Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

The best feeling shoe I've owned, even better than Hokas. Love this shoe! My feet don't kill me with this shoe! Thank you Asics! Please don't change the cushion and arch support!

I'm going out from a fascitis plantar, calcaneus bone and achilles tendon (I know) injury to a marathon training, I have been using Kayano-30's until 10 miles and they are pretty comfortable, the support to my arch is unbelievable and the heel drop is perfect for my injury. I have ran with no pain since. Im planing to run the marathon with them!

Super supportive and comfortable. I'm recovering from foot surgery and the stability is excellent.

I'm so happy with the Kayano 30 shoes! I bought mine in December and wear them daily so comfortable and lite weight. I've been wearing the Kayano's for years and these are just perfect. I had the 28 series and they were horrible hardly wore them because they caused my feet to be fatigued and shin pain.

Love the cushioning at the toe box, feels like I'm walking on clouds. Love the stability at the heel, I can really tell the difference when i wear other shoes.

I love these shoes, the cushion and the positioning are perfect and really help my back pain. I have a job where I stand or am on my feet for hours, so these really help with the comfort in my feet as well. I do have a very narrow long foot, so they are a bit too wide for me, but I am able to lace them up enough!! Wish these shoes came in a narrow width.

I needed a shoe to help me get moving again after being sedentary and indoors for a full year. Everything hurt when I started walking again, so I decided to invest in some good shoes. Being inside for a year, I actually wasn't used to wearing shoes, and my walking was somewhat unstable. These shoes really helped me regain my balance and slowly work up to walking a normal amount. Last year I averaged 500 steps a day, now I average 5000. It's still not where I want to be but it is a whole lot better than it was. Thanks for helping me get out of the house!

Awesome fit! Comfy, supportive and responsive :) !

Great support and the cush can't be beat. Makes landings so much more enjoyable!

I bought these as I am in a marathon build and wanted some extra cushion. Additionally, I am an over-pronator and wanted some support. These shoes are wonderfully cushioned and supportive and make doing long runs much more comfortable. I used to wear a different brand shoe for long runs and the bottoms of my feet would hurt by the ends of the runs. This hasn't happened at all since switching to these

I bought these recommended by my ankle doctor after having torn a ligament and just having bad ankles. I run xc and need to have good stability shoes for running on uneven trails! These are so far providing me with good support! They are also so soft and plush. They fit so comfortably and Ive also been getting a lot of compliments on their look already! I love them!

LOVE! this shoe. I bought the Black/Lilac Hint and it's beautiful! and it's also very comfortable! and gives great stability. I normally wea a size 8 but I ordered an 81/2 and it's perfect! I will definitely! order another pair in a different color.

What happened to the your sizing! I have been wearing Gel-Kayano for over 30 years. I have always been a size 7. Now, I wear a 7 1/2

I have worn Gel-Kayano's for 15+ years, never an issue but the 30's are giving me blisters on the side of my right heel! Not sure if it's a change in the footbed but after only 5 miles they are rubbing.

Not a bad shoe, but pretty dead underfoot. I haven't worn other Kayanos, so may be an unfair review, but whenever I wear this shoe it just seems hard to run (relative to other shoes I wear like the GEL Nimbus or Puma Foreverrun, which is another stability shoe). The foam gives nothing back. The shoe is heavy. And the color is very meh (I got the navy-red). All in all, won't be buying anymore Kayanos.

Started off strong. I am very slow due to a cervical surgery and because I'm pretty slow anyways. I have only worn them 15 times and I feel like I need extra pronation support. Not too big and bulky like some reviewers say, very comfortable and I cannot say enough about the stitched in tongue. For the money if I'm only gonna get a month out of them I would not purchase again.

I have been a loyal Kayano only girl for about 15 years. What did ASICS do?!!! These are ugly and have been ruined with the update. If I wanted Hoka shoes, I would have bought them. I can't run in these! Where is the support? I want to cry that after 15 years I have to try and find another running brand. Please go back to how the 28's were.I beg you!

Soles are hard as a rock, no flex. Very jarring to my knees

I usually buy this model and can count on fit. This time they completely changed it. Runs a half size smaller than usual, no arch support. Had to return them. With the lack of variety in the few stores that still exist, it will take me months to find a new shoe.

I've worn ASICS for more than 20 years. I have been disappointed with the last few iterations of the Gel-Kayano. I find them to break down easily and have an overly wide toe box. I will admit they are comfortable, but not for long. I also think ASICS could have better color choices for women's shoes.
