Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kinsei® Blast

I love these sneakers. I've purchased a few different styles of ASICS this past year because I am a PT and stand long hours on my feet, and really needed a sneaker that could hold up to that without giving me significant foot pain/soreness at the end of the day. These have definitely been the best sneakers so far. I also run on my free time, but have dedicated these sneakers for work (standing, walking, performing light exercises). But I do feel they would be a great running sneaker as well. I hope to continue buying this same model because I love them that much. They do run slightly small though. I usually am an 8.5 in most ASICS and other running shoes, but for these a 9 was much better. Also, I was worried about the look of the shoe being too bright and overwhelming, maybe even unprofessional for my workplace. But I ordered the black version and I get a lot of compliments from my coworkers and patients about the cool look of this shoe. They are definitely going to be my go-to going forward for work.

Love these shoes. I was heart broken when they discontinued the kinsei. I had been wearing them for years and years. I had yet to find a solid replacement. The kinsei OG was nothing like the previous Kinsei's and all hope was lost. Finally the blast is here!! So comfortable. So much cushion. I'm on my feet all day and these shoes are the best. I no longer run, but if I did these would be perfect. They are light weight, neutral and super cushioned. Please do not discontinue again!!

I'm in love with these shoes! I'm not a runner, but I go on an 11 miles walk 3 times a week. Usually by the end of the walk, my heels and lower back ache. In my Asics, I have no more achey heels and back. Super comfy, super support, super cute. These shoes are great for walking.

Best shoe I have ever run in. Perfect amount of Cush and highly supportive. Super helpful with my feet that underpronate and they look beautiful on. Shaped so flattering! ASICS you guys hit this one out of the ball park.

I have purchased Asics for years but these are the best shoes I have ever had. So comfortable. I have plantar fasciitis and since I have worn these shoes I have not had any discomfort. Well worth the price.

More comfortable than my Hoka Bondi shoes! Not heavy.

Great fit. Wife loves them. Toe box is better than Brooks. Extremely comfortable

I absolutely LOVE these shoes! I have 5 screws in my talus bone, which will always cause discomfort, not with these shoes!! Please don't ever stop making these, I am finally walking pain free and this is the first time since 2014!

Great shoes. Was a Mizuno & Brooks diehard until these. Super comfortable. Great rebound without the mush. You can still feel where you feet are going vs just a ton of sponge.

Extremely comfortable and lightweight! Better than expected :)

As a runner and walker, Love it! Will buy another! Better than Nimbus shoes I ever had for 8 years. So comfortable.

Super supportive , comfortable and cushioned running

I absolutely love these shoes, I was a big fan of the novablasts, these are similar but much better!

Very comfortable shoe. Great cushioning. Love it. Have been wearing these shoes for a couple of weeks and no issues.

For years and years I have worn the ASICS nimbus & loved them. Now I have a new favorite, the Kinsei blast! They are sooooo comfortable and light. I'm a nurse so I'm on my feet through out the day! These Kinsei blast make my feet still feel great at the end of a 12 shift & that's saying a lot!!!! I definitely recommend them!

I just got these and I love them. They are just the right mix of support and comfort. These are some of the best shoes I have ever had. I work out in them and they are so comfortable and have just the right amount of bounce. If you have the cash grab yourself a pair!

Super comfy and amazing to look at. These are the shoes that I can count on. They make it easy to wear from long periods of time. I am really happy with my purchase.

One of my favorite style of Asics. Love the heel bumper on the inside
