Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

Great fit with amazing stability. They were worth the wait. Glad I didnt settle for the Brooks.

I have severely overpronated feet and was looking for a comfortable walking shoe for work. I work at a clinic where I'm on my feet often, and I also go to the gym frequently, so I needed something that could last me the whole day without too much wear and tear and provide good orthotic support. I read about these online and decided to give them a try. They are AMAZING! They provide really good support, I feel like I'm walking on pillows all the time. They needed a little bit of breaking in, but I am really happy with my purchase. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing shoe.

My son loves these shoes. He needed the stability and his response was to his first few runs were all positive. He wants another color now.

Since ASICS discontinued the Gel DS Trainer, I needed a new shoe. After almost 30 years in ASICS, I thought this would be an easy transition. It was not. The Gel Kayano did not have the cushioning I expected - and thats with an upgraded insole that I use. Its just not the right shoe for me. Im moving on from ASICS.

I followed all instructions to return these and never got my refund.

Very comfortable and love the fit. Also very nice looking

The pinky side support tips my foot sideways and makes it really uncomfortable to walk

Same shoe purchased from Asics seem to be lesser quality than shoe purchased at local Fleet Feet store. Shoe purchased directly from Asics arrived with the stripe on the left shoe coming off in several places, as well as left toe box was lumpy, deformed, not rounded like the right shoe.

I have used Kayano for the last 10 years and this is the best one yet. Very secure and comfortable. Great shoe for weight training as well as running. Great build quality and the shoe has a wonderful 'upper' that seems to have great ventilation.

I'm not really a runner. Nevertheless, I do run 3-10 miles a week for active recovery on my off-workout days. Currently 215 lbs and needed a dedicated running shoe with stability. Overall I'm very happy with the Kayano 30 (Extra Wide) as the fit is near perfect with a larger toe box and I really have no complaints. The color is great. The fit is perfect... I give it them an "A" overall. They get my approval for a everyday running shoe.

For 8 years I have worn some version of this shoe for running and now for walking. It has evolved over time, usually with small changes. This version is a big change from the past. It seems to be more intended for walking now than for running (although I cannot test it for the latter). It has improved on its original strength as an anti-pronating shoe. The sole is much more comfortable -- this is the first time I have not used an extra or supplementary inner sole. The price has increased many-fold -- I used to find older versions (with a bit of effort) for as little as $50. No more -- but this is the first version that it worth the list price!

I got my first pair of Asics back in 2006 and I haven't worn a different sneaker for walking and running every since. I love the added cushion in the sole and really enjoy how these fit. Unless something negative of epic proportion happens while wearing a pair of Asics, I won't be wearing any other brand.

This was suppise to be a gift for my father in law. Box looks so damaged, looks second hand. Thankfully shoes were not damaged aa well.

It has been a while since I've worn Asics. In love again with these shoes. The fit is perfect, and the road is hardly there.

I bought these shoes for my son. He has pain in his ankle. He tried the cumulus, Nimbus and Kayano. After much deliberation he went with Kayano. Its been a few weeks and his ankle does not feel so bad now. He is very satisfied with these shoes.

Good price point. Found these on sale. Soles are not as soft as they look or other manufacturers. Not a bad shoe by any means just wasnt quite what I wanted.

Great quality. Great fit. All in all great shoe. My husband has problem feet and these were recommended. He now has two pair.

Very comfortable shoe. Good fit and very flexible shoe. I like it.

I had like 6-7 Asics shoes so far and didn't have a problem in fitting. For some reason, this one appears extra wide and do not look as good as my other Asics shoes. I wonder if they accidentally sent me a wider size.

My flat feet are in LOVE with these sneakers! No orthotics are needed, and they feel fantastic...even after wearing them at work all day. I will absolutely be buying a more colorful pair...so send me a coupon, LOL. These are my first pair of Asics...and will NOT be my last.

I have had these for several months and these are by far the worst engineer Kayano shoe. I am not a jogger but use these for walking so that may make the difference but the new wide platform, particularly in the front is way too wide and makes me feel klutzy even though I am not. I am so disappointed that I need to look for a different show as I have purchased every model since the kayano 18. They are lightweight but the shoe just is not nearly as comfortable as past models. This will make me forgo the Kayono 31 release as I see they have the same bulky wide platform as the 30

If you take a extra wide shoe, do not purchase issue that is wide I found they were still too narrow

Returned a month ago still waiting for refund. Help

Did Hood to Coast in these and never and one issue.

After using the ASICS Gel-Kayano for all these 20+ years, they have just gotten better, and better.
