This distinctive runner is very good looking 👍🏼, very comfortable 👌 and very supportive 💪🏼 - each equally important. Switched to them years ago and am loving the continued improvements. They have trained for marathons and ran marathons at decent times (just over three hours). Despite the mileage clocked up on them, they still look good when it’s time for their retirement. Have highly recommended these runners to others who over pronate. For those who don’t know if they have a neutral gait or over pronate, it’s a great idea to get checked (most sports stores have machines for this) and then wear the right runner for you because it will help towards your joints staying healthier for longer.

These shoes are not just shoes infact a support system that helped me to carry my 15 kgs overweight then normal very conveniently. It is a great support for my feet and knee joints I can tell that because the moment I come back home and wear my slippers I feel the difference.These shoes came for me as a blessing. Be it standing long hours or taking a walk or running These shoes became my favourite. I had a pair of black one of the same earlier and couldn’t stop myself buying another one because for me it's not just a pair of shoes but a support system for my body "An extended part of my body". I just loved them and I believe in encouraging others to go for the same when really believe in some thing, thought or a product.I am admirer of Asics since 2020 when my ... MoreThese shoes are not just shoes infact a support system that helped me to carry my 15 kgs overweight then normal very conveniently.

I have been wearing Gel Kayano for as long as I can remember. I purchased these last year and found them so horribly uncomfortable after one wear that I brought them and leave them at my personal trainer’s where I use them in only indoors 1 hour 2- 3x per week. They still look brand new.Such a difference in construction and materials from former models of Kayano. The upper feels so cheap and reminds me of arts and crafts polyurethane that you can cut with a scissor.My feet run hot, so I wear a thin sock. The upper pu construction is actually scratchy through a thin sock. Will never buy Kayano again.Am looking to other models instead. I own several iterations of NOOSA which I like except for the newer toggle laces which are more of an inconvenience than their ... MoreI have been wearing Gel Kayano for as long as I can remember.

Used to have older version of Kayanos (bought around 2012-2013), loved them! Lasted 10 years but recently outer developed few rips and I foolishly decided to replace with newer version. Now I wish I had the old ones patched up. ( BTW I Managed to re-glue the sole of my SO older Kayanos and she is still using them and prefers over any newer shoes!)The sole of my old Kayano was undestructable while the shoe provided great support and stability. Overall, best shoes I have ever owned! Should have bought 2 pairs.My new Kayano's (28) seem lighter and not so durable. They too provide good stability and cushioning, however, when fully laced up, there is space between eylets and the tounge of the shoe, where my foot is uncovered and unprotected. I have to double check ... MoreUsed to have older version of Kayanos (bought around 2012-2013), loved them!

They too provide good stability and cushioning, however, when fully laced up, there is space between eylets and the tounge of the shoe, where my foot is uncovered and unprotected. I have to double check that the tounge is as flat as possible to cover my foot.I bought exactly the same size and width as the last time, yet its upper is completely different. How come there is space between upper and the tounge? Pics taken without socks so not as visible as when with socks.They also feel like designed to last one season. I only bought them about a month ago, and to me they already look beat up (after 6 x 2 hour outside walking sessions), while GEL-CUMULUS 23 G-TX (4months), GEL-KAYANO 25 OBI (2years4months), Trabuco Max (1 year) and GEL-QUANTUM INFINITY(3yr4months) all look like new.I would return them if I could and go for non-goretex Cumulus instead, the sole feels indestructable and my foot is properly protected in my Cumulus-G-TX's, however, these are too worm on hot days.Altogether I have 7 pairs of (casual & training) shoes, various Asics (6) and one pair of indestructible trail running Salomons, and I feel like I will be looking elsewhere for my next trainers. I will not be paying for so poorly designed yet highly priced product.Feels like overengineered or, worst, sales/data analysis people got to determine durability and quality on new models.Asics, durability was your strong point, without it, you will not be worth the price.
A couple years ago I went to the local XC shop and they recommended these. I'm kicking myself for not buying multiple pairs. The Kayano 28 Wide are THE BEST. I tried the 29s (they are great - don't get me wrong) and some Brooks. But these are the best for my wide feet with great cushioning. I have the typical problems of over pronation - plantar fasciitis, shin splints, etc. The part that really stands out for me is the heal because I also have a scar on one ankle that rubs on so many other shoes. These just don't. I still wear my awesome coral 28s about twice a week and rotate with the 29s. Some days I just need a shoe that fits like a hug from a good friend.
I have been trying to get used to these shoes for a couple of months. I started developing foot pain in my left foot after using these on a regular basis. I thought maybe I was forming a bunion. It was really painful. Then I tried using my old shoes for a while, and the pain stopped for two weeks. Tonight I thought I would give it another try, and as I was running, the foot pain started back again, this time in both feet. The pain is on the inside ball of my foot and is causing sharp shooting I thought maybe the shoes were too narrow, but they are not. I am not sure why these are so uncomfortable. I have purchased many ASICS in the same size and style, so I am not sure why. These are so different and causing so much pain. Very disappointing.
My first pair of Gel Kayanos was probably the 14. I’ve been buying new pairs every 1.5 years since for running, weight lifting and cross-training, including for Cross-Fit the past 5 years. What I found out the hard way with the 28s, is that the outsole is MUCH softer than previous versions, including the 27s, which I own. After two days at the CrossFit gym, I already had a tear in the outsole. It wasn’t until a couple weeks later that I realized it was from most likely from rope climbs. Thankfully, ASICS Customer Service didn’t really care that I was a long time customer and was quick to deny my warranty claim. Oh, and the 27s withstood multiple workouts with rope climbs and took it like a champ. These are good shoes for running, just don’t try doing anything more ... MoreMy first pair of Gel Kayanos was probably the 14.

I recently have undergone physio and for an ATFL injury only to discover just when my ankle started functioning as 'norm' I experienced severe pain and was told I had plantar fasciitis.I rolled my eyes thinking this was never going to end and my physio therapist told me about Asics and said have a research but they have footwear designed to help he swears by them.So off I went to my nearest store and the sales assistant was amazing *shout out to Wembley outlet* I told him from my research I need to try the keyano and the GT range to decipher what I need for day to day walking and eventually gym workout.He got me both and we tried the sizing with thin socks and thick socks, I was able to walk around in the shop, test if my feet were rolling to get a real feel ... MoreI recently have undergone physio and for an ATFL injury only to discover just when my ankle started functioning as 'norm' I experienced severe pain and was told I had plantar fasciitis.I rolled my eyes thinking this was never going to end and my physio therapist told me about Asics and said have a research but they have footwear designed to help he swears by them.So off I went to my nearest store and the sales assistant was amazing *shout out to Wembley outlet* I told him from my research I need to try the keyano and the GT range to decipher what I need for day to day walking and eventually gym workout.He got me both and we tried the sizing with thin socks and thick socks, I was able to walk around in the shop, test if my feet were rolling to get a real feel and Gel-Keyano were PERFECT!!!My foot immediately felt relief and I said I need this trainers.Unfortunately the store didn't have my size so I had to order online but I do NOT regret this purchase I will pay for quality and comfort anyday.Thank you.Gt2010 are my next pair for gym!!!
Since I bought a pair of Gel Kayano 26 in 2020, I am addicted to the Kayano range. I am over pronation and honestly I will never use any other stability shoes. The Gel Kayano 28 has more padding in the surface area of the shoes. It feels more springy. The shoes have more cushion in the sole and I look taller in them than Kayano 26. The only thing is that the 28 model is not suitable for someone with chubby or wider feet. It is narrower at the front and middle of the shoes due to the heavy padding. The heel area also pushing inward so if you have big ankles they may not be the best. I had needle pain and burning sensation when I run in them when they are new. So please make sure you break the shoes by walking in them for at least a few days before you run a 10k in ... MoreSince I bought a pair of Gel Kayano 26 in 2020, I am addicted to the Kayano range.

Overall the price is very competitive, the quality is top notch, the design is attractive, I cannot fault it at all.
The recent Gel Kayanos have not lived up to the reputation and performance of earlier versions, in my opinion. The "guts" of the shoe have been removed resulting in less support provided by the uppers and less durability of the soles. A "printed" design on the upper is just not the same as the multi-layer stitched Asics logo. And neither is the simplified sole composition. I have been a very loyal Gel Kayano user since the very beginning, in the early 90's because they enabled me to return to running & jogging. As a big pronator, the shoes have been a life (knee) -saver for me. I have purchased multiple pairs of every generation of Gel Kayano. I am very excited to hear that Asics is re-launching the Gel Kayano 14. I just ordered a pair and am looking forward to ... MoreThe recent Gel Kayanos have not lived up to the reputation and performance of earlier versions, in my opinion.
