These are the best pair of shoes you gift your feet. I have been wearing the Kayano series for more than 7 years now and since then I havent moved to any other shoe or brand

The shoes generally look good and are comfortable, but the base looks bulky. I prefer the older style.

I love the redesign of the Gel-Kayano 30. The extra cushion is wonderful. Very comfortable with solid support.

I buy 4 to five pairs a year for Atleast the last 10 years. The most recent pay start coming apart on the side toward the toe. This time the first week. No exaggeration . Every pair!!!!! I wil be returning 5 pairs this time because in the past I didnt have the time. Now Im fed up with the quality!!!! Complete garbage !!!!!!

Ive been in ASICS for over 15 years ( Nimbus and Kayano) and never been so disappointed in a shoe redesign. The sole is SO wide, I thought it was mistakenly an actual wide size. Nope. They look and feel like two boat pontoons. Gotta return!

I ordered these shoes on 11/25 and tracked the package up and down my state multiple times for 4 weeks. My goal was to have them by Christmas. The first call to a representative told me to give them until Dec 17 before making a claim. I called again the next day and was informed that it was my fault because my mailing address is a PO Box. I understand that FedEx does not prefer to deliver to PO Boxes, but nowhere on the shipping address page does it tell you that the carrier will be FedEx and that a PO Box is going to be a problem. This person told me that PO Box address take up to 28 days and that it is explained on the site. Not sure what page that info is on because there is no warning on the page that asks for the address. After 3 weeks, on Dec 16, I decided I couldn't trust the delivery to get here before Christmas, so I dished out more money to get the delivery expedited and ordered another pair of shoes. I received the second order promptly and eventually received the first order after waiting 4 weeks. If I have to pay to send back the extra shoes, I will be sorely disappointed. So frustrating.

I usually wear size 9M - Extra Wide in Kswiss, Nike, and Skechers and they fit perfect. I just bought Kayanos 30 extra wide in size 9.5M after reading reddit and other reviews they run narrow, not short. I wore them to the gym doing treadmill and stairmaster. They run narrow and hurt the inner sides of the mid of my feet. I am hoping this just because the break-in period. Also, my feet sweat more in these than my other workout shoes. Otherwise, its amazing in its comfort, stability, and gave me no shin splints. Definitely a luxurious feeling running shoes.

The Gel-Kayano series has been the best sneaker I have found to date. Now retired, I practically live in them and the 30 is no exception!

This is the third consecutive generation of Kayano I have owned and I think it is the best of the three. The 29 was very good but the 30 improves the cushioning while maintaining the structure I need.

Kayanos are excellent shoes and they are the only shoe I wear as I continue to train and run marathons ( 36 completed). The only improvement Id suggest, as Im a heel striker, is that the wear pads in the heel area should be thicker. I rotate shoes but only average about 250-300 miles per pair.

The look and feel of the Gel-Kayano 30 is more of a Hoka which is disappointing. I have only run a few times in them so cannot attest to the overall feel.

This sneakers have quickly become my go-to footwear for a variety of activities. As someone with wide feet and a high arch, finding shoes that accommodate my foot shape can be challenging. GEL-KAYANO 30 offers a wide fit that provides ample space and support, making them incredibly comfortable for me. I primarily use it for everyday wear, walks in the park and running. It's not the best option for the gym, as for more intense workouts, sneakers with a less soft and thinner sole might be more suitable.

Pleased with this shoe. I run 20-25 miles/wk. Good cushion, not too spongy for me. I can run on the balls of my feet and still feel the road. Give them a try!

I have worn ASICS exclusively for the last 30 years. The fit and durability have surpassed all my expectations. Switched to the Gel-Kayano 7 years ago as my need for a more firm feel increased as I moved into my 60s. Best move of my running career.

The sole of the shoe is gigantic and ugly compared to previous models. Looks like a diabetic shoe as opposed to a running shoe.

As expected. Decent shoe. Very good support. As supportive as Hokas? Of course not. Especially not as supportive in the toe area. But less expensive!
