Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

I love the comfort of these sneakers. They are great for my pronation / weak ankles.

Greetings. I made the purchase with destinations to PR on July 15 and as of August 9 the merchandise has not arrived. I contact FedEx, tracking number 9261292013634320062711, and FedEx tells me they don't know where my package is, to contact ASICS again to see what to do. ASICS tells me they can't do anything, nor send the merchandise again, to wait more time and then claim my money.

For some reason the shoes hurt my front ankle despite tying the laces in a way that supported the ankles.

Ive been wearing Gel-Kayanos for many years, always in the same size. My last pair were the Kayano 27s and they were a perfect fit. Imagine my surprise when I bought this pair and the toe box was uncomfortably tight. I had received a 10% off discount when I purchased the shoes, so I contacted customer service thinking to exchange the pair for a larger size. I was told repeatedly that the 10% discount is a one use discount and that they couldnt help me with exchanging for a larger size. It was actually comical, because they advised within the same phone call that one should purchase their same shoe size when buying within the same brand/style as a general rule, but then also stated that going from the 27s to the 30s was a large jump and of course there would be changes made that would affect the fit. I was told that they would ask their supervisor to see if they could provide me with a discount on the larger size and send me an email with the results. The email came back saying I'm sorry but we cannot provide the 10% discount as it's for one-time use only. Im assuming asking their supervisor was just to get me off of the phone. I will be returning the shoes and purchasing from a different brand as ASICS clearly cares more about inflating their quarterly earnings than keeping loyal customers. This entire experience was hugely disappointing.

Sadly, ASICS has changed their design of these shoes and they dont work well for me. The outer sole of the shoe is much too thick and bulky, and Im beginning to have pain in my heal. Ive worn ASICS for over 30 years, and the Kayano most of that time, and have loved them until this latest revision. Until they change the size of the outer sole, Ill have to check out other models or possibly even other brands.

I had worn gel Kanos for over 12 years as they were the only shoe that didnt hurt my feet. Something has changed starting with the 30s and I no longer can wear them. I am very disappointed in the changes that were made.

I have worn the Gel-Kayano's for 12 years. Used to love the shoes. They are now terrible. There is too much foam, I cannot feel the ground under my feet and feel like I am walking on the floor of a bouncy house. Plus, oddly, the heel is now too narrow, and toe box is incredibly wide. Not sure who has feet this shape.

So glad I got these. They are comfortable and perfect for my daily walks. Would definitely buy again!

These are completely different from the gel Kayanos Ive purchased before. Too cushioned, and over correction of pronation that hurt my feet and knees. I wont be wearing them. I only wish Id turned them back before wearing them outside.

I have perennial tendinitis and these shoes have helped me a lot. My podiatrist recommended them and Im so thankful!!

I have worn Gel Kayanos for many years as the wide toe bed accommodated my bunions and they supported my knees well. Unfortunately, over the past few years ASICS has been changing them and they are now more narrow in the toe and do not seem to provide the same stability they once had. I had to experiment with other shoes to find a design that works for me. The Gel Nimbus seems to be working for me, so please dont change those!!

These fit well and are very comfortable. I cant get the size in store so ordering online worked best.

Doesn't feel like a wide. Toes were uncomfortable during workout

I felt the material of this shoe was 'cheap' in relation to past pairs of this shoe purchased in the past. The sole also looked/felt very cheap and plastic(y). the heel base was extremely wide - perhaps I did not realize that from the photo, but it felt like I was wearing a specialized shoe created for perhaps a diabetic or elder patient. Was not the right shoe for me

.Better then previous edition of ASICS gel Kayano which in my opinion was a failure Just get them

Really painful shoes that didnt last multiple hrs

I had to break in these shoes . I thought they would be so comfortable but they seemed narrower than the 29s

I previously had a Kayano 23, so re-ordered a more recent version, 30. However, the side panel was higher and rubbed against my ankle bone which made walking uncomfortable, even though the footbed was fine. I called customer service and they suggested to try the GT1000-13 which has a lower side panel which fits fine for walking.

The cushioning is comfortable. I like the colors. The width is comfortable. My foot slides forward in the shoe and presses against the front of the toe box when I walk which makes it feel too small. When I stop and scoot my foot backward in the shoe, there is sufficient room. The sole of one shoe is very stiff and causes my foot to slap against the ground with each step and makes the stride of that one foot feel off balance. I could not return the shoes because the return policy specifically states that you cannot return worn or washed shoes. I'm not sure how I would know if I wanted to return the shoe without wearing it first. This pair now just takes up space in my closet.

Very comfortable shoe. The fabric gets pills and pulls in it easily

These are great! Arch support is as described, and feels like walking on a cloud. 9.5 is true to size.

These are so insanely comfortable they have changed my experience running. I used to feel knee pain when running on the treadmill and now I dont feel anything and can run longer!

I am getting blisters on my leg,I used kayano starting from 26 ,but this is the worst. Outer sole of shoe is very cheap quality, just one month usage of the shoe that to just walking on road,can already notice notice the outer sole is torn

Ive worn Kayanos for years and the 30s are equally awesome. Beautiful teal color. Awesome fit.

Too squishy. I feel like I'm walking on a pillow. In addition.....I really needed a 12 Narrow but ASICS doesn't seem to have many narrow styles to choose from. When I first started ordering from them...they did...but.....not now.
