Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Kayano® 13

Used for 60 mile walk... worked like a charm - I bought these to wear in a 3 day, 60 mile walk, and I love them. They are comfortable and provided great support. I will definitely buy another pair.

Great running shoe for me! This shoe cradles my heels, have never gotten blisters. Great arch support for medium arches. Seems everyone has a different experience with every running shoe so best to try them on first!

ASICS - my best basics - I have several pair of ASICS Gel styles and colors. They are the best fit and the most comfortable athletic shoes in my opinion. I have tried all the major brands, but ASICS are the only brand I can wear all day. My shoes run anywhere from 7-1/2 for a sandal up to 8-1/2, which is the size I wear in ASICS. I have slightly narrow and very flat feet, and the medium width is a good fit. I'm forever a loyal ASICS customer.

My favorite shoe - I wear these shoes all the time. Great for fit, comfort and looks. Plus, they arrived in less than 24 hours after I ordered them, without an extra fee. Zappos emailed me that they were arriving early without charge.

Very pleased - Got my shoes quicker than expected. Thank you for the upgrade on my shoes! I needed them because I am on my feet all day.

The best running shoe! This shoe has been consistent, comfortable, and supportive. I just purchased my 3rd pair, in gold, and I put them on and started running. No breaking in required! I love the gold colors - blues and grays get so boring in the world of running shoes!

Top of the line running shoe - A must have for any serious runner. An excellent running shoe that provides maximum support and cushion.

Happy Feet! This is a great shoe with lots of stability. Sizing up a half size was perfect for the fit. My feet are happy when I run!

Comfortable shoe and able to accommodate orthotics which is a must for me. It's great to be able to find a shoe in a larger size and width. This is the second pair I've gotten. Nice shoe!

I was introduced to the Kayano line a few years ago while preparing for the 2003 NYC Marathon. They were by far the most comfortable long distance running shoe I had worn to-date. The sizes seem to run a little small, but once you have the right fit they are great. I wish they were a little less expensive. I have tried the less expensive Asics models, but they do not perform as well.

Helps my IT problems - This shoe was recommended to me by my local running store. I have IT problems when I run long distance and need a lot of inner arch support. There is also great cushion, allowing me to run several hours until my feet bottoms really start to throb.

Excellent comfort, wear, & looks, but feels 1 size smaller - Especially great for warm climates b/c construction allows good ventilation.

Perfect shoe to get your butt into shape! I chose this shoe based on a recommendation from my sister in law who runs 5K and 10K races all the time. I never even tried it on, but ordered it based on my actual shoe size and it was a perfect fit. I've been wearing it for the last 3 weeks during a "boot camp" that I've been doing as my workout 4 days a week, and the other two days I have been running 3.5 miles in them. The boot camp is at the beach so I am on the hard sand, in the deep sand, on the grass and on concrete. They have been an awesome shoe for all of these activities on all the different surfaces. I was even having a problem with plantar fasciitis on my left foot, and that has improved significantly by having such a supportive shoe. I obviously highly recommend this shoe.

Style, Support & Comfort - I've been buying the Gel-Kayano for years just getting the updated version. The shoes are great and offer wonderful arch support without feeling too stiff. It is comfy and light and great for running. Best shoe I have ever had.

Best running shoes ever - I've been buying the Gel-Kayano for at least 2 years now. I just keep getting the updated version. I run a lot and have never had any problems with them.

Love them! These shoes give great arch support, I've been loving them on my long runs :)

Good support and fit - For other brands of running shoes I normally have to order a 1/2 size larger, but the size 9 (my regular size) provided a true fit, allowing the toe-room needed for a running shoe. I compared the fit between the Brooks Trance and the Asics Kayano13...the Asics had better arch support, felt lighter and more stable.

Great shoe. This is my 2nd pair and I am planning on ordering a 3rd. I have high arches and tend to over-pronate, I still need an insert in these but they offer the best support. Have tried other ASICS but didn't get the support and cushioning that I needed.

Excellent shoe, never disappointed with ASICS, I bought the orange ones, which are much nicer looking too!

Once again a great shoe! I ordered these online and have never done that with running shoes, but I have purchased Kayano so many times that I figured it was a safe shot. Once again I am thrilled with the comfort, fit and look of the shoe. I got the gold ones, which were golder than they look in the picture, but they are really cool and quite different looking from my other pairs of sneakers.

Finally - I am very happy w/ my gold and silver Kayano 13's. Although I want to warn those that the 13's run a bit larger, normally in this shoe I need a 7 and settled on a 6 1/2. What’s weird though is I went through three pairs of 13's to find the right fit. The periwinkle ones I tried in both 6 1/2 and 7, and felt horrible, no cushion. I tried the gold and white 7's, too big, finally I got the gold and white AND orange peel 6 1/2's and they are awesome! I even tried the 2120's and hated them. Blisters immediately. So, if this years feel different than the 11's and 12's, try a different color! Don't give up, this years just happens to run a bit different size wise and maybe the periwinkle ones got manufactured at a less quality facility??? Who knows? Love my gold, and oranges!!

Asics Gel-Kayano 13 - These are my go to running shoes. I've tried other styles of Asics which are also good, but always I return to these as my favorites. No breaking in period needed and provide much needed support. They are a little $$ but well worth it and I don't recommend skimping on price when it comes to a good running/gym shoe. As with all Asics, I go up a 1/2 size from my regular shoe size.

ASICS Gel Kayano-13 - WOW...I've owned several different ASICS running shoes, but these are the most comfortable ones so far I have owned. They fit great (especially at the heel), they are lightweight, just awesome... I am planning on purchasing another pair...They are worth every penny.

Asics Gel Kayano 13 - This shoe is great for those that overpronate. I have been having severe knee pain until I started wearing these shoes while running. My knee pain is gone and I have no complaints with these shoes. I will stay with the Asics Kayano as long as they keep making a quality shoe!
