Absolutely love!!!! I get compliments on them almost everyday. I've been wearing Kayanos for a good decade now. What even better is I can go into the store pick out the color I want in my size and don't have to bother trying them on anymore. I know exactly how they are going to fit. I love the consistency in their fit and comfort level. I have had my right knee reconstructed twice and I'm a nurse that works 12+ hr shifts mostly on my feet and these shoes are the only reason why. LOVE!!!!!

As expected the shoes are so comfortable. I have wide feet but these caused no pinching at all. I truly look forward to wearing them. Shipping was great, too. Came earlier than expected!

When i first put them on they were so comfortable! I've worn them twice so far and both times if felt like the ball of my foot (big toes) were rolling off the side of the shoe. I dont know if i need a wide or if it just a flaw in this particular pair. Would still highly recommend!!

Very comfortable, but needed to order one size larger than usual. Then fit was perfect.

I had previously bought the Gel-Kayano 26 and liked them pretty good. I bought this shoe because I loved the color, however, it does not provide as much stability as I would like and the shoes are huge!! I always order up a size in running shoes and these look like big clown shoes on my feet!! I decided to keep them rather than go through the hassle of a return. Also, the laces were not the same size. The lace on the left shoe was waaaayyyy longer than the one on the right. Doesn't anyone check this stuff before placing them in the box??!! Probably won't buy the Kayano Lites again unless there is improvement.

I really liked the shoe and it was a great color. However, on me it was too wide in the toe box.

I've only worn for a few weeks, maybe 45 miles, but the cushioning feels as if I've been pounding miles for months and breaking down way too fast. The support and cushioning is not typical of all the other Asics running shoes I've worn over the years. I'm very disappointed for the price tag.

I didn't think the fit was bad, but started noticing all my socks are getting pilly around the top. Its because the rough mesh on the interior rubs. I've never seen this happen on any shoe before. Although I think the fit is pretty decent, I think I need to find something else that won't ruin my socks.

I was really hoping these relatively expensive shoes would adequately replace the Gel-Kahanas I bought a few years ago (and dearly LOVE), but these just don't cut it. The arch support is minimal and they definitely run a half size too large. Truly disappointed to have to return them.

These run much larger than typical Asics shoes. I'll have to exchange them for a half size smaller.

I love everything about the shoe except the fact that the inside of the heel has slumped down from me putting on my shoes.

I have worn Asics Gel Kayanos for many years, and have had many pairs. Always very happy with them - until this pair of Gel Kayano 28 Lite Show. They just don't have the cushioning of all my previous pairs. At first I just thought they needed breaking in and I usually rotate several pairs for my workouts but no - my feet hurt after working out in these, and i've worked out in them a good 10-15 times. Not any more.

These run much bigger than the previous versions of this model that I've worn. I consistently wear a nine in all shoes. When I reached out to the company to exchange for a smaller size, they wouldn't do anything since I had already wore them. It's very disappointing.

The worst shoes I ever bought! I wore them once to go for my run and my feet hurt so bad as if I ran in stones No support or cushion what so ever I don't even know what to do with them I feel even donating it's not worth the pain to someone else

Have bought Gel Kayano for years but this shoe ran large in the toe box. Have tried to wear in my house to see if I could adjust, I can't. Will need to return, disappointed.

I’m a faithful ASICS ride or die… but this one is a miss. It is more narrow than usual. The insert is giving me blisters on the inside edge just past my “arch” - I’m flat footed…I’m literally 28 or 30’pairs if ASICS and the 28 is just not working. The back heel pad also seems to be losing its shape and sagging so I get heel slippage and I’ve only worn these maybe 4 times? I have another pair of the 28’s (not the lite show version) I ordered on Amazon and it has the same heel issue. 28 was a big miss…and an expensive one at that!
