Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 28

These are ok, I just didn't like them as well as the Kayano 29 that I also ordered. Sending these back.

I buy these ASICS from Zappos every year, and often I buy two of the same shoe. Zappos are the only seller that provides a narrow width with in my size. To my horror, the profile is so low, I cannot wear my orthotics with these shoes. I have never had this problem with ASICS or Zappos. It is such a shame I can’t run or walk in these running shoes.

I purchased these running shoes, I didn’t put them on my sheet right away to check their sizing. There are about a half size too small but not quite. I was still able to put them on and she’ll comfortable in them. Nevertheless I have holes in my socks. My new pair, I found the 27th edition still available at a sale price. I’m picking up 27‘s again. I do not know why this company does not use good quality control. Not using good quality control tells me they don’t care about the customer.

within 7 months my toe started coming through the tip of the sneaker

After wearing for a few months I realized they cause my feet to under pronate-essentially to roll to the outside edge of my foot. I have bunions and I think what I’ve learned is I don’t want quite so much padding around the big toe on the inside. No matter what I do the tongue of the shoe slides over to the right constantly. I suppose this shoe is really designed for someone who over pronates. Other than that they are comfy and probably a great shoe for some.

It first, these fit like normal. I buy a new pair every year. But then I noticed that the heel crushed down. I stopped wearing them a while back and wore my pair I purchased before that. Just ordered the Gel Kayano 29. Hope they made better.

The reason I'm giving these sneakers a 3 star is because I can't put them on without the heel folding inside the shoe. The shoes fit well otherwise but its too much of a pain. I'm sending them back. I wear HOKAS all the time just seems to be these type?

There is a clicking sound in the sole of the left shoe as I walk. It is audible, loud. The shoes are so comfortable that to have this click and noise as I walk is really disappointing. I've never experienced this noise with a shoe before.

I got these in a narrow width 2A in a 7.5 (7 in regular shoes). I like my big toe to have some room in the front and would probably have needed to go half a size up. I was surprised that the shoe did not hold my heel in place well, however. This is a dealbreaker for me (even more so at half a size up). I get narrow shoes because my heel slips in regular width running shoes. While it didn't slip as much as usual, it did slip a bit and wasn't snug.

I feel like I am in between an 8.5 and 9. Feels great in some areas, but too loose in others.

These are just so uncomfortable and I am full of regret when I think about this purchase.

I have worn Asics Gel Kayano for years. I am disappointed in the cushioning feel especially in the heel.

The toe box definitely felt narrower for Kayano 28. The next iteration: Kayano 29 had a wider toe box.

This version does not work for me. I’ve worn ASICS for years and the earlier versions were great. I can walk miles in a day and the support would be perfect. Not these. They feel like they sink in too much. I am also not a fan of the low profile in back. It is mushy and slides around. ASICS please bring back gel nimbus in narrow sizes!!!
