Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 28

Was disappointed, at one time it was the only shoe I wanted, now they have changed design and shoe sizing. They need to backup and go back to their original sizes and designs. Will be checking out other mgf.

They are just not as comfortable as they were years ago.

Terrible quality. I don't see these lasting a month. They look like and feel like cheap walmart shoes. There is hardly any rubber tread on the bottom. My other kayanos had thicker treads. It sad to see asics skimp out on quality. I will not buy these again.

These are nice and cushiony and have pretty good arch support but, as other reviewers have said, they are just way too shallow. They are tight across the top of the foot, even when you loosen the laces as much you can.

The shoe runs small. I walk 45 minutes daily. Ten minutes into the walk my feet were hurting. The cushion inserts are not sufficient.

It is a beautiful shoe, and I wish I could wear it. It is just too narrow. Very disappointing.

The fit on these shoes was never quite right and now I’m just giving in for a new pair of shoes. These pinched my heels and while the left shoe got more comfortable over time, the right shoe is still bothersome. Won’t buy Kayano again.

Overall, the left shoes was great. The right shoe's heel was defective in the inside. It horribly pinched and was made smaller than the rest of the shoe(s). I've never had this problem before with Asics and was very disappointed.

The 27 was the perfect shoe for me. Not sure why ASICS seems to keep trying to change the style so much year to year. The toe box as others stated is more narrow than last year’s model. What is imperative for me is the sole. They completely changed it from the 27. I need the break up at the arch area on the sole and not a continuous surface. The 27 was also a more durable sole. Which I need. Otherwise my back will go out. I walk at a fast pace for back health. It is a real struggle with ASICS but they are literally the only company I seem to be able to wear. I am continually trying to find the style that works for me. I need the heel toe action and it makes it harder for me to achieve in a shoe with this sole. The result is my back goes out. It is a good looking shoe.

Just not as supportive as the Saucony for plantar fasciitis. Still a comfortable shoe.

I likes the look of the shoes and the padding was comfortable, but they hurt my feet immediately on the outer side on the bottom of my foot. Maybe the soles were too neutral for my feet?
