ASICS GEL-Kayano 24

Love love love this shoe! I have been running consistently for over 30 yrs and I have found this running shoe to work the best for me!

I ran in this shoe for some time as I was a high mileage collegiate runner and with some messed up bio-mechanics felt I needed the stability. This shoe model stood out for its sleekness, and I like the snug fit a lot, especially compared to past bulky stability shoes. The cushioning is great, even compared to other stability style shoes. The issue I have with it is that for a flagship model with a high price, the shoes doesn't actually hold up very well. The tread started going by the time I was closing in on 300 road miles, and the forefoot cushioning started fading soon after. I have had older Kayano models that have held up longer, but this issue has occurred in a few versions of this shoe so I am fairly confident something changed.

They are too stiff. The new flytefoam is annoying. I loved the fluid ride from the 22's as they were more "cushiny." I get it that their lighter, but really the difference in being lighter won't make a difference for me as I use these for training and not racing. Now that Asics has switched totally to Flytefoam with the Kayano's I"m already scrambling to other brands to find a similar cushion to the 22 Kayanos. I still train with my current one's but it doesn't feel comfortable as they did.

I’ve run in every iteration of Kayano since 2013. They’re the shoe I always go back to. Comfortable, lasts a good while on solid mileage and have always been good to me. Only issue with them is their normal price tag. I generally by an older model under $100 when I see them and stock up.

Asics Gel-Kayano 24 Nyc has style and comfort and fits me like a glove.

Solid shoe to take the brunt of easy days. Definitely not a fast shoe by any means, but that is not what it is designed for. Good shoe for easy days.

Very comfortable but a little stiff and heavy. Not breathable enough for hot summer runs, but excellent cushioning

Love ASICS, but many recent purchases seem to run small. These run true to size. These sneakers were a last minute replacement for a pair of ASICS Cumulus that cut up my heels during an 20 mile training run a few weeks before a marathon. I was nervous about changing sneakers so close to a marathon but these more than saved the day.

I'm loving it

I've been running on Asics for my whole running career -- almost 15 years now. I recently switched from the GT 2000 to the Kayano, and I cannot recommend it more highly. I love the Kayano and I feel that I get a little bit better support -- I overpronate a lot. I love the Kayano and am going to stick with them from now on!
