  • Great feeling shoes
Size: 12 X-Wide Color: Carrier Grey/Black
These shoes are very comfortable. Not too firm and not too soft. I have wide feet and can usually fit in regular or wide shoes, depending on the brand and style. From reading other reviews that stated these are a little on the narrow side, I ordered extra-wide because I have plantar fasciitus and will use an orthotic with them. They don't offer much arch support, but if you don't have plantar fasciitus, they are probably supportive enough. I haven't had them long enough to see about any negative affect they may have on my feet, but, so far they feel great and I have little doubt that they will work prefect for me. I'm not a runner, just a walker, and these seem perfect for walking or running. Length is perfect. I take a size 12, and the 12 fits perfect. I highly recommend these shoes. ... show more

  • Great Shoe, Wide Toebox, Saved my Shins
Size: 11 X-Wide Color: Black/Graphite Grey
I started getting back into running. I quickly had shin splints and pain. After some research and measurements, I decided I could use a decent pair of shoes with a wider toe box. These shoes have a healthy amount of cushion as well as a wide toe box that allows the toes to splay out on impact. The splayed position is supposed to be more like a natural foot position that people had before they started wearing shoes. I think the proper toe position allowed by the wide toebox has really taken a lot of unnecessary stress off of my legs at impact. My leg pain is gone. Asics in this price range are generally quite good quality and this shoe is no different. I will buy another pair of these when the time comes. ... show more

  • Kayano 28s in wide are still the best I've used, but not as good as they once were...
I've had a pair of Kayano 20's for a few years now which have held up great and provided solid cushioning for close to 1,000 miles of mostly sub-5 mile runs. I now have about 400 mi on the Kayano 28's and there is clearly significantly faster wear taking place on the traction sole of the shoe vs the 20s. Perhaps traction is better with the 28's and that is the tradeoff, though I never noticed an issue with traction with the 20's. Perhaps the 28's are more cheaply made, but if so, the savings have certainly not been passed onto the consumer, as the 28's were more expensive than the 20's. Overall I like the shoes, they are very comfortable and supportive. The fit is great (went with wide this time as the 20s put a bit too much pressure on my small toes at the same size, 12 1/2). I just have a strong feeling I'm going to be worn through the soles in half the time (or even less than half) than the previous Kayano 20's. ... show more

  • Not as stable for lighter runners.
Size: 9.5 Color: Thunder Blue/Glow Yellow
The Kayano 28 is meant to be a shoe with stability. Not all runners are build the same nor, importantly weigh the same. I'm a 5 foot 6 inch 120 pound male, athletic build with a running back ground in track and cross-country running. I over pronate in both feet and more so in my right. My left foot is almost neutral. This gives me the advantage of seeing how shoes may work for both neutral runners and those who pronate. It was a hot, dry day when I tested the Kayano 28 on asphalt, concrete, hard dirt, grass, gravel-covered ground, a wooded trail and on a running track. Oh, and on some stairs for stair work- more on that later. The Kayano is a road shoe first and foremost but can handle some light trail work. The shoe performed pretty well on all these surfaces but less well on gravel and it was a no-go on sand. No surprise there. it did okay on the light, groomed trail even as i was looking for rougher patches. it is a no go on technical trails which is no surprise. And on stairs ... wooden stairs with good grip and nothing spaced too far apart. metal stairs are a straight out NO- that is super dangerous and you will have zero traction. It may look cool to do cardio on stairs to feel like Rocky Balboa but these shoes will not allow you to gain purchase on certain kinds of stairs. For your safety, unless you got mad skills and a wish to break something, do NOT try running up and down stairs in the Kayanos. Walking- sure but be careful and aware. From experience, I am not sure how this kind of traction would do in wet conditions. the tread on the Kayaonos is pretty minimal and even tough it's AHAR, a fabulous material in its self, the tread design is best for flat, dry roads and other flat, even and dry, non-slippy surfaces. Did i repeat my self there? .... While the cushioning on the shoe felt nice after so many denser stability shoes i've had, it was a bit too cushioned and there was not that much springy-ness as well. When i ran on the track, which was a softer composite surface, it was like running on double cushioning which sounds nice but highlighted the shoe's biggest weakness and potential danger. it may be because I weigh only 120 lbs that there was not enough weight pushing on the cushion, but, this shoe was very unstable despite all its technology. I had to be very aware of how I placed my feet as I went trough my gait cycle or the mushiness would cause me to roll an ankle. I tested them in all sorts of running modes, postures and techniques, etc ect - I ran track so basically did every kind of running style in them to test them out. This said, I decided to at some points to just "trust" the engineering and run with out thinking about my motion. the shoe in this case took over and did surprisingly well despite being unstable. Doing this was risky and I felt that after a while the luck of it may wear off. and, in fact i had strained my ankle and Achilles tendon by the time I was done. i did not fully roll my ankle but repeatable came close. In many ways I should have known better. When i first put them on and stood up, I stumbles side to side as if the side walls of the mid sole were giving out. i have very good balance so this surprised me. After my test run, my left foot felt soso, not great but soso. My right foot, the one that pronates more, was not faring well as it was the ankle I had nearly rolled multiple times. it took a few days for my ankle to recover but it could easily have been worse. Breaking the shoes in would have no effect since the Kayanos are so soft as is. it was like running on marshmallows. While I can see potential in the 28th iteration, Asics needs to take more time to refine this shoe to be safe to wear for lighter runners. For that, it needs to be less mushy and have a lower heel drop - that is the difference between the front stack height and the rear stack height. It would also help if there were a bit more spring or responsiveness in the shoe as well. The tread is almost too thin and could use a bit more. If the traction were a little more regressive, that'd be a nice touch. In the end, I cleaned them up and sent them back. ... show more

  • Helps with Bunion Support!
Size: 11 X-Wide Color: Black/Clay Grey
Started developing Tailor bunions on both feet. Not sure if it was due to my shoes or the way I walk. Either way, these particular shoes are on several foot care sites regarding comfort footwear for dealing with bunions. I have always like Asics, so this was an easy choice. Finding Gel-Kayano 28s in stock is another issue, but not on Amazon! :) ... show more

  • Great shoe. Wish I had tried the Kayano sooner!
Size: 13 Color: Black/Clay Grey
Lifelong runner, retired Marine with several marathons and half-marathons under my belt; 6'2" & 210 pounds. I have been wearing Asics for 20+ years, mostly the GT-2000 series and its predecessor. I have noticed over the last couple of years that the GT-2000 series have not quite felt the same in quality and comfort. I had recently checked out a professional reading blog comparing the GT-1000 and the GT-2000 series. It actually made note that the GT-1000s actually felt a bit more like the older GT-2000s. So, I gave them a try. They felt okay. But I had also started looking at the Kayano's. Amazon had a pair that was almost half off the original price in a decent color scheme, so I decided to give them a try. Out of the box they were one of the most comfortable pairs of running shoes I have ever owned. Having used them for 3 runs so far, they have been amazing with great support and cushioning. ... show more
