They changed the sizing again. These feel narrower through the ball of the foot. Will have to try a half size larger (already a Wide width).

I have purchased kayanos for 5+ years and this pair seems to have worn way faster than normal. The backs are very worn and the sole also feels like it had significant less support after just a few weeks. Bummed because I normally love kayanos.

Not enough foot support (stability), my feet were pronating, after my run I experienced pain. The color is nice though

I returned these because even in the wide size there was pressure on my bunion. But I loved the arch support and the style.

Shoe has moderate support, felt wide thru the mid of my foot towards toe area.

The shoes are comfortable. However, I am a little concerned about a bigger slit on the top of the right shoe. I'm afraid after wearing them to workout, the slit is going to come all the way apart. The left shoe has the slits on top, but they are not all connected like the top middle row of the right foot.

I've been wearing the Kayano-27 for the past couple of pair of running shoes and thought I'd try this new model out. And although they were really pretty looking shoes (rose colored), they ended up having terrible support, seriously killing my heel. No idea why but it felt like there was no support whatsoever. It was almost as if because they are lighter, they no longer have the support. I do Orange Theory everyday. The treadmill and these shoes were not a pleasant experience. My heel (just one, oddly) was killing during, afterwards and into the next day. This has never happened to my heel before. Anyways, I'll sadly be returning them.

While this is a comfortable shoe, the width is less than optimal. We need more colors in the wider widths.

The comfort of these would be great. They just don’t fit my foot. Size down is too small and size up is too big.

Great cousin and support. This shoes hugs your foot, which for my all day shoe is a little to much for me since some times your feet expand by the end of the day. I still have to wear my heal pad since I'm a heal walker. For the price I was really hoping for perfection, but feel a little let down. Over priced.

I always wear a size 8 and the Gel Kayani 27 size 8 fits perfectly. This shoe in size 8 felt too long, I'd guess a half size to long. I kept tripping so am returning them.

I have been wearing Gel Kayano for a couple years now. This new model seems to be different. They seem a bit more narrow and for some reason they squeak, These I got for a replacement for a pair the air thing in bottom broke. I have worn these about two weeks and they definitely squeak. No issues like that with my Gel Kayano 27,

I thought it was me...until my daughter got a pair and the same thing happened. I have the Kayano 27, which I got last Sept. I bought my daughter the Kayano 28 for Christmas. I noticed that my socks kept slipping off the back of my foot - a problem I NEVER had before. I thought it was me until my daughter called and said she was having the same problem. Note: we both wear Balega socks - so not cheap socks, nor socks not designed for running. What's up ASICS? There must be something funky with the foam at the back of the shoe. So disappointed, as these are the best shoes. Not sustainable for running or gym or anything if you have to keep stopping to adjust your socks.

These run very wide towards the front of foot - so expect fair amount of lateral side movement. Since I have overly flexible joints, this was an issue for me and had to return. In general Asics seems to be running bigger and wider in the most recent versions - so sad since for years they fit me perfectly...and apologize to Zappos for the assorted returns!

This version seems much smaller than previous versions. In fact, the 9.5 US size is now 41.5 in Euro sie. Previously 9.5 US was 43.5.

I have been wearing Kayano for many years but this is my least favorite pair. They hurt my feet so badly. I'm gonna have to go to my regular store and have them fit me again bc I don't think I'll be able to wear the 28. Not sure exactly what you changed but they no longer are a great fit for me

Since wearing the 28s I noticed my knees have been bothering me. I then put on my older pair of 27s and realized the arch support is much better in the older models. I'm disappointed because this is the only sneaker I've been wearing for the last 7 years and I don't trust any other brand. Will be buying a new pair of 27s instead.
