Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 24

I didn’t keep these. Nice color. Nothing special about them in my feet. No particularly not good about them.

Like the ASICS Kayano shoe but this one feels more narrow in toe area. Had to return unfortunately. Great looking shoe.

I wore this pair of Gel Keyano 24 this morning after ordering. I have owned previous pairs of these & loved how much cushion and arch support there was. These are a bit more FLAT and kind of feel half worn out. I jogged in them and it felt ok but not great. Since I ordered 2 pair to rotate them, I will keep them but kind of disappointed that Asics is going cheaper all the way around.

I usually buy a 7 in Asics but these felt smaller than normal. They still fit with wiggle room at the toes but they would definitely have been too big if I get the next size up. I found that Asics has the best arch support for my high arches as opposed to my Nike free runs that don't have any support. This was my first time buying the Gel-Kayano style as I usually buy the GT-2000's. Not much of a difference in the shoes if you are comparing price. Overall a great running shoe, just be careful about the sizing.

I was a big fan of ASICS Gel Kayano 23 lite. I tried these as I thought the toe box would be bigger and the support would be at least the same. These are ok although the arch and heel are not as comfortable as the Gel Kayano 23 lite. ASICS continue to make improvements but none have been as good as the 23. I still like the sneaker for the type of feet I have. I am keeping them.

I wear a 9 in shoes other than athlete, 2A width, overpronate and have big toes that curls up. I ordered 10.5 2A in this shoe, Blue/Purple or as I call it periwinkle. This shoe is really a 2 A. The toe box feels to narrow and tight at first so I wore them inside for an hour. Realized after sometime that this shoe was feeling great. I did need to lace it up close to the ankle for more stability. Walked for 45 minutes and felt very good on feet and calves. Wish somehow, someone would make a shoe that is tough enough to withstand my large toe curling up and breaking thru the shoe webbing/material. The shoes get a hole in the material before I feel it is time to get new shoes. I will love to order this one again.

I too am a fan of the older design of the Gel-Kayano, before they changed it 3 or 4 years ago. After floating around & trying other brands for the past few years, I decided to give these another try, but ORDER THE MEDIUM WIDTH. The default is narrow width & if you see these in the store, they are usually also narrow. The medium width gave me the toe room I so appreciated in the old design. The rest of the shoe also feels like it has more structure than the original design. I am a happy jogger again, & have already put over 40 miles on these shoes! I do wish Asics would come out with some better color schemes, but this blue one isn’t bad.

Wore older models of the Kayano that fit great. Tried on in normal size/width this newer model & they were way too narrow. Getting in same size but wide width did the trick & they fit great.

Liked the shoe and the smokey blue color. Unfortunately they fit small so I'm returning.

I like the brand! I always buy half a size larger as they run small. I have 5 pair. I walk 3 miles daily and wear a different pair each day. So I can't say how long they last. I think I have been wearing for 6 months. I enjoy the different colors.

Need larger size because of orthotics

My feet were swimming – I return them for a smaller size in a different color.

I am trying this out in my house, and haven't decided to keep them yet, but probably will keep them. This is the 5th pair of running shoes bought from Zappos and the first 4 pairs were returned for various reasons. These seem a little stiff compared to my old Brooks shoes, but hug my heel very nicely, and definitely feel like my foot is supported. The sole cushioning goes the entire length of the insole, so the balls of my feet are just as comfy as my heels. One slight issue- the top of the toe box sits a little close to the top of my foot, but the material is soft and stretchy and so far no rubbing. I think the stiffness of the shoe is because it provide such good support and motion control, and I'm hoping I can just get used to it. But not out-of-box comfort as some have reported.

Nice pair of comfortable shoes. I returned a pair of Brooks because they had no cushioning under the front of my foot but these feel much better. Nice variety of style choices also.

I really like the look of these since they are all one color. I ended up buying 3 pairs, the black, purple and blue ones. They are very comfortable and light. I had trouble with my last pair of Asics (Nimbus) being too cushiony but these were perfect. Offers cushion but still supportive. My only complaint is that they are quite stiff on the top area around the ankle, unlike all the other Asics shoes I have worn.

This is my 3rd pair of Kayano 24's. I'm a nurse who is on my feet for 12-13 hours at a time and these shoes are great! I have another pair of them that I use for the gym- cardio/combat/tabata type classes. They are very comfortable and supportive for that, as well. I have read reviews that these are tight in the toes (compared to different models of Asics). They are snug, however comfortable for me--not too tight. (I've had problems with this with Nike Flex RN- I would constantly get ingrown toenails). My biggest problem with them honestly- Is I can't decide what color to buy because I love a few of them :) Will definitely be buying these again!
