Comfortable shoes. Probably the best kayano I have owned.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

I signed up for my first 10K earlier this month. I knew that I had to invest in some good running shoes since I was finally taking my jogging seriously. I have a high arch and running for more than 10 minutes usually gives me a nagging pain in the inside area of my feet. After much comparison and research, I decided to try the Kayano 28 despite some negative reviews regarding the craftsmanship. I used the shoes for a week now and I am very happy with my decision. In terms of comfort, it is the best pair of shoes I have ever worn for running. The ergonomics of the shoes promote better running form and the pain in my feet has diminished almost completely. As I continue to run with these shoes, I have learned to use my toes and the ball of my foot much more than I did in the past. This helps absorbs the shock from the back and inside of my feet and alleviates the weight on my arches. A 5 mile jog feels like I am gliding on the clouds. Now that the pain is gone, I can focus on improving my endurance to complete my 10k.

An extra wide is still too narrow in the toe box. I have bunions, and the shoes squeezed them.

I'm a big guy and this shoe continues to be great. I've been wearing the Gel-Kayanos for at least 10 years and I haven't been disappointed yet.

The shoes were super narrow! should've listened to all the reviews that gave me pause. The width isn't like previous versions. This has been an ongoing problem with running shoes. I have read this and each time buyingmis a gamble. This shoe wasn't even a normal width. I am shocked and encourage those with wide feet not to buy it.

Who are designing these "Mens" shoes? The colors are not correct, and (in some cases) seem more appropriate as women's shoes. For example, the Red/Black is actually pink.

This is the opposite of Kayano 27; doesn't fit well. What have you done? Can u make your shoe size for average person. The normal 10.5 has to get a 11.5 in ASICS w 4E; that too depends from the type. Kayano 11.5 4E fits well but the same number size in Nimbus is too tight and unstable

Great for long to mid distance and even casual single digit runs. Best ASICS for flat feet.

My husbands favorite shoe is the Kayano. These shoes are reliable in form, quality and size. The black on black style is on point.

I've been using Gel Kayano since the model 18. I always wear the same size 9.5 Wide. However, this time the show is smaller, it feels too tight, more like a regular 9.5 or even smaller. I thought it was because they were new, but I already run them for 3 weeks, 5 day of the week, for 3 to 5 miles each run, and they still feel too tight on the front and the hill, which by the way, feels like is too small for my foot. I'm not sure if Asics made some changes, but this is the very first time this happens with my Gel-Kayano. Anyway, since I already used them I can't exchange them for a bigger size. Hopefully next model feels like the prior models 26 or 27.

After a week of using the shoes, the fabric strip holding the heel from above detached from its place and went down to the sole, causing three problems:
1. The heel started to jump out of the shoe because nothing held the heel from above.
2. Because the strap went down to the sole the foot moved forward and the shoe became small
3. Total discomfort and insecurity in using it.
The quality of the shoe is very poor. Do not recommend!

Comfortable running shoe. From past experience, plan on replacing with a new pair of running shoes every 5-6 months if you run regularly (e.g. if you run 3-4 times a week).

My first ASICS Kayano was the 97's, While, yellow and navy blue I think I went through 8 pair. I've always thought those were the best Kayano's ever, until I ran in the 28's. I have a new best ever Kayano. My feet are very happy! Please don't change these ASICS!
