Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 22

Love this sneaker for walking and doing home workouts. Great fit. Very comfortable. Love the colors.

I have worn this shoe for years and find the support very good and a good comfort level. The newer version runs a half size smaller!

Listen to other reviewers that these shoes run 1/2 size too small. I always buy Kayano & this is first time they were too small & had to order 1/2 size up. These are great shoes for people with Plantar Fasciitis as they help tremendously!

I absolutely love these running shoes. So much cushion and comfort. Feels like I'm running on clouds and my feet thank me.

I have been wearing Kayanos for years. I never try them on; I just order the same size when they wear out. The new Kayano 22 is at least a 1/2 size smaller than the previous Kayanos. I'm not sure why they changed the shoe. It was perfect the way it was. Returning for a larger size.

Note to Asics: What have you done to the Kayano? I have worn Asics aproximately 20 years and I have worn the Kayanos about 15 years, per foot doctor's recommendations. Just bought the Medium Kayamo 22 and they are narrower in the foot bed. This is a real problem for me and I dread having to find another shoe to replace the shoe that has always fit so well....until now. Hope you get this message.

Way too snug and tight! Been buying Kayanos for years! I don't get it!

Love these shoes I buy a pair every year but the Kayano 22 run a bit short compare to the Kayano 21 from last year! I will re-order a half size bigger!

Either my feet have dramatically changed (which is poss) or the shoe has. Normally a little wider and more comfy...well...it is not now. Not very comfy either...I wish it was! I like the style and considered keeping it; however, it is just too uncomfy to wear, run, exercise and walk in.

ASICS please stop narrowing your shoes.Ordered the wide and its no different than the medium or narrow. It seems like Asics is getting narrower everyyear. I am switching to Brooks after being a loyal customer to Asics for more than a decade.

I have very narrow feet and have difficulty finding shoes that fit. These shoes are great. I did go up a size based on the reviews. I am very satisfied!!

I am heartbroken. After wearing Asics for years without ever having a fit problem, I purchased this pair. I didn't even question the fit, threw away the box and wore them for the first time today. The toe is narrow and the shoe is shorter than my other size 6's. The heel is wider than usual with some slipping. Bottom line: after 30 minutes on a treadmill, I've injured a nerve in my foot (from cramped toes) and I'm limping. I'd return these shoes, but I don't have the box and I've worn them, Worse, I now have to find a new brand. My bad for trusting you, Asics.

This model looks nice, but is uncomfortable and has less arch support than other gel kayanos I have worn and loved.

These Asics feel like they were made for my feet. I tried Nimbus last fall because I couldn't find Kayano, and they were okay but these are amazing. Great support, nice and light, ice blue color makes me happy but I do wish Asics would come out with just white. All online retailers should use Zappos service as a model.

As other reviewers have pointed out, this show runs short. I returned my normal 9 and went up a half size. This is an awesome shoe, in the right size.

I've been getting ASIC Kayano for years. They change every year. My favorites were from 2yrs ago. Sigh. These are ok. The heel feels shorter and the toe box a little snugger but it doesn't bother my bunions. My Achilles tendonitis flared up on my first long walk with them. I'll be experimenting with additional orthotics!

VERY disappointed. I have been wearing this model of Asics for years! At least 10. They are now narrow in the toe box! I returned to regular for wide thinking I might need wide. The wide are too wide for me, but the regular are now too narrow. I had read the reviews and most people mentioned that they were too narrow. I do not have fat feet....in fact used to wear narrow shoes in my youth (long gone)...so I am really perplexed with a show changing that drastically. You have taken a great shoe and redesigned or went to a cheaper manufacturer! Not happy!

These are the most comfortable and shock absorbing running shoes I have ever had. Running on concrete is no longer tolling on my body. The shoes have a great grip and fit for my heel. The toe box is perfect. I have normal width and low arch feet. I mildly to moderately pronate (actually one foot pronates more than the other). I run four miles three times a week.

Everyone saying these run too narrow is correct. I've been wearing Gel Kayanos for a decade, and this is not the same shoe. Could barely get the medium width on my foot - felt the shoe cutting off my circulation as soon as I tried to walk. Foot bed did not seem the same, either - not as much arch support, and weird band that could be felt under the toe area. Very disappointed. Asics should be doing better quality control for a shoe in this price range. Zappos, please pass along our feedback.

One of the most comfortable shoes I have found, even for my wide toe box. They do not need to be broken in and provide great support and stability.

I am an Asics fan from way back. All My walking shoes for the past few years have been Asics. But these are by far the most comfortable ones I have ever worn. They do run small and narrow. Went up a half size and ordered wide instead of medium. And I have a problem with inward pronation and these solved it perfectly. They were so comfortable I kept them on all day long.

The shoe is not true to size. It runs small - I will need to go up a full size for the proper fit. I love the GEL-Kayano - worn several pair for running, but have decided to switch to a different brand this time. Maybe next season, Asics will get it right.

I really like these! I normally wear an 8½ in a shoe and a 9 in an athletic shoe. Having read the other reviews, I decided to get the 9½. I am glad that I did! So just a heads up, they do run small.

I will go ahead with the bad first. I need wide shoes and I have a pair of wide Asics that are amazing, so I assumed that these would be amazing too. These are not true wide shoes. I have not decided if I am going to return them or keep them hoping that they will stretch a bit. For the good, they are very cute shoes, I love the colors. The gel is super comfortable on the bottom of my feet. Overall this is a quality pair of shoes, but if you need wide beware.
