Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kinsei Max

Very comfortable. I was looking for a shoe for my problem (plantar fasciitis) feet that was comfortable and looked good. I have worn Hoka in the past and I like these as much for comfort and better for looks.

Love the fit, cushion, weight - pretty much everything about this shoe. It's my second pair - kept my older pair for everyday wear and the new pair for work. Only downfall with new pair is they squeak on the tile floor! I won't be sneaking up on anyone at work!

Super comfortable from beginning to end of my run. No pinch points, no slipping, no heel pain. I would do these in every color.

very comfortable, lots of spring. i really like Asics shoes for durability and comfort

I am a nurse and work 12hr shifts. This is the absolute most comfortable shoe Ive ever owned and have it in 3-4 colours. Please dont discontinue!!

One shoe rubbed against my ankle and I don't find them as soft as the Nimbus. I returned them.

They are really comfortable, light weight and I love the color. I will be ordering another color but waiting on them to come back in stock, can:t wait to purchase them. These are really nice sneakers, I am not a sneaker person, but I use them for gym, I really love them.

I own several pairs of Asics, and this is by far my favorite. I practically bounce when I wear them. So easy on my knees and joints. I have super high arches, and they are very supportive. I hope they release them in more colors (preferably purples, teals, or blue) soon!

Just got these and they are ok, I'm an 8.5 and could prov swap for a 9. They run a little small.

Lifelong knee problems (supination). I had orthopedic customized orthotics, knee braces, PT, everything . These shoes, with Dr. Scholl inserts, keep me moving 10 hours with no knee pain! I bought 6 pairs after the first! 61 year old female.

Never received them. Its been almost a month and Im still waiting for them to acknowledge that they are lost by their shipper and it has no fault of mine to send me a new pair. Not very happy with customer service and their ridiculousness of a policy of how long it takes for such a large company to replace them. I buy 6+ pairs of sneakers per year. To nickel and dime me over $130 which Ive already paid for on my credit card. Ive never been treated so poorly from a customer service dept of a company in my entire life. very disappointed.

These sneakers are the ones I have been hoping to find forever! Great stability and cushioning. Very comfortable and stylish. My foot doesn't roll off to the side in these sneakers. I could not be happier with them.

Very nice sneakers. Not good for walking long distance

Super support & comfort- another great show from ASICS

I have been wearing asics exclusively for over 10 years. I Work on my feet as a nurse and I reccomend them to everyone. Until now. I always get size 8.5 these are too big I had to double check that they werent a size 9. They dig into my ankle on one shoe to the point I cant wear them after 1 day. I was limping around all day at work. And of course I cant return them bc I worse then once. Hesitant to order shoes only anymore from asics online.

Excellent support. Attractive design. Quality is superior.

I love these shoes so much. So soft, smooth, and light!

I keep wanting to give it a better rating but after a few months of wearing I just can't. They don't live up to to their predecessors. I also recently had hip surgery so I wanted to blame my leg for not having the strength to lift but I don't have the same problem in other shoes. I believe these shoes soles are to long and thick. As I'm walking on flat surfaces, my foot get caught and it propels one leg forward and usually keeps my bad leg in place, let me tell you after surgery that is painful. These shoes are going to make me fall. I'm young 40s and I don't like these shoes bc they make me feel like a fall risk.

I have been running in the gel kinsei blast for 3 years. These updated shoes are no where like the previous versions. The shoe is big and to wide. The previous versions were narrow and fit much better. Please bring back the narrow version

Preferred this for distance running over the novablast for super high arches. Bought the novas for running and the kinsei for work because I prefer the look of them, ended up switching because theyre more supportive for me.

I purchased the Kinsei as a work shoe. I am a RN and I spend 12 hour days on my feet, so I needed something supportive and comfortable. The Kinsei has been perfect! I work three 12 hour shifts in a row each week and my feet still feel good by the end of the third day. They are by far the most comfortable shoes and I will definitely be repurchasing.

Been an Asics fan for over 40 years - I'm done. After a decade of watching Asics quality fade, I gave Asics 'one last try'. With less than two months and 40 miles on the shoe, the bottom is vanishing. I agree with COFly Girls' review; the bottom looks like pencil eraser shavings. This is happening to mine as well. It seems to be a premature wear issue. It is definitely a shoe manufacturing defect. The toe box is tight. Causes foot rotation into supination and will cause ankle pain/injury. The mesh causes foot slippage and no ankle support. Asics needs to support this shoe, stand behind it, and offer refunds or exchanges.
