Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 25

These shoes arrived at my home at the beginning of May. It is now July 5 and the front third of the bottom of both of them have completely worn away. I'm really disappointed, given how much these shoes cost! Once I put my orthotics in, they were pretty comfortable, but the quality and rate of wear is unacceptable.

You used to have narrow widths and now you have gotten rid of those and made the others wider!! I know there aren't as many people with skinny feet, but seems like you continue manufacturing a choice of narrow for us skinny girls!! :( :(

Purchased these mid-January this year and started wearing in February. By May there was a hole in the top of the shoe. This is the second pair that has done this. Quality of mesh is not sturdy enough to hold up.

I love Kayano Asics but , the color of this shoe is a much darker gray than it looks like in the picture on the website. The picture here on this site makes them look more white but they are actually a darker gray, they look like a mens shoe!

I Pay a high price for the kayanos, expecting to get what I got some years back, since then the toe box is to small in the last 4 models, now the gel cushioning feels like I'm wearing a cheap sneaker.

I have worn a new pair of Kayano each year for several years. I like the 23 so much when I went to purchase my next pair instead of purchasing a 24 I purchased a 23 that was on clearance. So I skipped the 24 and purchased a 25 this year. I'm not sure what is different my left foot is fine but my right foot falls asleep. I've loosened the laces and still falls asleep. They are now lightly worn less than 3 miles and I can't return. Disappointed.

Have worn your shoes for years and ;over the. AA fit me so well. Will no longer buy your shoes. This model ugly and uncomfortable.

These are not very good sorry I purchased my feet are hurting

Bought 3 pairs before I wore them. The shoe has very little flexibility or cushioning under the ball of the foot. The top of my feet and knees are sore after wearing them. Very sorry I bought them

i've heard nothing but great things about all asics shoes from serial runners and i was looking for something to accommodate my long runs and was recommended the gel kayanos. i put them on and immediately knew that they were going to be too stiff and that they were very clunky, but i went ahead with my run anyway. Within a mile of my run, my IT band was hurting and i've NEVER experienced IT band pain! on top of that i now have shin splints in my right shin as well. Also, i was going at a rather slow pace about 10:00 min i've run much farther and faster and have never had this issue in other shoes. i returned them immediately and bought a pair of BROOKS adrenaline, very smooth and fast. my legs are STILL aching from that initial run in the Kayanos two whole weeks ago. sorry asics, i tried but was dissappointed.

I've purchased Asics Kayano running sneakers for many years and have been very happy with the fit. Not so for the Kayano 25. These sneakers are uncomfortable and hurt my achilles tendon. These sneakers are not cheap so I feel like I've thrown away $160. I will be searching for a more comfortable sneaker until you bring back the old technology.

When I first put this shoe on it seemed comfortable. After an hour of wearing the tops of my feet started to hurt. I tried loosening the laces and tying them different ways but nothing would stop the pain. Will have to return, too bad because otherwise they were quite comfortable.

I have been wearing the Kayano for years since it is the only shoe that helped with plantar fasciitis. The 25 is much narrower causing so much pain I am having a hard time even wearing them. I ordered the same size I usually order which is strange. Unfortunately there was only one Kayano that is available in a wider width and it was ugly for lack of a better word. Im am really bummed I dont think I will be able to keep this shoe. I may have to find a new go to shoe.

The arch support is okay, not what it once was. The front on my foot is hurting and I have been wearing them for 3 weeks now. It is sad to say I will probably never purchase Asics again. They were my go to for over 10 years and now they changed the support and still not quite back to where they once were.
