Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 22

So comfortable! Feels like a firm sleep number mattress inside the shoe! Colors are great - welcome to spring! I'm excited to see how they feel beyond two days wearing them around the house.

I never spent this much for sneakers. They are worth every penny to me! I used to wear New Balance (I have wider feet) until my boyfriend turned me on to Asics gel-kayano 22. By far, the best sneaker ever. They are so comfortable, I really can forget to take them off. True to size. This is my first ever review btw.

This is my close to my tenth pair of ASICS. I have found the Kayano to be the best fitting for my foot. My arch tends to be in an off position and I have tried everything on the market and always end up back with the ASICS. I do circuit training five days a week. No running, bad knees. Love this color but for some reason the 22s do not feel quite as comfortable as the 21s did. I will keep them as my 21s are worn out.

These sneakers have saved my poor aching feet. I was having severe pain in my foot due to various issues. This specific brand was one recommended by my orthopedist as being very stable, roomy and comfortable. He said that wearing a running sneaker would be better for me than one for walking. He was correct on all accounts. After wearing them for a couple of months all pain disappeared. Pricey but considering the result well worth the money.

I like Asics to begin with because they are available in larger sizes. This pair was recommended in a running magazine for stability and padding. They are great! They are so comfortable and they seriously put a spring in my step! I normally wear a WW but the 13D is fine. I like the all over support of this shoe and it's fashionable as well. A rarity in my size.

These are my first Asics. I bought them based on recommendations from other Zappos clients. They are very cushiony and it is very comfortable to walk in them (my preferred exercise). I like that the colors are not too wild. I never have wanted my size 13 feet to glow in the dark. Oh, and thank you, Asics, for making a women's 13!

So far, so good. I agree with others that the toe box is smaller on version 22, but it has not been a problem for me. If the front of your foot is wide, I suggest buying a wider width or half size larger. I am wearing the same size 5 that I wore in the version 20. I run and walk 10+ miles a week and have been replacing my Asics about once a year. I have mild plantar fasciitis and need a shoe with excellent support and cushioning.

This is the first time I bought this brand and I love it! I have a narrow foot so was concerned that only the medium was available. Turns out to be perfect - it does run narrow. It is a terrifically comfortable shoe.

I love these shoes! This is the second pair of gel kayano shoes that I have had and I am sold. I normally wear an 11 narrow and have to size up to an 11 1/2 on these but the narrows fit me perfectly. I mostly walk in mine as I don't really run much and the arches and cushion are very supportive and keep my plantar fasciitis at bay. Unfortunately, asics does not make the narrows in all of the colors so I don't always love the color combinations they have but I will sacrifice style for comfort here.

This is a great shoe. Comfortable if just a touch narrow for me. Really easy on my knees and ankles. This is my first pair of Asics, a little pricey but worth it.

I wanted sneakers that would compensate for my foot pronation but I did not want neon colors. These are lightweight shoes with a broad base that feels cushy enough to make walking linger distances comfortable. I ordered them half a size larger than my normal size and they fit well.

This new model is the Gel Kayano that I have always loved! But DO follow the other reviewers - I'm normally a medium B width, but chose the wide - fit is perfect. Not sure what Asics did with the sizing this year, but the wide definitely fits like a medium width. Love the overall cushioning, support, and fit of this runner.

I haven't worn these yet but am glad I tried them on in a store and read other reviews before ordering. They run small in the toe area so I ordered a wide width and they fit well. My opinion is to try them on in a store before purchasing online!

I have a heel problem, plus I have a very narrow foot 4 A, so need something that would give me support in the heel area and not feel too wide. So far these have been very comfortable, I have not worn Aspics before. I usually wear a 8 1/2 AAAA, so I bought a 1/2 size larger 9 AA and them seem fine with socks.

I bought these for my daughter. She absolutely loves them! The color is great and not something I've seen in stores.

The Aspics Gel-Kayano 22 is an excellent shoe for running. It works for walkers too. I have flat, narrow feet and pronate and these shoes accomodate for all of these issues. I have been running in the Kayano for several years. I bought the Kayano 20 three or four times and then upgraded to this latest version and I am happy with them. The look great too.

I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I've worn Gel-Kayanos for years and I like the 22's best of all. I thought the 21's were too narrow and didn't like how I much I had to loosen the laces in order to wear them comfortably. The 22's are also a more fitted shoe than the earlier models, but the fabric is very different (at least on the black/coral color) and feels supportive rather than tight. My custom orthotics still fit well in this model too. The 22's are not as easy to slip on, but if you don't mind adjusting the laces for a perfect fit and giving a little extra push to get them on since the fabric has less give, I think you'll love how the new design fits.

Yes! I love them! Worth the price. Very comfy & fit well. I wear a 10 in normal shoes & ordered an 11. Perfect! I would highly recommend.

These are great shoes for any type of workout. I do strength or cardio in them. They are a little heavier than the Nike Free but they provide much more support. I found the Nike Free to not provide enough support when running. Overall these shoes are great and I will be purchasing more like them in the future!

I bought these as a gift for my wife. The Kayanos have long been her favorite for trail running, and this color combo beats white in that it doesn't look filthy after running a wet trail. They ran a half sized smaller than she remembers, so we had to bump up.

These are really cute looking and the orange color is bright. The medium width seems narrow in the toes, but they stretch.

I've been wearing Asics Gel Kayando for years and years. Each model is a bit different, but essentially the same fit. Not the 22. Ordering the same size I've always worn, there seems to be an extra inch at the end of the shoe beyond my toes. Will exchange.

I keep coming back to Asics shoes, after being disappointed in other expensive top brands. These are nice looking shoes that give great support for my over-pronating feet. I usually wear a 6½ or 7 shoe and I bought these in a 7½ so I could insert an orthotic if I needed to, but the 7½ is not large at all and fits well.

I like these shoes! To me, the fit is true to size. I bought them because they come in 2A. The sole feels quite cushiony. I would rate with a moderate arch support. Although I have several other brands that I like (Mizuno, Salomon), it seems that Asics (the styles that come in 2A) wind up being the best fit for me.
