Great Update

By Sally

from St Paul, MI

Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 19 Running Shoe:

The Kayano has always been my favorite shoe and the newly updated GEL-Kayano 19 doesn't dissapoint! I am training for the Rock 'n Roll Las Vegas in these shoes and have had no discomfort or pain in my shins, which I genreally get due to my low arches. This shoe provides great cushioning and stability. I also really like the fun new colors!

    This tennis shoes are great. I love the color and way it looks. However, since I am budget concious, I decided to go with a pair that was $50 cheaper which had the same qualities to me.

    Comments about Womens ASICS GEL-Kayano 19 Running Shoe:

    My Kayano 18 shoes were needing replacing, so I opted for the 19's. Thinking that the 19 would be as great for me as the 18 I was super stoked for an easy transition. No such luck. The toe box was way too big. The cushioning felt worse than my worn out 18's and the arch support is non-existant. Just little 5 miles runs caused the balls of my feet to ache, sharp pains in my ankles as well as on the top of my feet! Running in my worn out 18's was better than these!

    I was really sad to send them back... loved the color!

    Service and delivery comments:

    As always, delivery was stellar and the service at Road Runner is awesome! I called for an exchange and the gal knew just what to send me! Thanks!

        Didn't have to break them in at all. From start to finish of a 7 mile run, I loved every footfall. Very cushioned and made me want to run faster than my short legs could go! I used to wear Kayanos and loved them until I got a metatarsal stress fracture. Had to switch to Asics motion control sneakers for a while. Sooooooo happy to be back in the Kayano 19's!

                Always ran in Asics. Completed my 6th 1/2 Marathon yesterday with a new PR, however my feet were on FIRE from the lack of cushioning / gel / stability in this #1 Rated shoe. My Asics gel Kayano 17 have more gel and cushion left then the Kayano 19 that aren't even 3 weeks old. I am returning the shoe. BIG thumbs down to this one..

I am on a running program and currently on week 2 (run 1, walk 3 min), they seem to be doing great. I haven't had any problems so far! Would definatly recommend!

                          I have used the Gel Kayano for years. I run 25-50 miles a week depending on the time of year and where I am in my training program. I run marathons, 1/2 marathons and triathlons. Roomy toe box, and lots of cushion are the best things about this shoe. I have average arches, normal gait, and no foot problems. I need to replace it about every 4 months. Great training shoe. It would be nice if there was a lighter color for spring.

                          Good shoe overall, but big forefoot...

                            Used to be avid athelete. Been wearing only Asics running shoes for 20 years, and Kayanos for a while. But is the forefoot getting wider in this year's shoe? It feels bigger than my last pairs. I replace insert with a spenco full length arch support, and they're pretty comfy except for space in forefoot.

                                These shoes literally changed my life. I was used to buying nike's all the time. I would always end my workout with blisters and numb toes. Bought my first pair of asics 2 years ago and refuse to buy any other brand or style. I love these shoes!
