ASICS  GEL-Kayano 30 Road-Running Shoes - Women's

I walk ~5-10 miles/day and recently switched from wearing Nimbus because I noticed that my feet were overpronating in them leading to some knee issues and these were a suggested fix. The first few wears gave me blisters on the insides of my ankles I think because they're so much more structured than the Nimbus fit. I like that my feet feel much more supported than when I wore Nimbus and they're still really lightweight, but they're definitely not as cushioned and feel much harder (sad) than Nimbus which always felt like I was walking on marshmallows. I'll keep these but not sure what shoes I'll try next time as so far it's not total love.

These are giving me blisters in ways I’ve never had them before. Somehow I’m getting them on the bottom inside of the ball of my foot and heel, only on the left side. I’ve adjusted the laces every way possible and either it’s a terrible design or my left shoe was made wrong. Very displeased and very glad I bought from REI which has a return policy

As someone who’s purchased Kayano 28 and 29, this shoe definitely feels like there’s some new tech compared to those previous models. They do feel abit more clunky, even similar to Hoka’s build. I did size up, because they didn’t have a wide version of the shoe. I have wide feet and feel like even the normal shoe box version feels roomy. Overall, if you’re looking for stable runs, this is the shoe for you.

I have worn Asics for years BUT I HATE this shoe. I trip and fall and/or twist an ankle every time I wear them. I have bought many, many versions of Kayanos and/or the 2000 series for over 20 years. The sole on this shoe is puffy/bubbly and cumbersome. PLEASE go back to the old style!!!! (Also, I rarely (ever) leave reviews unless very happy or very unhappy with the product.)

These were incredible and even a year later the shoes still have cushion. Only issue I had was that the treads wore out pretty quickly and I developed holes in the back of the heels after a few months. However, I kept wearing them and they worked out well (just scary when I was somewhere slippery - I did fall a couple of times because the treads had completely worn out).

Wow wow wow! These are My favorite Asics kicks yet. Took them out for their first spin today after a hiatus from running and they did not disappoint. Great support, stability, and comfort and happy to report the shine and IT band were happy post-run as well. For all the tech included, these shoes are incredibly light and I look forward to taking them on many adventures!

These shoes are an upgrade from the previous model. Definitely more plush. I like that I don’t have to wear my orthotics with these. They do take about 50 miles to break in. Nice laces that are long enough for heel locks. I don’t need a heel lock for these because the heel is so well fitting. I normally wear a 6.5 in NB. I sized up to a 7 for these shoes.

I don't usually write reviews, but these shoes were terrible for me. Caused me to develop injuries, way too tight (and simultaneously squishy?) in the heel. Gave me an injury in my arch. I can't believe I didn't return them - tried to power through and use them to 300 miles, which I did, but I regret it. Truly could not recommend these shoes less.

The Kayanos are easy to slip into, have good cushioning and great support. The only problem is the laces are so short they are hard to tie. The bow is so tiny it looks like a Chihuahua bow. A double know is not possible.

I bought these shoes in mid-September and a month later the upper mesh was already all ripping. It was not even on the big toe. They are almost all wrecked on the mesh. I do expect my running shoes to only last a month.
