Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 23

I am a valet runner and on my first month I was getting shin splints, I knew I had to make a switch. I bought these shoes and over the past month or so they have been perfect to me, outstanding support, comfort and style. 10/10 by far.

I've worn ascis for my 8 hour work day and they are the best shoes to handle my 5,000+ daily steps.

After the disaster that the Kayano 22 was, the 23 redeems the Kayano line! Toe box is back to the standard size - very much like the Kayano 21. This one has the classic Kayano fit. To add to this, the sneakers are significantly lighter than when compared to the 21's. Very comfortable from the first time I laced them up. Asics actually listened to all of the complaints! :-O :-D

I like the fit for the most part and the style. Love the colors. They seem a bit narrow/tight on the toes and I do not have wide feet but other than that they are good.

Once I got the sizing figured out, they were fine. Kayano 23 is sized smaller than my old Kayanos by about 1/2 to 1 size. My first order (at my usual size) was too small. I like a slightly snug fit and went up 1/2 size from usual, and they fit great. I like the changes to the design, and the mesh like fabric creates a good fit. I'm not a big fan of pink, but I just wish they came with a different color of laces!

Perfect support for certain feet in plantar fasciitis. Durability in the tread doesn't last more than three months if you wear all day, every day. Narrow toe box. But I have yet to find a better cushioned heel in a shoe.

I bought these shoes for winter training and alternated between these and the Nike Structure 21s. I have very flat feet and when I started running in these shoes I had really aggressive shin splints, but after I broke the shoes in they were amazing. They kept their support and bounce for a full season of running between 30-40 miles a week, I stopped running in the Nikes completely. A great shoe that is great for training.

Have been wearing gel kayano for several years now for work as I walk and stand a fair amount. The kayano 23 was lighter than the previous versions but didn't feel as sturdy. Fit and comfort is still good so I would probably still recom getting this model.

I purchased these shoes because of all the Asics I had purchased in the past. The toe box is slimmer than it was in previous models. I ordered the wide in this shoe (which I never do) and it's still snug but will hopefully break in when I start wearing them. The color is great - I like those "go with anything" colors. I recommend the shoe but if you normally wear a regular width, order the wide. Don't size up like some reviews recommend - I tried that on and it slid up and down my heel.

The Kayano is the only shoe I will wear period! I prefer a D width, however, this shoe is black, which I needed for my work and business. I will slowly stretch them out and they will work.

Comfortable, nice cushion and stylish. This is my second pair- same color.

Gel Kaya no is a well made sturdy shoe. Not quite a high enough arch support or cushiony enough heel cup for my issues, so I had to add an insert. Very expensive!
