Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 30

Love the kayano 30. It is a keeper for avid walkers like me. I am thrilled with the Improved stability and cushioning.

This style really helos with my plantar fascilitis and provides great stability.

Comfort and stability abound in this shoe. The toe box is wide and sole of the shoe is wide and sturdy, providing stability. I have been buying ASICS for years, but this is the most comfortable shoe to date.

Awesome shoe! Definitely going to buy this style again!

I have been buying this style for years - they have been the best fit for my narrow feet. In this latest update my feet are swimming in the shoe. The narrow is not very narrow.

Gel Kayano 30, I have only bought Gel Kayano shoes for the last 20 years. I upgrade every year to the new model. I love the cushion, its like little pillows for your feet. I love the shoe & comfort. The only problem I notice. While running if I hit a wet spot or any loose sand on the road or sidewalk the sole is very slippery. I only noticed it with the 30s. I still love the shoe & will continue to upgrade.

I love these new Gel ASICS. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn.

I've worn Kayano's since #15. Was less impressed from 21-26, but they got it right again at 28, 29 and now 30 is FANTASTIC!!!! Love my Kayano's especially for my Overpronate feet and being on a fast paced nursing unit. Thanks Guys!

These are so comfortable. They highly recommend these. Dont listen to the bad reviews. These are great shoes

Not at all happy with them. The toe of the shoe is as wide as an elephant. I need to return them.

I've run in Kayanos for more than 20 years, and this is the first time they haven't had enough support for my feet. They are very light and comfortable, but they allow my feet to pronate and I have sore Achilles and calves for a few days after I run in them.I hope they keep selling the Kayano 29's for awhile, as I won't be buying the new model again.

I run on average 3-4 times a week for 30-45 minutes. I have a scoliosis so I need a lot of support/cushion from my shoes. I have tried the best and most expensive shoes from Nike, and the best and most expensive shoes from Adidas and this pair is so much better. With Nike and Adidas, I feel like I pay for the brand and the hype. With these shoes, I pay for quality, comfort and support. The shoes are light and the soles absorb all the shocks. It feels like running on clouds. I am never buying from another brand.

Very comfortable cushioning for working in operating room. Job requires both great deal of walking and standing. Like the wide size for extra room by end of a 12 hr shift. Comfortable cushioning with my neutral gait where I land usually more on my heel. Has helped with pain I was having in Achilles tendon area.

I couldnt wait for these to come out, ordered a pair right at midnight. I have a regular width foot and they are too narrow, my foot rides the inside of the toe box. I sized up and still the same issue. Also, the upper isnt as breathable as I had hoped. Kayano 29 ran hot for me and expected a fit in this model. Really disappointed

Worst Gel Kayano yet. Totally uncomfortable. The best part of kayano is gone. Now it has that same "boost" that some of us cannot wear.

Unbelievable comfort from day one. I was going to get another pair of 29s and Im so glad I waited a few weeks for these to be available.

Super happy with the 30s. While its only been a few runs - it feels as though the stability is better. The shoe actually hugs my heels all the way around which is great for my skinny ankles. Wide enough toe box and it feels as though I am running on pillows. In my first 6 mile run I felt as though I could run 6 more.

Major improvements in kayano 30. I am so pleased with the look, stability and comfort. Kayano 40 is a keeper.

Love the toe room and soft ride while jogging! Def buying another pair.

I have been buying the Gel-Kayanos since version 24. These are by far the worst. First, they feel too soft and not supportive like the previous versions. Second, they look ridiculous when on. The sole of the shoe is about a centimeter larger than the upper of the shoe. The material looks cheap, like knock-offs. I am very disappointed and wish they were more similar to version 29. Not sure why they made the changes they did. Will be returning.

I was really looking forward to these because I LOVED the 29s. These didn't have the same springiness and while they'll get the job done, I'm a bit let down. YMMV but the difference between these and the 29s was staggering to me.

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.

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.
