Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 23

I'm a runner and have been wearing gel kayanos for many years. Last year's design - the gel Kayano 22 were a huge flop from the poor sizing,poor fit and poor quality. Very disappointing! This year's model - the 23's - are an improvement but have a very tight and uncomfortable toe box. My solution has been to search the internet for and to stock up on the gel kayano 21's. The last good gel kayano ever made.

Love these running shoes! Started running in September 2018, bought my first pair of Gel Kayano's and have ran them into the ground! Really didn't need to consider another brand or type of trainer. They support my entire body, a running shoe you can trust has your best interest at heart! Thanks for the innovation!

The Gel Kayano is perfect for me. Gives me plenty of support in the arch and is great for my circuit training class. Will buy these again.

Normally always buy the Asics in 8 Wide, so needed to return these. Waiting for the 8.5 wide to come in stock.

I love this shoe, it's perfect for my stability needs and wide short feet. They hold up well for about 200 miles but afterwards pretty much break down and disentegrate. I believe I had 400 miles on my last pair before the top separated from the sole

I bought these about a month ago and struggle to find good running shoes due to my flat feet and knee problems. These shoes have consistently given me the stability, support, and comfort that I need. Because they have more support than I'm used to, it did take away to get comfy in them due to the fact that I was not used to the extra support in certain places. Would 10/10 recommend.

Wanted a comfortable fit for going to the gym, love these.

I have purchased this exact pair of ASICS ever since I was fitted for shoes to support my flat arches and wide feet. They feel like walking on clouds and I try to walk at least 5 miles per day. Just wish they had more options for wide feet but I do love these.

I only buy the ASICS Kayan sneaker. They always look great and fit perfectly

I dealt with incredible pain and tightness in my IT bands during my four years of high school cross country, which subsequently led me to quit distance running for about 4 years. During those 8 years, I was never able to find a shoe that accommodated my stride and kept my IT bands from causing me horrible pain... UNTIL I FOUND THIS SHOE! After four years off the roads, I decided to take up running again, and with the Gel-Kayano 23, I have had NONE of my old issues (IT band tightness, pain in calves, pain in knees etc). I have been training for a half marathon for two months now in these shoes and it has been incredible. I'm putting in mileage now that I never thought would be possible, and wish I had discovered these shoes sooner. I'll be buying more pairs, and may try the newer Gel Kayano they have out as well. Thanks for a great shoe Asics - you've given me the ability to train and compete again.

I bought these several months ago to use at work for active days. I was a bit concerned when I received the pair as it was a bit narrower in the toe than any of the other Kayanos that I have owned. No problems at all, quick break in period, leaving me comfortable all day. I have already recommended these.

Bought these shoes a month ago for my wife and she says they are the best shoe she has ever owned she will continue to buy them.

I love the kayano. I've been wearing this shoe for years. I'll be honest. I made a BIG mistake ordering this pair. I always buy your brightest version. I LOVE oranges and pinks, anything bright! I was feeling frugal and bought the cheapest color, black. I regretted this the moment I opened the box. I literally felt sad wearing them. :( Hate is a strong word, so I'll just say...I really, really don't like them. I had no idea it would affect my mood so much! Fortunately, I am a fitness coach known for my "sparkle." One of my members suggested, why don't you add your own touch of sparkle to your shoes? I have a rhinestone wand aka my b'dazzler and went for it! So much better!!! It's a true life lesson. From our darkest moments, we find an opportunity to let our light shine bright!!! Fortunately, the shoes still perform great. However, I must share my 2 cents (or a dollar here. LOL!) Please, please, please...always offer a happy bright pink, orange, and/or silver sparkle version of your shoe. I don't care what season it is...many of us just want to wear bright happy colors! It truly changes our attitudes and puts a spring in our step!!! Thank you so much for listening!!!

I've had surgery on my right foot twice in the less than a year. I was unable to get into my Nike's due to swelling. Finding a wide shoe with good support was hard. Someone suggested Asics but I was a bit turned off by the fact that they were so colorful. Eventually I gave and bought a pair of Venturas and GT 1000. They were wide, supportive, and comfy. Then it happened......I slid my foot into the Kayano and was in LOVE!!!! I use to be a Nike and Jordan girl but never have I owned a pair that were as comfortable as these. I also have arthritis in both feet and the gel and supporting tissues helps a lot with pain prevention. I love these shoes so much that I am going to buy another pair in a different color and a pair for my mom

I already own a pair of the Kayano 23 shoes. They have been great for my wide feet. I also like that they are attractive. So often shoes that are wide in size lack any style. I purchased the Kayano 24 shoes first this time but sent them back as I still like the feel of the 23 shoes better.

My favorite fitness shoe! I have worn this shoe for several years. Love them

No one can match ASICS for cushioning and comfort. Well worth every dollar.

This tennis shoes may me want to keep going, so comfy.

I bought these shoes as a replacement for a pair of Gel Nimbus 13. They seem to be slightly wider than the 13's, but feel great.

I walk on cement floors all day at work . With these I can do it pain free !!!

Very comfortable shoes for my particular feet, the sole matches my arch perfectly

I purchased these to be my ref shoes. I have worn them for a couple days and they are very comfortable. I wear a size 11 and they are true to size.
