Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

These are great shoes, with a wide toe box. They are stability shoes, like HOKA's. They are super comfortable, and help my walking 5 plus daily miles. I usually wear a 7.5, but got an 8, and they are perfect. I use these on hiking trails and pavement.

Shoe is very comfortable with a lot of cushioning. I wear a narrow and there are not a lot of options for a narrow foot. Still wish ASICS offered more styles in narrow. Plush ride.

Love the fit color and very comfortable and supportive

I absolutely love these shoes. I have been suffering from a bunion and these did their job. Training for a half and i have my confidence back. I also didn't expect the color to be so beautiful! Absolutely recommend. Oh and they are so light running on clouds.

This is my second pair of Gel Kayano 30 shoes. They're great support for runners who over pronate. Support is good, and they feel like running on clouds compared to my old regular sneakers.

Ive been wearing the Kayano series since 15, every year I get the new version. This style has a smaller toe box and seem to be smaller. My toes are jamming up against the front of the shoe with every step. I was not able to insert my orthotics or the shoe wouldnt fit at all. Disappointed.

Felt good the first time that I put them on! Very comfortable for my foot issues. I have received many compliments about them. The color is soft, but eye-catching. ASICS makes a great quality running shoe.

These seemed a bit clunkier than the 29, were not nearly as comfortable, and they felt unnatural when running. I was disappointed that I wore them so I couldn't return them. After this experience, I decided to purchase a different brand shoe which I am much happier with.

Super comfortable. I walk 15-20 miles per week and these get me through.

These sneakers were so comfortable from the first time I put them on. No break in period.

I'm impressed with a quality... soft, and light weight.

Although these shoes are very cushioned, they are shorter in length than the other many Asics I've owned. I have always ordered a half size up to accommodate a thicker sock, which I did here. I have only worn them in the house while cleaning to find out if I can tolerate my toe being up against the end of the shoe. They did seem to stretch out a little bit during wear.

The shoes serve the purpose, as I am flat footed, and the ASICS Gel-Kayano has been the very best sport shoes for me. I put a pair on the first thing in the morning, to save my feet from our tile floor. Voila! The best feeling. However, the 30's are a little clunky looking. They just are not as pretty as the 27's-29's. They look more "institutional?" But that is ok. Love the Gel-Kayanos.

Love the color. Good shoes overall. Pronation support and good heel fit. But the heel doesnt have the same fit in all the colors. I think it could use a little more gel similar to the 31. But the pronation support is better in the 30. It took a little while to break in the shoe. Im satisfied. Wish I knew which other color fit the same.

I have 5 pairs of Gel Kayanos, which were my go to shoe. The 30s rub my ankles and I cannot wear them. Your customer service is the worst. No returns accepted on brand new shoe because I did not keep the box. I will never do business with Asics again.

Purchased during the semi-annual sale and I love it! Ordered 2 different sizes (true size = 7.5, 8 as a half size up) and ended up keeping the size 8 which is what Asics recommends online to do. I bought these to use for treadmill running and was looking for support for flat feet and weak ankles--these definitely deliver on those fronts!

I like ASICS because they are narrower in the heel for my A-B width foot. I bought this on-line and the fit is good. The build up in the sole especially around the heel is more pronounced than Im use to, thus the 4 rating.

Bought these shoes online. The same size I have always worn. Walked in them one time and my toes hit the end of the shoe. Now I cant return them and I spent slot of money for nothing. Not happy.

These were nothing like the kayano im used to. If I wanted a high heel tennis shoe I would have bought the bike springs. Why is the sole so big?!?

Have always loved Asics and the Gel Kayanos are a "go-to". I've done Hokas and Ons to try them out and came back to Asics.

Im so sad! I have bought these shoes for years! Probably like 20 pairs for running distance. I developed horrible plantar faciitis as they made these shoes more like hoka shoes losing their support and ruining the shoe!!!! I switched shoes to brooks adrenaline and immediately got relief. Running store even said these shoes are totally different now :( Darn you ASICS you ruined this shoe!

I've worn Gel Kayano's 27, 28, and now 30. The 20's were effective in aiding my flat foot. The new 30 model purchased showed lack of support after initial use. I immediately contacted Asics customer service and said I cannot process the return since I've worn it. After first use, my feet were in pain, now I can't return? #falseadvertisement

I have been wearing ASICS gel kayanos for over 20 years. I tried a few other brands in between and I was always disappointed. I recently switched to wider width ASICS, which felt like a dream. I absolutely love them. I have flat feet with arthritis in my ankles. These shoes provide excellent comfort, cushion and more importantly stability. I highly recommend.

After my podiatrist told me I need more supportive shoes, I purchased these. I have been wearing for a few weeks. My ankle is greatly improved. These are very comfortable, look great and still look new. I will likely purchase again. I definitely recommend these!

Good cushioning and shock absorption, however, I prefer my Asics Gel Nimbus 23s. I should have ordered what I was familiar with, but I wanted to try something new. These are OK, but the heel folds in slightly when I put them on and the tongue seems very short, which is slightly annoying when I am putting them on. The sole of the heel is also very wide and not particularly cute. Once they are on, they are OK, but I prefer the spring I get from the Gel Nimbus when running, and those don't have the folding heel and short tongue issues that these do. I think these are probably better for stability, but I don't normally have problems with that. I returned the first pair because they run a little shorter than the Gel Nimbus, so by the time I got the second pair, I didn't feel like returning them for a couple of minor issues, but I will know better next time.
