Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 14

ASICS Gel-Kayano 14 fit - Fit is pretty much right on. If between sizes, go for the 1/2 size larger. Zappos service is its usual outstanding.

Great shoe! I am a nurse and work 12 hour shifts. I am on my feet for 11.5 of the 12 hours. This is my second pair. I need a shoe that has a lot of "impact absorption" and so that is why I purchase running shoes. I did not need to break these in and wore them to work the day after receiving them. My feet felt GREAT!! Thank-you Asics and Zappos!

Incredible - I have always been a loyal NB person (1981) and was on my way out to pay for my NB 768 which I thought felt great, when the shoe sales person asked me if I cared to look at the Asics Kayano 14. I had already tried on several pairs of shoes by different makes and was sold on the NB. Wow I was instantly surprised at the comfort level not to mention the extremely good looks. These shoes fit like a glove around every part of my foot. Of course the minute I got home I went for a two mile run and let me tell you I felt like I could go forever.

Just amazing! I have used both the Gel-Kayano 13 and 14. The 14 are just great! They have more stability than the Gel-Kayano 13 and are roomy at the front. My toes never feel tight. I bought my first pair last April and decided to get another one a couple of weeks ago. I use orthotics and these shoes accommodate perfectly. I highly recommend them.

Great Cushioning! These shoes are great if you're only looking for impact cushioning. I'm not a runner. I've had a prosthetic hip for 21 years so cushioning is very important to me. I love these! I needed to buy a 1/2 size larger. I have narrow feet & the narrow width is perfect. Also, the mesh fiber breathes & my feet stay cool. I highly recommend these shoes.

Awesome Shoe! I am a loyal Asics Gel-Kayano fan. I've used the Gel-Kayano for about 3 years and have gone through 4 pairs. This particular shoe is extremely comfortable and worth every penny. There seems to be more cushion and a better "hold" on the foot for running. I highly recommend the shoe and ZAPPOS service is awesome.

Liked Kayano 10 better but still good - I had the Kayano 10 - my first Asics which I loved and wore them for couple of years longer then I should have. I used to have Nikes and always got blisters on my toes; with these I had no blisters at all. Now I run more often; around 10 miles a week and got these Kayano 14s. So far they are great, have great ankle support, and love the front cushioning, I did not experience any discomfort with on my knees and I ran on concrete quite often. The gel was a big buying point for me for the knees. The cushioning in 10 was better I think and they felt so much softer but the 14s are good too. Overall great shoe. But hope Asics goes back to designing the new Kayano more like 10 which felt so puffy. I went with a slighter bigger 8.5 vs my usual 8 and it feels great.

Best support and comfort ever! I have tried many shoes. For some reason I just didn't try Asics until now. These shoes have the best support for running and are extremely comfortable. I am won over.

Best running shoes - I love these shoes. I bought them for running, but they are so attractive I hate to wear them on the road. I have very narrow feet, and I bought the AA, which fit great and almost look as sophisticated as dress shoes. They might be a little shorter than my last pair of Gel-Kayano's, but I don't think I would have ordered the next larger size. These shoes are a splurge--they're so expensive--but for running or just for showing off, these are the shoes to buy.

Great shoe! I've bought Gel Kayano's for several years now and these are just as great. I really like this color combination as it’s a bit subtle w/the chocolate. Very good shoe and I would highly recommend it. I go with this model because my feet are just a little wide (but I don't order the Wides) and I need the arch support badly.

Great running shoe... This is a great running shoe, very comfortable with great support. My only real complaint is that I wish they had more color choices, but that's just a personal preference. Overall a really good running shoe. I would buy them again.

Great workout shoes and they come in wide!

Asics Gel Kayano 14 - This is a comfortable sneaker. I suffer from flat feet and posterior tibital tendonitis. This sneaker provides relief and feels very supportive. Feels true to size. My only wish is that Asics would make some of their comfortable sneakers in darker colors.

Happy - I have been an avid Adidas fan for some time now and was hesitant at first to switch to the Asics, but am glad I did. I have recently tried to get into running, but have had a horrible time with shin splints. A friend encouraged me to get the Kayano's and although they haven't completely alleviated my shin splints, they have helped and they are extremely comfortable. I always wear a size 5, but ordered a 1/2 size larger after reading other's comments, and they fit well.

Tamsin - This is a good, solid shoe for slight to moderate over-pronators. The stability really does propel me forward, and I feel like my form is better. Also good to cruise around town in. Zappos rocks! If I want a certain shoe, and they have it I wouldn't consider shopping elsewhere.

Asics - I love my Asics; they are wonderful and comfortable to wear all day. Because I severely pronate, I needed a shoe that would give me support and the Gel-Kayano does that for me.

These shoes took me a long way - I trained and raced in these shoes for a half marathon and a 189 mile relay race. They were comfortable the entire time. My ankles tend to turn out so these shoes gave me a lot of support. And even running my long runs, my feet never went numb and I never got blisters or lost any nails. By far, these have been the best shoes I have owned. I normally wear a size 7 and bought them in a size 8 for when my feet expanded when running a long time.

Asics Gel Kayano 14 is awesome - The shoes are wonderful, my feet feel great.

Excellent Fit - I have wide feet and bad knees, these sneakers are extremely comfortable and supportive.

Having narrow and long feet that tend to over- pronate, I find it difficult to find athletic shoes that do not look like shoe boxes on my feet. These shoes suit all of my needs and are attractive as well.

Great shoes - It kills me to spend this much on shoes, but I'm hard to fit (11 AA in running shoes), so I take what I can get. They're fairly lightweight, breathable, and accommodate my orthotics without issue.

I had never worn Asics before - thought NB was the only shoe made in my size (13AA in NB because they traditionally run short). I ordered the 13AA in the Asics (I wear 11.5AA in dress shoe) and really love the fit. I really like the fact they fit your foot closer through the arch. I am a fast walker - can't run - and these shoes are comfortable, well cushioned and look better than I expected on my long foot. Give 'em a try - they're worth it. Also - Zappos is great - I recommend them to everyone I know.

Pillows - These shoes when on my feet feels like I'm walking on pillows. What a great shoe!

Great shoe - This is my 3rd pair of Gel-Kayano, I'm hooked. I have orthotics and there is room to wear them under the pad that comes with the shoe.

Great running shoes - What is there to say... I love them and been running with them since at least 5 years.
