Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

Feels cushier than previous editions. I have gotten used to them but it is a different feel. I do put an insole in them.

Best kyano yet! Has extra padding on the midfoot where I need it. Great for my three mile runs. Ive been a fan since 2008 but have grown to need more padding.

Had the Kayano 27 and 28 and did not like the new soles of these shoes which is why I returned them

The only shoe that works for me! It's narrow enough for my narrow foot and very narrow heel. It's super comfortable. Only downside is it usually only comes in one color but let that be the worst thing.

so comfortable for a wide toe base and skinny heel.

I have Plantar Fasciitis and these shoes have been great for my arch, heels, and the soles of my feet, but the stitching and material around the shoe laces dig into the bridge of my feet and I cant wait to get home and take them off! I bought two pair and they both had the same problem.

I purchased 2 previous pair of Kayano-30's and they were great. This pair were not the same quality and did not have the same comfort and support.

The color is great! The shoes give a good mix of stability and cushioning.

Its so comfortable! It makes running so much easier too. I will definitely be getting this again!

Happy with the amount of toe space I have a bunion and have ample room for my toes

I was really looking forward to these because I LOVED the 29s. These didnt have the same springiness and while theyll get the job done, Im a bit let down. YMMV but the difference between these and the 29s was staggering to me.

Purchased 10.5. Good support for long work hours, and workouts .These shoes Fits well, and are comfortable

Sizing chart is wrong. When i returned shoes for bigger size they charged me a higher price and then wouldnt allow first responders discount to be applied. Shoes are comfy but overpaid for no reason.

I love my gel-Kayano ASICS shoes. This is probably my 5th or 6th pair. I love that they support my pronated feet so well that I do not have foot pain. I use them for daily workouts as well as wearing them for everyday errands. I usually go through several pair a year. In addition, I wear a size 12 in womens and I love that these come in a size 13 too.

After wearing Kayanos for the past 12 years for daily walking, this will be my last pair. The shoe build and fit has changed so much that it no longer works for me. The toe box seems more narrow and shallow. The first time I wore them, I got a painful blister on the medial side of my right foot near my heel. When I reached out to customer service, I was told no refunds or exchanges on shoes that have been worn outside. I have continued to try and break them in, since I cant afford to replace them. After wearing them 6-7 times, they are still the most uncomfortable athletic shoes I have ever owned. This is so unfortunate, as Ive probably had 12-14 pair of Kayanos over the years and they have been comfortable right out of the box. My next pair will be from a manufacturer that allows returns if the shoe is uncomfortable ( Brooks, Nike, Altra) upon normal use.

I absolutely love these shoes for walking! I have completely flat feet. This model of shoe allows me to walk in complete comfort. I know Ive got a great shoe when I dont have to think about my feet when Im walking.

The best Kayanos yet! Ive been a Kayano girl for years and this is the most comfortable shoe yet! I love it!

These are very comfortable but extremely bulky. I would like for them to be slightly more fashionable.

I was unable to run in them my ankles started to hurt doesnt have enough support like a regular shoe the top part is low compared to all the sneakers Ive own. The worst part is I couldnt exchange them For a different pair because I wore them outside, how are we suppose to test a shoe if we cant go outside.

Gel-Kayano 30 did not fit as well as previous Kayano. I am a RN and I also love to walk, workout and travel. I was in Italy walking over 10,000 steps a day and the support and comfort did not feel like previous Kayano I have worn for many years. Gel Kayano has shears be my top sneaker. I am really disappointed with the fit, narrower tie box, fit and comfort. I plan on returning them. Not my favorite Gel-Kayano. Sorry ASICS.

I have had many pairs of the Kayano over the past 12 years (probably about 15 pairs) and they have always been very comfortable and good quality. I recently bought the 30s and after a one hour walk, I had a blister on the side of one foot and bruising under my second toenail on both feet. Unfortunately, after contacting customer service, they offer absolutely no refund or return of any kind if the shoe has been worn. I now have expensive shoes that I can neither wear nor return. This is my last purchase from Asics. I will look for future walking shoes from companies willing to stand behind their products and more concerned about customer satisfaction. Worst shoe I have ever purchased!

Dont buy these shoes! Too stiff and too clunky for running.
