True to fit. Lighter than anticipated. A nice cushion without being mushy. This shoe ticked off all the boxes if your looking for a great shoe for everyday running and walking. Happy purchase.

Kayano 28 is known for the wide toe box, so when I bought and used the Kayano 28 wide (made in Vietnam), I was pleasantly surprised, I did not lose any toe nails. The Kayano 30 wide is not wide (made in Indonesia), I already lost one toe nail. I do not recommend this shoe, if a wide toe box is needed.

I have been wearing Asics' Gel Kayano model for many years since my first pair of GK-17's, which I still have. I am a senior walker, who has worn the GK's size 12.5 for all of my models up to the model 29's when I had to go to size 13. And then tried the 29 size 13 2-E for the extra width. Perfect! I started the model 30's with 2 pair of size 13, but now have 3 more pair in size 13 2-E, which are much more comfortable allowing the extra width.

These shows were a great fit! They also had superb cushioning and support compared to my Adidas. No foot pain or knee pain. I started using these to work out and so far I havent had any issues.

Shoes were comfortable, but the left shoe squeaked every time I stepped. Never had this problem before. Suspect a quality problem.

Great fit and cuishioning. I have been a gel Kayano user for many years. Only thing I have noticed, comfort level goes down quite quickly after few days.

I run about 15 miles per week. At more than 50 yrs old man and has a plantar fasciitis at around 2016, I need as much support and cushion as I like. In my rotation, I have Nimbus 24 (which will soon be retired) and also a less cushioned GT-1000 11 for short 3 miles run.
This is my first time wearing the Kayano and I love it. I also like the Nimbus and would just get whichever is on sale for a less price. My true size is 8 2E and the 8 Extra wide is slightly too wide for me, but I like to wear thicker socks, so this works our just fine.

If possible, I'd rate this shoe a zero. I've worn the Gel-Kayano model for several years, but this particular model is the worst athletic shoe I've ever purchased. The shoe is over cushioned at the expense of stability. My right foot actually goes numb after only a few minutes of wearing it. The use of the term "athletic performance in describing this shoe is oxymoronic at best. It's look, feel and performance is more like an orthopedic shoe. It's time to move to another brand, probably Brooks.

Not true to size length, for me size 12 is almost there. I had other shoes from ASICS and never been a problem. I tried 2 pairs both are shorter in length. Disappointed, can't return them after used them for few weeks.

They look fresh and have been comfy so far. I went on a 6-mile walk in them and they remain cushy. Unsurprisingly the light color makes them susceptible to scuff marks upon bumping into things. I havent tried to clean up the scuff marks yet, but nonetheless Im quite happy with these as an everyday sneaker.

The Gel-Kayanos have been my go to stability shoe for over a decade. This version is very well made, but I'm not sure how the foam will last as it is a lot spongier compared prior versions. Good bounce to it, but will it last? Outside of that, the only thing missing is a zero drop version and a roomier toe box design.

Lowered price by $20 a week after I received my order and they would not price match. Have been buying from them for a number of years.

Just a heads up. This shoe is NOT a neutral trainer. Also if you do have a neutral stride the 4D GUIDANCE can push your foot into a overpronation stride and create an unbalanced stride while running. Last but not least, it is quite heavy no longer a light running shoe by any means.

I've been wearing Asics extra-wides for as long as I can remember and this is my third pair of Kayanos. For the first time ever wearing Asics, I got toe blisters. These shoes are nowhere near as wide as they used to be. So disappointed.
