  • My Go-To-Shoe for 15 years
Size: 9.5 Color: Black/Hazard Green
Can't beat Asics Gel-Kayano's for comfort and support. I've worn them almost daily for 15 years. I'm not a runner...just want a very comfortable shoe for my aging feet. I replace them every 6 months no matter what the outside looks like to maintain best arch support. I usually buy the model just expired and replaced to get the best price. I wear an 8.5 M in a dress shoe. Best to add a size in the Gel-Kayano's, so 9.5 M for me. Once you find the right fit, just replace as needed. They are reliably sized from model to model number. ... show more

  • Less quality with every purchase
Size: 11.5 Color: Black/Graphite Grey
How many times have I read this in reviews: "I've used this product for years, and the quality continues to get less and less"? Well, that's my thought for this product. And I HAVE been wearing this shoe for many years, and each time I order it, it's even more cheaply made. Sigh. I am certainly willing to PAY MORE for a product that is made well and domestically, if that's what it takes. Really cheaply-made shoe. SO disappointed. ... show more

  • Simply the best for runners.
Size: 11.5 Color: Sheet Rock/Hazard Green
This is my third Kayano in last 20 years (they last me about 7years) and I have to say this is one of those few product lines that have gotten better over time. The mesh on top is thicker compared to previous iterations so it is "less breathable", making this a better winter running shoe compared to last decade. The huge improvement in my opinion is the "gel" aspect, which started out as a heel feature but now expanded to cover %80 of the shoe. Your knees will thank you in the long run with the "shock absorbing" factor of these. The only downside right now is the feeling of missing the gel in the toe area/front of the shoes, which makes you "aware" that something is iffy, however in a couple of runs you get used to it. For the serious runners looking for a comfortable, breathable shoe that will last them many, many years, look no further - Kayano series have proven once again that they are the undisputed best in category for this price range. ... show more

  • ASICS Men's Gel-Kayano 28
Size: 9 Color: Lake Drive/Black
This is my 4th pair of ASICS Gel-Kayano shoes. These are a newer version than my previous ones. Still have super comfort and support for workout shoes, and comfortable and cushioned from the very first wearing. No need to break them in.

  • 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

  • Best shoe ever
My chiropractor recommended issues for my plantar fasciitis. These are the best shoes I have ever owned. They make my feet feel so comfortable and the pain is not even there anymore. I highly recommend these shoes even if you don’t have issues with your feet. Extremely comfortable, they feel great, and my last pair I wore every day to work and they lasted a little over a year. ... show more
