I absolutely loved the way these shoes felt. I like the way they looked. However, I bought them because they were rated to help with Plantar and they did not help, rather they caused problems with it.

I brought these shoe because I couldn't afford the gel-kayno 30's. These shoes are comfortable then most of the shoes I ever wore . I would buy these again and I highly recommend them.

These are awesome but the fit is a little wider than the previous style and a bit shorter than before. I ordered the same shoe that I had and my toes hit the front.

I had to return the two pair I bought they change the design and pushed the toe up more and they rubbed against my toes. I have been a customer for over 15 years and went out and bought five pair of the 28 version

New to the Kayano lineup. I'm a casual runner, running 5k distances a few times a week. These are slightly lighter and more responsive than other stability shoes I've worn in the past. I'm hoping with a few more runs I can get really understand the feel. So far so good!

Greater cushioning but they seem narrower than previous versions. I am breaking them in slowly, hoping that they will expand with use.

The shoes are high quality and fit well and are comfortable. These shoes feel great on the treadmill or walking trails etc..... Love the extra wide. One of the only brands that make extra wide sneaker readily available.

Love the cushion. Wish there was a bit larger toebox. Also have had some lateral forefoot pulling up of the tread on two pairs.

Very padded and comfortable shoe. They run a little small in comparison to other shoes I've worn. I probably should have returned them for a size larger.

They fit good but the tongue has little less cushion and fits tight on top my foot unless the laces are loosened quite a bit. I have a high arch but none of my previous ASICS fit like this one.

This feels very comfortable. I would purchase again. My podiatrist recommended ASICS. I’ve owned several pairs and am extremely happy with them.

i wear 10.5 4e in every pair of Asics ever owned. I swear they are getting narrower. Then compared pair gel venture 8 from 2021 to pair earlier this year.... and they are narrower!! I had read reviews of other Asics shoes and people complain that feel narrower than before. That's because they are!!
I stepped up for this pair gel Kayono and its too bad it crammed my toes together otherwise i can easily imagine how much better my feet would feel after working 12 hrs. Almost twice as expensive as the Asics i usually go with, but these have potential to be twice as comfortable as the venture series. Aesthetically I don't care for the kayano compared to the venture. Unsure which shoe i will go with from here. Having wide feet stinks .... not near as many options. Zappos does have the largest selection of 4e shoes so I'm returning these and hope for better luck finding a true 4e shoe this time

This is my first time running in the Kayano line. I had to order a half size up from my normal running shoes, even Asics branded ones. I'm really enjoying it as a daily trainer. I don't notice the support in the arch area if there is any which is a great change from support shoes of the past. The heel area is done really well so I get a good lockdown with my regular lacing. The ride is comfortable enough for my weight (175 lbs) and the rubber outsole is really, really, good on dry and damp surfaces. I've put about 50 miles in them through road, track and grass with no issues.

I have a wide foot, took a chance on these but they were too tight in the toe box.
Not crazy about the Lighter blue sole wrapping up around toe, made the turn up look kind of "elf-ish" which was not readily apparent on the website.
Had the fit been there, I might of given them a go, the archand heel support felt good.

I tried New GEL-KAYANO 29 MK, htey fit incredible, are very comfortables and stables, the only issue with those shoes is: the seams in the upper part of the boot are very hard and after 10k blisters begin to form

Great shoes but they are cut lower around the ankle than other brands and I literally seem to run out of them.

These are exactly what I needed to begin my own couch to n distance endeavor. They are great for my 250lb corpus maximus. I do still feel my weight in my knees but without these I'd have been hospitalized by now. One caveat is that they are so padded and squishy they give a slight 'floaty' foot feel. Anyone who's ever driven an 80's Cadillac will know what I mean. Ideal for overweight people looking to move more but you will want a better road feel once you've made progress.

Hard to grasp laces to tighten them. Too many close holes.

Feels cushy and comfortable but the padding on the Achilles is terrible. After wearing shoes for about 1 month off and on, the padding have moved lower by 1/2 inch and now it's annoying.

Very comfortable sneakers. My only observation is that they feel a little tighter in the front than my 28's.

Only problem I've had with multiple generations of Kayanos - the pad at the back of the heel pushes down and doesn't keep it's shape - bummer. Otherwise awesome!
