with Zappos.

Most comfortable running shoes, ever!!!! I finally found a pair of running shoes that fit perfectly and provide substantial cushioning for my feet. Love these shoes!

I disagree with the reviews that state these run narrow. My podiatrist has been after me for awhile to get this particular pair of Asic's. I have very narrow feet but because of the review ordered the medium width. Now I'm regretting and wishing I'd have ordered the narrow width. The comfort is great. I really like these shoes wish I would have bought sooner. Im a nurse and I'm on my feet for long hours and severely flat footed.
