Fits as advertised for road running

I am very happy with the Kayano 28. I have been wearing the Kayano for a number of years now and find the updated heel brace is just what I need. I have achilles tendonitis issues and this shoe seems to give me the support I need. I'll probably buy a few more.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Does not fit all

Incredibly comfortable

I've been wearing Asics Kayano since version 18. I like Kayano but they're like "Wow! I walk on clouds!" But these! I'm glad I took the risk and bought the 28th! Spacious, cheerful and supportive!

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • The list goes on.

Too tight, fits too athletic

I wear a size 8 but read the reviews and ordered an 8 1/2 plus a width just in case. I walk about 35 miles a week and it hurts just walking around the house. The toe is so narrow that now I come back and go to the store. I wish Asics would stop changing their product. I spent $171 on a crappy product.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Difficult to clean and keep clean

Comfortable stylish used for work I'm a nurse goes well with my navy blue gowns the problem is keeping them clean and she are difficult to clean. Asic's website states that they cannot be machine washed as this could damage the adhesive. It is necessary to clean with a brush, warm water and soap, but the mesh material does not clean well with a brush. I used the Asic size chart which says to go up a size which I did and they fit well. When used with ankle and slip-on socks, these shoes willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • No instructions

Toe box too narrow

I'm stuck because I have a thin foot with a narrow heel. They are suitable for travel because they are attractive and relevant even for a dress. BUT I bought these expensive trail running shoes. OMG my legs hurt for 2 days after only 4 miles! I can't return because I glued the supports to the insole. These are supportive shoes. Why are my socks so tight? My long big toes were fine. Pain was felt in the tips of other fingers - an indication that the toe was too narrow. My previous Gel Kayanosโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Wrinkled

great if sizing is right

I like the feel of the shoe but even though I ordered 1/2 size larger than regular Asics and a larger width I still find them short and narrow. I won't stop anyone from buying because I just can't keep buying and trying online. I go to the sneaker store and get the right fit. I find these shoes very soft and have room for my custom orthopedic insoles. If necessary, I buy it in men's size to get more width. I like to wear athletic shoes with socks. This of course changes the fit. I don't wearโ€ฆ

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
  • so so

Back to the lab: has the extra cushioning stolen the stability?

The structure and stability of the Asics Gel Kayano has allowed me to continue doing many of the things that have made me who I am. While the lifespan of a shoe was never long enough, I am extremely grateful to Asics for making this living shoe. I'm not sure how many Gel Kayanos I've had over the years, but there are over 20. I've reinvested in this latest version after reading about Asics adding more cushioning. The extra cushioning is fully noticeable. It is very nice. However, after about aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Replaceable
