Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2024 just kicked off with some of the most anticipated seasonal discounts on fall camping gear, power tools, and even select watches from Citizen, Movado, and Seiko. Amazon’s October sale is also the best time to grab your next pair of running shoes on sale, and there’s no better style than Asics’ Gel-Kayano, which is $60 off during the festivities.
The Asics Gel-Kayano 30 is now on sale starting at $100 during Prime Big Deal Days 2024—a 38% discount on the normal $160 price tag. This is one of Asics’ bestselling running shoes on Amazon with a top 10 ranking among all models across the site and over 1,000 five-star ratings from runners who appreciate the “support and maximum cushion” it offers. It’s on sale in over 25 colors and comes in sizes 7 to 15 with options for wide and extra wide widths. Though the final price may vary based on the combination of size and color selected, the vast majority are selling for around $100 right now.

The Gel-Kayano 30 stands out because it doesn’t show any visible gel the way its predecessors did, but rest assured—it’s built into the shoe and offers the same (if not better) shock absorption many have grown to love. This running shoe is still a great hybrid neutral-stability shoe, with a little extra support thanks to an external heel counter and Asics’ 4D Guidance System foam that rests under the inner arch. Otherwise, it’s a super-light and well-cushioned shoe for walking and running to which any foot can easily acclimate.

The harshest critics of running shoes are those who have used previous models, but many agree that the Gel-Kayano 30 is an upgrade. “Been running in Asics Gel-Kayanos for over 20 years,” a shopper attested. “Every new pair is consistent in size, comfortable, and perfect for running right out of the box. These lived up to my expectations, and I still consider them the best running shoes available.” Another shopper agreed, saying, “The Gel-Kayano 30 is the best Gel-Kayano in the last 5 years.”
