Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 28

Black and white is really pretty on! The length runs a half size small. Not as sloppy width as the last several years.

I would have appreciated in the description of the shoes that It does have a removable insole. I ordered them without knowing. I wear orthotics and you can't just put an orthotic on top of the insole the shoe comes with. Yes, they do have a removable insole. However, maybe because these shoes are made for overpronation, using an orthotic in it makes the tilt of the orthotic wrong. It also made the shoe somewhat tight. Without the orthotic and just using the insole that the shoe comes with, it is a comfortable enough shoe. But compared to the Cumulus, the sole of the shoes felt somewhat wide and clunky. I wish I could say that having watched a lot of YouTube reviews of Asics shoes that I experienced the difference between the soles of the Kayano vs the Cumulus. Maybe the difference would be more obvious if I were a runner. I'm not, so both could adequately get the job of walking done.

I ordered the wide, but it did not feel wide to me, which is the reason I had to return. This shoe is a great looking shoe and I hate that I had to return them. I do not care for all of the wild looking designs and colors, and these would have been perfect. I have a very difficult time finding shoes because I have to have more of a stiff sole shoe, not flexible and they have to be wide for my toes. I'll try again, but would appreciate suggestions on others to try. I usually wear New Balance, but haven't found one that works this year.

Gel Kayano is my go to shoe. I loved the 27 and wish I had gotten 2 more pairs while they were available. The 28 feels tighter overall and in the width of the toe. Also, it feels like the heel/angle of the shoe is steeper and my foot feels like it is sliding forward in the shoe. Sad because this is my shoe! And I can usually just order the new version and be good to go. I'll go in store and see if the 29 is better.

I first ordered this is size 7 1/2, which is the size I always get for Asics. But it was too small and I had to return it for a size 8, which seems to be fine. Can't really comment on comfort and overall rating, but typically Asics are very comfortable shoes for me.

I ordered the medium width as I usually do but this shoe is very narrow. There isn't enough room in the toe box which has something to do with the lack of width I'm sure. The shoe looks nice and I will keep it. There is support but not enough in the arch,

This shoe was very comfortable but the wide width was not wide.

I like the looks of this shoe but it is not deep enough to accommodate my orthotic even after removing the inner sole. Would probably be great for someone without foot issues

This is a very cute shoe and I love the color but…. for whatever reason the right shoe always hurt me! I tried and tried to wear them but would always have to take the right shoe off because I could not handle the pain?????

Asics Kayano sneakers are the best for my feet. I wear an 8 shoe, but I need 8 1/2 in this sneaker. I love the color, fit and comfort. Thank you Zappos for providing such great customer service!

I ordered a half size up from my normal size and they are very snug. I would recommend ordering no less than one size up since you need wiggle room with your workout shoes and you do not want smashed toes. They are very comfortable and I think once I have the right size they will be perfect.
