Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 22

Love my new running shoes, not only are the comfortable and help with stability, they are awesome looking. Love buying my shoes through Zappos! :-) Note that I wear a size 7 shoe but in running shoes I wear a size 9.

My last pair Asics were Nimbus 17. I have pretty much worn them all the way out and I had planned on trying out the Nimbus 18, but I was just not a fan of any of the colors. I opted for these based on other reviewers recommendations. Overall, I like the shoe. There is quite a bit of cushioning in the heel which is great for what I need them for - walking and standing for much of the day. I am a size 8.5-9, medium width and I went with a size 9m. Fits very well. Lots of room in the toe box and sides which I find will sometimes pinch and cut off circulation in other shoes if you're an over-supinator like me. There is not as much arch support as the Nimbus 17, but I think my foot is adjusting to that.

Had a pair before. Paid more at a sports store. Love the shoe so much I had to have another pair. Zappos had the best price and free shipping. Would buy again.

The support is outstanding. I agree with other reviews. A little narrow in the toe. Glad I ordered a wider width.

I really liked the footbed of this shoe -- lots of cushioning under the heel, very springy, good arch support. But the toe box is too small. The shoe is a touch too short and it's exacerbated by being much narrower than is normal in the toe area for an Asics shoe. Because they were otherwise super comfortable, I'm trying a half size up from my normal running shoe size.

These shoes have saved my feet. Been buying them now for about 5 years. Unfortunately others are right, the newer ones are not as wide and I got a severe sore on the side of my foot. I'm a mail carrier and I walk all day, I need a good pair of shoes. Please go back to your old design.

I've worn Asics Kayano or GT for at least 15 years and this is the first time that a size 8D was too small. The shoe comparably was at least 1/2 a size smaller than previous pairs except for the last pair of GT's which were much shorter than they have ever been in my size. Every time I buy Asics there is a hole in the back of the inside of the shoe within months. This time 2 months total of wearing them. Thank you Zappos for being amazing and sending me a new pair. Next time I will definitely have to reconsider whether I buy Asics again. Too bad they fit well at first.

As some other reviews have mentioned, the toe box is not just narrow, it is cramped, so my toes hit the top (just resting). I am a big Asics fan, but these shoes feels like they were made by a different company all together.

This is my 3rd pair of Gel Kayanos (21 + 22), and over the years they have gotten me through training for 4 half marathons and a full marathon. I insert my own orthotics under the lining since I have flat feet, and that works really well. I find that they are supportive and comfortable until I clock about 350 cumulative miles of training. Great for long distance runners on roads and trails, and I use them for hikes and gym workouts too. Highly recommend!

I have purchased the Kayano 20 twice and loved them. I tried this shoe and they are totally different. Much too narrow with a small toe box. Avoid avoid avoid these shoes. Hopefully Asics will fix these issues with the next model. Wish I had listened to the other reviewers instead of wasting my time with these.

This is s great stable running and walking shoe. I run 4 or walk 8 miles five times a week and this shoe has great support.

These are great shoes for the gym. I have narrow feet and am very happy that Zappos carries Asics sneakers in narrow. I wish thhat they were a bit narrower and were available in more colors. While a few people have complained about change in fit, I found my new Kayanos 22s to be the same fit as my old Kayanos 20s.

I was having a lot of problems with the Nike running shoes that I always wore. I saw a podiatrist because I thought I needed orthotics, however he told me I just needed to buy these shoes. If you have flat feet and need a comfy, cushioned, stability shoe these are great. I have no more foot pain when I run. I am always an 8 1/2 in running shoes and I ordered an 8 1/2 and they fit perfectly.

These shoes are great. Very comfortable, and excellent cushion. However, I would recommend buying a half size up. I am usually a 7.5 or 8.0. I ordered the 8 and the shoes were tight in the toe box. I returned them for an 8.5 and they were perfect.

Very comfortable. Great shoe for heel pain. Couldn't walk in anything else. Look great too.

I have been wearing Asics Gel-Kayano for a number of years. This model seems to fit well, but for me they are everyday shoes. I do not care for the new mesh or the molded material rather than the stitching. They look cheap. I am going with a Saucony instead. Maybe Asics will go back to the previous design.

These are very stylish and comfortable. The toe box is roomy enough for my problem toes. I got a 10.5 and they could have been a little bigger.

I've purchased ASICS before as a running shoe and have never had any problems...until now. This shoe offers very little support. After the first few weeks of running, I thought the uncomfortableness was just breaking them in but now 2 months later I know it's just a shoe with crappy support. I wish I could return them and now I'm stuck with having to go buy another pair after spending so much money of what I thought would be a comfortable pair of shoes after reading all the reviews. I would suggest finding another shoe if you plan to do anything but walk in them!

I buy this brand and style every time. Love them. Use them for running, walking and at the gym. Very comfortable and love this new color.

I love my new tennies! They are so "gelicious"! I am on my feet most of the day and they felt great all day, highly recommend. I might get another color.

These shoes are awesome. I've had foot problems for about 4 years. I have a pair of Brooks Addiction which are fairly comfortable, but I wanted more color choices. I thought I would try these. They are so comfortable! I love them! Thanks, Zappos for your patience with my shoe shopping over the past couple of years.

Love these shoes. I have major foot problems, plantar faciitis, weak ankles and I broke my left foot last April. These are the only running shoes I can wear that I don't feel a bit of foot pain the next morning. Great arch support for the plantar. The wider (the 21 lacked this) sole helps support my wobbly ankles. And the foot bed has just the right amount of cushion and spring. I ordered a 1/2 up as I always do with my running shoes and it's a perfect fit with room in the toe box. Love!

If you're looking for a narrow shoe, this one's for you. I had to add a half size from the older model I had, but like these better. By the way, Zappos really does have awesome customer service. I was able to try the larger size and compare without an additional charge on my credit card. Zappos rocks!

My podiatrist recommended this shoe. I think it runs a little narrow. I usually have no problem with medium width shoes. The shoe is a mesh fabric so I have been able to stretch it somewhat. Otherwise, very comfortable.

I wasn't sure about these when I first tried them on, but they are great to run in. I thought that since there wasn't a strong arch support that I would need to add insoles, but my runs have been smooth and comfortable as is
