Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kinsei® Blast

Very comfortable. I love the extra layer around the tongue and ankle area. My only problem with these are that the toe box is a bit more narrow then all the other ASICS I have purchased in the past. Wearing a thin sock fixed the problem, but before that, my toes were going numb on my walks.

Absolutely LOVE them. Go with a half size bigger, for sure. Glad that I followed that advice. My only concern is longevity. The funky sole that sticks out of the back of the shoe is already separating from the sole. I've only worn them a total of about 12 hours.

Definitely order up 1/2 size,They are almost as great as the older model, the base it GREAT!, Just need to add the nimbus cushion on top of the base! Then they would be PERFECT!

Very cushiony, absorbs the shock and pounding. Took a long time to break in and because of the extra support in the pad of the foot, before they were broken in my toes would fall asleep! Other wise I love these shoes!

These shoes were super comfy - a smidge heavy - I ended up not loving the print. Like at all. Ultimately I returned. Add more color options and I would buy again.

I really like them. They are superior to my Gel Nimbus 23 (I have all of them!) except you have to be very careful with the sock liner. The first time I found thin socks and had no problem. The second time I didn't have the right pair of socks and I got a blister on one of my toes. Other than that, they are stabile without the weight of the Gel Nimbus.

These sneakers make lots of noise while walking or running. The first time I wore them I thought someone was literally behind me. It scared me.

They're not that comfortable straight out the box. You have to break them in and still I feel like my heels hurt at the end of my 12 hr nursing shift. They're nice to look at though.

Comfortable running shoes and light, but needs more gel shock absorption especially for longer runs.

I was expecting a bit more support arch support but I think I may have to go back to the nimbus or kayano's. The look more up to date than normal but I have to put in inserts vs the above mentioned I need nothing.

Great fit (especially around the heel area) and cushion! For high mileage I do daily I don't think the plate works for me. Seems to exhaust my legs.

Fast delivery an excited about wearing my new shoes. I have been wearing them two weeks now a the cushion does feel nice.. they are just squeaky loudness . I'm not sure the squeak will get better. Im still working invite .

Ran in these twice and now dealing with ongoing heel pain along with knee pain while running. Not enough cushion compared to the Kayano. Not a great fit for my foot.

The shoe is a nice shoe, but maybe my plantar fasciitis is my problem. Wore them twice and back in the box they went

I love ASICS, but not this shoe. I thought I was purchasing an upgrade from the Kinsei Blast, however after running once, discovered it was a downgrade. After the first run, I went back and ordered the Kinsei Blast and will continue to run in just the blast.

They are not worth the cost. My feet hurt. Nimbus much more comfortable.

This are awesome and very pretty , the cushion is perfect but 10 minutes running in :( my feet were really in pain and u comfortable like if I was running on rocks :(. I have never had such problem with asics I in facto love them! But his shoes were a big No No! I stop running because i couldn't return them and can't afford another one and I don have other shoes to run with intact, I try them like 5 times trying to run but they gave my feet pain .
