Didn't care for the feel of the shoe but bought it based on reputation. Not a well built shoe for the price. I had trim pieces still hanging on mine I had to remove when I took them out of the box. After wearing the shoes for a couple of hours to break them in my feet began to go numb from the shoe ...

I've worn Kayanos since #5 back in the late 90's. Kayano #7 is my favorite and this (#13) is probably one of the worst. I run about 5-10K (3-6 miles) and immediately I found that the bottom part of the tongue started digging into the joint of my left big toe. I've tried tying the laces more loose...

Not quite as good as the Kayano 12 but still much better than the 14 lasted forever before the insole actually got a hole in it before the shoe broke down.

I've always run in Kayanos but this model made me switch! Like previous reviewers, my heel kept slipping out and the mid-foot was narrower than previous models. I developed pain in my mid-foot after a few runs. I'm definitely disappointed

Decent shoe, however I find that I have more heel slippage than in prior models. I end up wearing a hole in the material in the heels and I've stayed in the same shoe size for the last 5 versions.

I'm 5'10"/400+ lbs. I used to run in the Kayano 12's, would run about 1/2mi., get totally exhausted. Absolutely no difference in the 13's. Clearly no advance in technology here.

I started running about 2 years ago. First to lose weight but after a couple of months I started enjoying it. Finally I got into the shoe lottery and after doing a lot of research I went with the extra wide Kayano 13. I am averaging about 30 miles per week now for the last year or so and I must say ...

I think the Kayano died 4 versions ago , this is ok shoe but is stiff and not nearly as durable as old models, for the money Asics should be able to put out a better shoe. 6'-0", 170lbs

Absolutely love these shoes. I had experienced problems with my achilles but I've had no problems since starting to run in this shoe. Highly recommend.

Update: I ran the Buffalo Run half marathon and Catalina Marathon in them. (2008) Therefore I am wondering if they are a better trail shoe? I just bought my 3rd pair.

I have been a faithful Gel-Kayano runner from way back... but I must say with recent version changes this shoe is now causing pain in my lower legs and ankles. I'm not sure, but I think the stablilty + rating needs to be lowered. The front foot area is very flimsy and provides little support as it u...

Must be getting old as this shoe feels nice but my feet kill me after runs - underfoot and ankles. I was hoping it would clear . . . but after 2 weeks it is still a problem. I am a heavy runner (235lbs) so I look for some stability. Not sure where to now?

For a 5'8, 155 lbs guy, this shoe lacks the necessary impact absorption, esp. at this price range. Definitely not one of my favorites. It squeaks, the heel slips off even when the laces are tight, heel cushioning is plain ok and forefot cush. is terrible. Solyte is so HARD! The plus side, it looks g...

i'm 244 lbs, and I find this to be the best shoes I've worn in years! I've never had a Asics shoes in the past---always went for saucony, nike, brooks... I don't hurt after a run...so I guess the shoe will depend on each individual

This was my 1st Asics shoe, and they are the greatest for me, and without a break in period. Combined with an Injinji toe socks, I have never had any issues with them. I have run road races and cross country races 10K and below. There is definitely a difference between this shoe and the others as...

I am a high school runner and I am fairly lightweight but the kayano-13 has done wonders. I bumb on the outer part of my leg and my cach said it was shin splints so I went out to get these shoes and I've never felt more comfortable. From all the shoes I've worn these are the best. Recommend it espec...

I used to live by Nike's until I realized they are all about style instead of performance. After much frustration with shoes, I decided to to jump brands to Asics and purchased these Kayanos. So far, so good. It is true that these shoes are slightly heavier than the norm, but they carry tons of bo...

Plagued by shin splints after about a year of running, I went through 7 different brand of shoes at a huge cost. Finally a friend recommended these so I paid the high price. After a 2 week break-in I can finally run again without pain. These have saved my legs. I now have 3 more pair sitting in the ...

i agree wit the old fashion looking shoes, doesn't worth that high price,looks good wit the thick gel,but strange, i don't feel any cushion, kayano are downgrading.

i had an odd experience with this shoe. i typically use the brooks adrenaline for most of my runs but was looking for a shoe for longer distance runs (15+ miles). so, i tried the kayano and felt that it had less stability than the adrenaline but more flexability. so, i ended up using the kayano f...

I understand that everyone's bio mechanics are different, not everybody is going to fit into every shoe. I must say however that, for me, the Kayano 13 is THE BEST SHOE I have EVER worn. Comfortable out of the box, with just enough stability. I'm 220, 6' 1" runner and I can tell you, it's saved m...

6th or 7th pair of Kayano's and not as pleased with this version as I'm encountering problems with stiff achilles on both sides -not sure if it's the extra gel, the heal is slightly higher, or there is less flex. Cushioning is great (I weigh 250 lbs) as is the stability but time to go back to the c...

The Kayano 13 is one of if not the best running shoe I've ever owned. Excellent cushioning in heal and forefoot. The arch support is firm - great for those of us with medium/low arches. I have been running in the Brooks Adreneline for the past 6 mos and developed an inner ankle shin splint. Once I...
