Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

I finally found my new favorite shoes. So comfortable on runs! I had tried 3 other brands before ASICS and now Im in love.

Why did we mess with the sole!!!??? I tend to over supinate while standing still. I don't want to know what's happening while I'm running. The old Asic Gel-Kayano were BEST seen and worn. They were my favorites and now, I can't wait to get on my pair of Hoka's or older generation Asic Gel-Kayano. You've really gone and messed up a trusty steed.

I have worn the Gel-Kayano model of shoe for many years. The last ones I ordered until my most recent pair was the Gel-Kayano 27, which have always been a great fit. (During Covid, I ordered 3 pairs online from Asics.) This last pair (the Gel-Kayano 30 was a very different shoe. It's much bulkier, especially around the heel, doesn't have as much of a forward tilt as the older models. It almost feels to bulky/wide. I hope you will make a shoe that's more similar to the older version. I was disappointed with this newest model.

The cushioning on the bottom has changed since the last version and its not as great.

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

After decades of wearing the same shoes, I must switch away from ASICS. Ive been wearing ASICS gel kayano for many years and changed my shoes religiously every 3 months when mileage reaches 350. customer service was completely useless and unreceptive. These shoes do not fit the way they always have, and walking was miserable. They didnt stand behind their product and they have lost a very loyal customer.

I have worn these shoes two days for work and for walking and I have blisters inside both of my heels. I've never had any issues with other Asics that I've worn. Customer service is TERRIBLE! Because my shoes have been worn they will not let me return them. Expensive shoes I can't even wear. Very disappointed!

Im an Asics only girl, Im a nurse and on my feet a lot and they never let me down.

Very comfortable and stylish. I had bought another brand as well to see which I like better for walking. I have Achilles pain and needed a more supportive shoe as I walk 2-3 miles a day. I have to say the Gel- Kayano 30 was by far the most comfortable and I have less pain after walking. My husband has been wearing them for years.

Unfortunately, this pair of Asics I purchased have disappointed me. The heel is thick in my opinion and I ordered a B regular width but shoe seems to be wide. I have other Asics which I love so perhaps this pair I was sent was just mislabeled.

Great recovery shoe! After achilles reconstruction I was able to train to pass my Army physical training test. I will be purchasing more in different colors. It's better Boost!

I bought these for my daughter and.they hurt her feet after wearing them only 45 minutes. blisters. They were the same size as her previous ones yet didnt fit the same. Customer service is very strict on only returning a completely new shoe having not worn it at all even if you have it a short time. They referred me to Warranty who obviously didnt look at what I sent because the asked for the same information plus other things seemingly to make it as difficult and cumbersome as possible to return . I was surprised their customer service was so poor. They even refuse to buy a supervisor or manager on the line. If you must buy this shoe, I wouldnt buy it direct because of their poor customer relations. With so many other options, I suggest buying a different shoe brand with better return policies and customer service. Doesnt seem to me like they stand by their product.

Since Asics has changed this shoe it is no longer as narrow as it use to be. The bottom part of the shoe is way too wide.

Excellent fit, super comfortable. I like the extra thickness of the sole.

Great shoe if youre looking for considerable support, but still a lot of comfort. I especially love the extra support for the inside of my arches. My feet tend to pronate when I walk/run and these feel great.

The shoes are literally perfect. They feel like youre running on cushions or clouds!

I literally returned this shoe within 24 hours of receiving it and got my refund. The shoe was uncomfortable and made my feet hurt to the point that I felt like I was limping. I got a size 8.5 and ordered online, not sure if 9 wouldve been a better fit or whether the shoe was uncomfortable in itself.

I've been wearing Kayano shoes since the first one. These are the best. A giant leap from the 29 shoe of last year. More cushion and stability. I like the "beefy" sole look and the way it cradles my heel. Thirty miles or more a week in these and no pain anywhere. You got it right Asics on this version. Just ordered another pair.

Nice shoes, tried several sizes of the 30 but had to return them. The shoes are too wide for my feet. I loved the Kayano 29.

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

The fit is OK. I have a narrow heel so still have some slippage there. I so hope that they will make a color other than black.

Im really sad they changed the soles of their beloved kayano. This new model does not cushion my foot well. It is very stiff especially on the outer part of my sole. Please go back to the original model. I loved the 27, 28 and especially the 29. I will be returning these and getting an extra pair of the 29s instead.

Very comfortable, but part of the sole is coming loose after a short time. Disappointing!
