Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 24

it was between this and the nimbus, which is pricier. i just like the nimbus better for me. this is a great, really comfy shoe. if i had to settle for this model life would still be good, lol! i wear a 6-6.5 in street shoes but my last few pairs of asics i’ve needed a 7. make sure you get a large enough size, these do run small.

This shoe runs twice as narrow as stated. I ordered a D wide, and it felt very snug.

I have a hard time finding shoes with a toe box that is wide enough. The kayano 23 was very painful trying to break in, even sizing up. These kayano 24 have a roomier for box. I still sized up, but the fabric is stretchier and allows more room for your toes. This is my second pair and I am planning to get another. I hope they will continue to make the kayano a with a roomier toe box.

Really narrow across toe. Laces are too short and if I tighten laces for length and support my foot goes numb when running. Always have run in gel kayanos— am finally considering a new model or different brand

Really hard insoles. Not comfortable like all my other Asics.

ordered a 11 wide...could even get my foot in...come on Asics, you use to be a good reliable shoe.

Ordered this in wide (D) and it was too narrow, much more so than my Kayano 21s. Disappointed because it was such a cute shoe and the last pair was so good to me.

I sadly don't like these shoes. My feet and legs hurt the 1st day I wore them. No where enough cushioning. I think these are more narrow in the toe box too. I do love that they come in white. I am so tired of all the wild colors.

I really wanted to keep this shoe. I have a wide foot, and I found the shoe was constricting the toes on my left foot. Unfortunately, I had to return it.

I've been wearing this shoe style for years and went on my first run only to end with numb toes. The shoes felt tight in the toe box when I tried them on and I hoped they'd stretch and feel more comfortable during my run. But, sadly, my first impression was accurate and I'll be returning the shoes.

Definitely a half size to full size too small. I wear a solid 8 and they were way too small for me. Cute shoes though.

I’ve been wearing Gel Kayanos for several years. The GK 20 was the best version they made. The 18, 19 and 21’s were also very good. Since the 22 though, the Kayano has gone downhill IMHO. The Sizing is off, I now have to wear a full size larger rather than a half size larger. When I bought my first pair of GK 20’s I’d been having really bad heel pain for a few months but it totally disappeared as soon as I popped them on. Since then, I’ve had 4 pair of the 20’s and if I’d have known that this was going to be the apex of this model, I have stocked up on them. The 22’s were okay. I still have a pair but the 23’s were terrible. No support and the shoes ran 1-1.5 sizes short. I passed. Tried a pair of the 24’s last year. They’re okay. I have narrow feet and with my orthotic they’re kind of tight. Usually even narrows are too wide on my with my inserts. The cushioning is okay and they’re certainly better than the 23’s. The toe bed isn’t short but it’s a little narrow. It’s really disappointing. I’ve opted for the GTS Adrenalines until the 25’s come out. Also ASICS, $160 for a pair of running shoes that wears out in a few months is ridiculous. For that price my shoes should be pretty perfect. Ordering from Zappos is a snap though. So quick and lots of customer support.
