Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

They are great. Way better than the 29. Better fit and wear.

The product is really what expected; however, I have my own three pairs of gel Kayano 28, gel kayano 30 is one size bigger, and I could not understand it.

I started with the GEL-KAYANO 29, was concerned the GEL-KAYANO 30 would not be as comfortable, after the first 5 times I wore the 30s I can say they feel great! I have tried many shoes in the past but ASICs are my new goto shoe.

I have been wearing Kayano's exclusively for the last 25+ years because they fit my size 13 extra wide feet perfectly. This edition is even more stable and cushiony. I love that these are finally available in additional colors other than the single color version - typically blue or grey. These are stylish enough to wear to work in comfort!

They run fine. But theyre not real Kayanos. Dont fool yourself into thinking they are. Theyre comfortable to run in but when you hit the mileage that you start to fatigue, be ready to clip your ankles with the massive soles. The shoes are clunky, unattractive monsters that lack the sleek simplicity of every other model of kayano. Im disappointed and if I handbrake had a coupon discount I wouldnt have bought them. If this is how they remain, Im going to have to migrate to another shoe company.

I have used prior versions of the Gel Kayano and found them comfortable. Same for this latest generation. I am about 200 lbs, neutral gait, and this shoe provides comfort and cushioning. Its also available in widths. I recommend it!

I've bought ASICS Gel Kayano exclusively for over 10 years. I buy 2 pairs every 4 months. I am disappointed that the most recent version appears to be different from prior versions because the base of the shoe does not have the same fit. Did ASICS change the structure of the bottom of the shoe?

Im a long time ASICS fan. The Gel-Kayano 30 offers excellent support is light weight and stylish.

I have flat feet/over pronation and I need the fit, comfort and support and this shoe fits the bill. Love my ASICS and Ill buy again.

Shoe looks nice out of the box. Fit is true to size. Put them on and did a small run. Did not really enjoy it. The shoe is really soft, a little too much cushion. The shoe is not very reactive with my stride. I replaced the insoles with Currex and immediate improvement. Shoe feels more stable and a tad bit more energy. Overall i feel good after a long run.

Really wanted to LOVE this shoe. Unfortunately after just a few runs the sole started to separate from the upper. I believe my pair was simply defective, which is why I am giving this a 4 star review. The ride, transition, and comfort were all great. Durability at this point would be my only concern.

I love the support the Gel-Kayano 30's provide. I had plantar fasciitis a few years back. My feet have never felt better since I've started using these shoes. I own 2 pairs.

great shoe overall wont regret buying guaranteed !

The best kayanos yet. I have wide foot with strong pronation, these are pretty much the only running shoes I buy and wear. These are an upgrade over all previous version.

It needs some times to adopt, and not stable while standing and walk slowly. However, very comfortable max cushion shoe.

The shoes are high quality and fit well. I just hate when companies make big changes to a line of shoes. The big thick sole and all the cushioning, in this new model, is just way too much. Ive pretty much worn kayanos exclusively for running since the 8s. Ill use them to wear around but I cant run in these. Very disappointed but I guess its been a good run (pun intended). Now on to finding a new running shoe.

I get every version of the Kayanos and these are nice and comfortable. They have a bit more cushion then prior versions. Great for running, walking and doing activities.

Been buying Gel-Kayanos since number 24 and this is by far the most comfortable shoe with the most support. Gonna buy a second pair and use the two pairs as my everyday shoe.

I love the Asics Kayano brand, but the company failed with this remake in my opinion. My guess is they tried to imitate On Cloud and Hoka rocker versions, but seems all they accomplished was to make the sole much thicker, which makes it feel like I'm back to wearing the heavy combat boots of my Air Force days. There is no rocker effect that provides support to the mid-sole, making walking with this shoe a bit of a slog. Asics should either return to its former design, which is lighter and more supportive, or more closely imitate Hoka's true rocker design.

Best shoes Ive owned. Light, great arch support, and sole cushioning. Great ankle stabilization.

I have been using Gel Kayano for 15 years and loved them, when buying a new pair I didn't have to try them on, I knew they would fit like tailor made. But the latest I bought (Gel-Kayano 29) was not as wide as before, very tight and uncomfortable. It did not feel like the same shoe. It was also more painful to run on hard surface. Whatever changes that were made, it was not for the better.

The arch support seems quite high on first wear. The 4D system for stability adjusts to your arch in few runs and then it feels very comfy. The shoe feels a bit heavy but the stability and comfort is far ahead from the previous version. The bounce and feedback is also very good

The 30 is by far the best ever! Comfort and support are outstanding
