I really love this shoe. It's incredibly comfortable and nice. It has excellent cushioning and makes my runs very gentle on my joints and muscles. At the same time, the shoe feels lightweight thanks to the light material in the sole. I use the ASICS Gel Kayano 30 for long-distance runs and distance-run.

I just didn't like the super wide sole that sticks out to the sides of the shoe. Very comfortable, though.

This shoe was big on me - not sure if it's the shoe or if I just needed a smaller size. I have successfully worn the same size in Asics before.

The Gel-Kayano 30 is cushioned well for walking and running but ironically it is not a good sneaker for standing on your feet even on a rugged floor. The glue was apparent around the front of the sneaker. The sneaker is very light on the feet and is appealing to the eye.

The footbed cushion is substantial for long walks but it's a bit clunky and the shoe doesn't bend as much as I would like it. Also, I wish the arch support was higher.

The width is too narrow for my foot, squeezing my toes, but otherwise, it’s a good shoe.

I was hopeful this would be a great shoe for me but unlike many other Asics shoes I have worn, these rode higher on the outside and rubbed my ankle bone so were not a shoe I could keep. However, the toe box is wider than many other Asics shoes and was comfortable for my bunions but was still a bit roomy.

I will give these shoes a 4. I feel like the 29s were better. I have a pair of both right now and i way prefer the 29s.

I ordered the extra wide size because in the past I have ordered regular size & had to " break in" the sneaker. I still had a little pain to my feet with " breaking in" these too but subsided with use. I'm happy with my purchase & plan to stick with ASICS brand.

I love how this shoe feels. I am a supinator and my feet roll outward. In these I think I will be able to not do that as much. They were cushiony. The color I ordered, however, glowed in the dark! Returned to buy the solid black ones.

I have a narrow foot and have a lot of trouble finding shoes that fit. I'm so glad Asics makes some styles in narrow and hope they continue to do so. My only complaint about the Gel-Kayano is the thick sole. It makes the shoe comfortable but stiff. Otherwise, love it.

Rating is more like 3.75. Asics is the only sports shoe that my narrow feet seem to like and I try to stick with the brand. But lately the narrow versions are running a bit wider than previous versions, so I wear an extra pair of socks, etc., to accommodate. Still a good solid, shock absorbing shoe, but may have to try other brands in the future.

The shoes felt really wide to my moderately wide feet and the heel was especially pinchy. The Kayano 29 was less tight so it seems like Asics is going back to their sizing that works best for not such wide feet.

The Kayano has changed too much. The pair I ordered hurt my instep something less cushion ones didnt do. I think ASICS should give you a choice of cushion preference one prefers. I do like that there is a choice in widths. I probably wont buy this model again.

I have plantar fasciitis and morton's neuroma in one foot. I bought a half size larger than I usually wear and was able to fit my custom inserts in them, and the toe box was perfectly large for my toes to spread. The cushioning is phenomenal.

I really like the support and the sole on these shoes but my toes are too snug, both the wide and regular versions could do with a wider toe box.
