Asics' maximum cushioned support road running shoe celebrates its 30th anniversary. This latest version of Gel Kayano 30 Wide is made to fit the broader foot. Asics’ designers have developed a new FF Blast Plus Eco midsole foam which is more ecologically conscious, lighter, with increased stack high for a better fit and softer feel. The new 4D guidance support stabilises the foot to offer a balanced stride, decreasing over-pronation, whilst providing maximum impact absorption. The improved upper is breathable and lightweight.

I am a 69 year old man with overpronation and walk 5-6 miles almost every day. I have worn the Kayano 28 and 29 for the last 2 years and have enjoyed the comfort and wearability of these shoes. December 2023, I purchased a pair of the Asics Kayano 30’s online. I received my new shoes and started on my morning walk. I noticed after 2 miles my hips were beginning hurt and continued on my walk until I returned home. I had to take my shoes off immediately when I got home and noticed I had very sore muscles in my calves and my hips.Two days later, I thought I’d try my shoes on one more walk and at the end of my walk I had the same results. I went back to wearing my Kayano 29’s and chalk up the purchase of Asics Kayano 30 as a bad purchase and search out other brands. ... MoreI am a 69 year old man with overpronation and walk 5-6 miles almost every day.

Good things can only last so long and I think Asics Kayano series has run it course.

I have an issue with my right foot and have worn cartilage on the ball of my foot from working as a service repair tech for over 26 yrs. That being said I needed to change the type of sneakers I wear and switch to a Max cushion for better comfort. I have always gone straight to New Balance or Hoka but was pleasantly surprised at these Ascis and how amazingly comfortable they were the moment my feet slid inside them. I am very picky with my sneakers and if it's not perfect for me then I move on. This sneaker was all around impressive! The added bonus was the color... I did not have a Tan/ Biege sneaker and it was the exact color combo I was looking for. The cushion in these GK 30's are impressive, it's Max cushioning without giving away and stability . These are one ... MoreI have an issue with my right foot and have worn cartilage on the ball of my foot from working as a service repair tech for over 26 yrs.

Although these Asics are the ugliest shoe Asics may have ever produced, they are the most comfortable pair of Asics Kayano's I have owned (and, I have been buying Kayano's since 2006 - I believe they were Kayano 7's). I received the shoes 2 days before leaving for Europe on a 16-day trip that included walking 216,936 steps and 375 flights of stairs according to my Apple iPhone. I took no other shoe along. I had no sore points, my feet were happy every day. These Kayano 30's are the best design for a stable platform too. I only mis-stepped once and that was on the crazy cobblestone plaza/streets of Munich, Germany.

I'm training for the London marathon, so needed a decent pair of trainers. I've had issues with tendonitis so needed something really supportive. These were recommended by my brother so I dropped-in to the Oxford Street flagship store for fitting. I have wide feet so needed the 2E width. It was a toss-up between UK 9.5 and 10. The very helpful assistant advised going larger. I've since done 3x 5 mile runs and 1x 11 miler and struggling a bit. Comfort and support-wise these are fantastic, and they are certainly helping with the achilles tendon. However I'm finding running with them quite challenging. I was hoping for a nice floaty, cushioned ride, but these seem to be quite "slappy" and clunky. particularly when running uphill or once my legs start to tire. Maybe ... MoreI'm training for the London marathon, so needed a decent pair of trainers. I've had issues with tendonitis so needed something really supportive.

I've been through several iterations of the Gel-Kayano wide running shoes and have written 5 star rave reviews on this website. But the GK 30 wide is a huge disappointment. I bought a pair last November, by the end of March the outer side of the heel had worn away by about half an inch! Still, because I'm training for a May charity walking marathon, and did not want to radically change my gear at this late stage, I decided to stick with these and ordered another pair (which arrived about 10 days ago). After just 3 6-mile power walks, the outside of the heel of my left shoe has worn down to the point where it is now eating into the foam! I know I wear my shoes down quite rapidly because of overpronation. But this is really quite unacceptable. Very very disappointed ... MoreI've been through several iterations of the Gel-Kayano wide running shoes and have written 5 star rave reviews on this website.

In short, if you have a tendency to overpronate ( and this shoe is supposedly designed for just this) then I would not recommend buying the GK 30 wide.
I have just ordered my second pair. I purchased my first pair 2-3 months ago and planned to wear them hiking in Hawaii before scrubbing them down and bringing them to work where I work as a nurse and easily put in 15,000 steps a day. These shoes have not made it to work because I love them too much; none of my other walking shoes come close to these in stability and comfort and have determined the only remedy is to purchase another pair for work. I typically wear orthotics for my wide, flat feet but I no don't require them with these shoes. They fit great, feel great, and are supportive. In terms of fit, I typically wear an 11W in other brands but find the 11.5W fits perfectly in Asics.
I came looking for a shoe I could stand up in all day without foot pain. This was the one! At first, I felt like my foot was being tilted backwards. However, I decided to make a couple of adjustments by removing the factory installed insoles and adding a pair of Massaging Gel insoles and a pair of Massaging Gel Heel Cushions underneath to ensure proper leveling of my feet.. These two inserts made all the difference as it ensures my foot position inside the shoe is never uncomfortable. I chose Asics because I have an older pair of this brand that allowed me the lkuxery of standing all day at work with no pain at all! I admit I didn't use the shoe selector as provided on the website to get the right shoe, but given my previous experience with the brand, I was most of ... MoreI came looking for a shoe I could stand up in all day without foot pain.

I simply needed insoles that I could use to replace those removed in order to ensure I could get the maximum comfort without the issue of using factory installed insoles which could wear out. Thanks Asics!
I have purchased a new pair of Asics Gel Kayanos every spring for years. The new and improved Gel-Kayano 30 manufactured with a host of recycled materials is by far the worst pair of GK's I have ever purchased. I bought them in mid April 2024 for $220.00 and it is now June 2024 and the sole is worn down to nothing, the (recycled material) top mesh is opening up and they look like crap. The thing is; these are my walking shoes, hense I only walk in them. I do not run or jog anymore. I have resorted to wearing my old pair of GK 29's for now. The GK30 is crap and destined for wearing around the yard to cut grass etc. It may explain why this "new model" of GK30 are "on sale" already and the 31 is already on the market. The new and improved Asics "Gel-Kayano 30" is junk ... MoreI have purchased a new pair of Asics Gel Kayanos every spring for years.

Very cushiony with some support too. My main issue is that these feel very heavy. I've had other versions of the Kayano and most were like that too, though, so I knew what I was getting. Since they're being used for longer and slower runs that's OK, but I'd still prefer if they were a bit lighter. Also, I am in between regular and wide... got wide this time, which gave me more room, but the shoes still seemed a bit short in length. The tips of my big toes still felt crammed. Most of the other shoe companies I use: Saucony, Brooks, etc, are about 1/4" longer and fit perfectly. Asics seem to run slightly small at times in my experience. Overall this is a very well constructed, solid shoe that provides good stability.
