thanks for doing this. I loved your GT-1000 10 review as well. I just bought a pair of these. Felt great in the store. Broke them in doing a mile then a KM. Felt great for the first time using them. Looking forward to breaking them in even more!
Thanks for posting this! I was looking for info on this shoe and couldn’t find any on the site I usually check to research new running shoes.
This video was really helpful and love your energy! It's nice that you answer everyone's questions. Question on toe box. I currently wear Asics Gel-Kayano 25, which are my favorite because of the roomy toe box. I found the 26's to be too snug or the sizing was off. What are your thoughts on the toe box for the 27 and 28? Thank you.
Many thanks for your video and brief analysis. Just bought them following 3d scan recommendation. Subscribed to your channel for further info. Well done and thumbs up.
Thanks a ton Stavros, it is appreciated my friend!
I loved my Kayano 28. 29 was short and 30, well not so sure. Good advice to try it on at the store. Thank you J.
great review thank you 1st time buying this brand... New Balance/ Brooks customer
Thank you for the video:) Have been using two pairs of Kayano 25 during last three years and now I think it is time to pick a new update from Asics!
Isn't it great my friend. Actually out of the 23, 24, 25, 26 and 28, the 25 has been my favourite pair. However, the 28 is coming very close for me because the Flytefoam Blast makes it feel so nice and soft. Let me know if you get a new pair, what colour and how they go my friend!
@@kickinit7018 thank you for letting me know, my friend. I really like the 25th model as well! I had Kayano 22 and 17 before my first 25 pair if I remember correctly. And 25 was my favorite among all these models (so I ended up picking an additional pair of them)! I hope I will enjoy running in the 28th iteration of ASICS Kayano in two days. I picked a black/red model for myself, my friend. All the best to you and to your channel!
@@Shuka4Beats Let me know how they turn out my friend, I would love to hear about it! Thank you, very much appreciated! 🙏
@@kickinit7018 after using Kayano 28 for about two weeks I think 25th model for me personally was better and much more comfortable since I didn’t feel any pain in my left foot in the previous model after running 6-9 km like I feel with 28th Kayano after each my training. Besides, my tempo has been reduced with a new pair of sneakers. Maybe I will need to wear them longer in order to come up with more objective criticism but my firsts impressions were like these... I hope your first experience with Kayano 28 was much more pleasant, my friend:)
@@Shuka4Beats Hey Shuka! I am sorry to hear that my friend. Yeah for me I was a bit in the middle...like they were a tad bit heavier because of that extra flytefoam blast, but the softness you get on the sole made it excellent for me. Hopefully with a bit of break in over time they get there my friend!
Crazy coincidence! I have a pair of Asics Kay 29 set aside. Size 10 only left for 120 Canadian. I'm normally a 9 and half. None left. Gonna go with the 10s.
I am suffering from bursitis so im watching this video. I have been wearing slides at work so probably the slides is the reason why my foot has been aching. Im considering to purchase but going to research more about shoes that support the ankle
Thank you for this video! The last pair of Kayano I had was the 18. Fell off the wagon a little and I’m ready to jump back on. The shoe seems to have gone through some big changes since the 18. I loved that shoe so I just ordered the 28. Thanks for your insight!
Hello Lee, no problem my friend! Glad to see you getting back on the wave. Let me know how it turns out :)
Does sizing up or down relates to heel slippage? Thanks.
this shoes really helps my ankle have an injury and its really helps me to correct/support my ankle since its colapsing when im walking… the only problem is i can feel some pain in my inner heal very uncomfortable on that part.
Hi, I'm from Brazil and I liked your videos posted here, explaining about some tennis models. I have doubts about which shoes I should choose and I'm in doubt about 03 models, Nimbus 23, Kayano 27 and Ultraboost 21 (Adidas), the intention is to use these shoes for walking, going out with the family, using the gym and standing, no it is intended to running. And I have pronated tread. So what's your suggestion?? Help me clear this doubt.
Hello German! Sorry for the delayed response, so just to be clear you said you are not going to use it for running? If you are using it for just walking I would get the Ultraboost. I have a pair of Ultraboost that I use for walking and they are BY FAR the softest shoe. The one problem with the ultraboost is that they have weak lateral supports because the upper mesh is typically made out of a knit material. This makes you more prone to rolling your ankle in the gym, especially if you are doing exercises that involve jumping or side to side movement. If you are using it for walking AND in gym, I'd recommend Nimbus 23 or Kayano 27. If it is just for walking, definitely go Ultraboost :). Hope that helps, any questions let me know!
I would like to provide a quick clarification: When we talked about flytefoam blast, we talked about how it could make the shoe responsive but still very nice and lightweight. Let it be known, the Gel-Kayano is lighter because of the flytefoam; however, will not be lighter compared to other Asics shoes with less structure/support in them such as the Dynaflyte or the Gel-Quantum. Nevertheless, that it is the trade when you are getting the type of support and stability that the Kayano offers. Thank you!
@N F Hey NF, we are actually trained in the retail stores to recommend Stability runners for people who are flatfooted and or overpronate. I can only speak to my experience, but in my 3 years of working retail I sold hundreds of Stability shoes to people who overpronat and or are flatfooted. In that time I have had many many people come back to give thanks for fitting them in a Kayano or GT-2000 etc as they would always say the shoe had done wonders to alleviate their pain whether that be in their ankles knees etc. This is especially true of people who were higher in weight. Hence, that is the reason why I still recommend this because from my experience and from what customers have come back and told me, stability shoes for overpronaters/flatfooters are great (once again from my experience).
I have recently bought Gel Kiano 28 ffor my daily run but somehow my ankle always got hurt after run. Is it the side effect of a neutral runner who use stability shoes, or it's just the shoes need some adjustment before they break in? Ps. I have only wore it twice
I have the Kayano 28, that exact color. I use it strictly for the gym and workouts. I cannot wear these casually as they make my feet look like elf feet. My favorite is the gel Kayano 24. it just looks sleek, simple, yet sophisticated as it has no logo on the medial side. I can wear those casually and stay comfortable. I know that Asics has moved into the chunky phase and all their models are now chunky even the Kayano. Overall, the Kayano 28 is a comfortable shoe that you can definitely wear every day but it does fit a bit snug so I would recommend to go half size up for those wide footers.
How do these compare to Saucony Hurricane 23 and Mizuno inspire 17? I overpornate a lot on my right foot and mostly do moderate to high pace on treadmill thanks in advance!
Hello Samuel, unfortunately I have not tried the Saucony Hurricane's or Mizunos! I can guarantee though with the support and new flytefoam blast in this 28, it will likely be heavier than the Saucony or Mizuno. Hence, if you prefer a lighter shoe go with those, but if you want something extra supportive and cushioned go with the Kayano.
I hope that helps!
So the 25 is still my fave, first shoe I didn't have to go wide on, standard width fit great, how is the width on the 28 in comparison? I have the 27 in a standard width, and it's a bit snug. 28's are on sale now, so want to get a couple pair, hoping the standard is back to the width the 25 had, more color choices if I don't have to go wide.
Hey Matthew, I would say the 28's are similar to the 25's in width and sizing! I hope this helps!
Are these good for both jogging and basketball ?
Is this shoes is good for morton neuroma? I want to know if the fore foot can handle my case.
I'm suffering from plantar facittis and Achilles tendonitis.. And i have flat feet too... If it will give me relief?
Thanks you.
I just bought Kayano 27 and I have avg width foot but flatfooted. For the first time since buying Asics(Cumulus ,GT 1000,GT 2000 previously) I had to buy half size up. Reason is the Kayano 27 is atypically narrow in the midfoot( really noticebly tight for me). If you have avg width foot,I would recommend trying them on at a store before buying. Turns out my big toe ends up where it should be in a half size up as well. Please note:I don't know if Kayano 28 has a narrow midfoot like 27 that I bought. Maybe they are typical width.
The .5 etc 8.5 or 9.5 version on the shoes are wider. The .5 accounts for the width and has nothing to do with the length
Hi thanks for your video, im currently using kayano 22 for like almost 6 years and thinking to change it since its been abused for so many long runs. i would ask should i get the kayano 27 or 28? in fact, that FF BLAST would be significantly soft and would likely to be weak for a long run?
Hello Verion,
If you are use to the Kayano 22, definitely go with the 27. I personally like the Kayano 28 for long runs and prefer a softer ride, but there have been some comment by runners about exactly what you are saying, the shoe being too soft. So definitely go 27, which would also probably be on sale at this time of year :)
@@kickinit7018 thank you so much for ur reply, i have purchased 27 with promotion price which actually save me some cash. Hopefully it will last as my kayano22.
@@Nexvionsify how are the 27's?!
Mine were smoked in less than 4 months from walking alone. I will now buy the 28 and hope they will have more longevity in them.
Hi , Sir , I am using ASICS kayano 26 extra wide and 8 I am i am enjoying it. Recently I bought kayano 27 platinum ‘ it is quite heavy in weight and it is very uncomfortable as my right feet goes outer side after the impact which subsequently result in impossible to run even for 500 meter ‘ where as with kayano 26 i can run for 5 km
Hey Naveen, I am not to sure what you are asking. Are you asking if the Gel-Kayano 28 will do the same? The Gel-Kayano 28 will definitely fit a bit bigger than the 26. In terms of weight, I'd expect to feel comparable tot he 27 especially since they did put the extra flytefoam Blast in there. This Flytefoam Blast does make the shoe softer though, SIGNIFICANTLY softer in my opinion!
Welcome
What is the right shoe for a man who walks 4 to 6 miles daily, running at a low to medium speed, knowing that my feet are normal and not flat
Thanks
I’m new to running, running shoes and ASIC. I’m running in $60 Nike shoes and I’m constantly suffering from shin splints. Would these shoes help my problem ?
Hey Badar, welcome to the running community my friend! Asics shoes will definitely help. Some brands are built more minimally but premium Asics models like the Gel-Kayano or Gel-Nimbus are built with a ton of extra support and cushioning. These will definitely help! This model specifically is built for people with flat feet, so if that is you these will be perfect (you can also try the Gt-2000 or Gt-1000). If you have a neutral arch/ are not flatfooted, you can still wear these, OR you can go with the Gel-Nimbus or Gel-Cumulus! Let me know if you have any other questions :)
What is difference between width D, 2E, 4E
Thank you Sir
I have a neutral medium arch feet & i am new to asics. I have tried my size on the store & booked a gel kayano 28 platinum from online, as the colour was not available in the store.
Now, my concern is, i am neutral footed & kayano is a stability shoe. Though, i am not a heavy runner, most of my use will be in the gym, Short walks & mostly lifestyle purpose. Shall i stick with the Kayano or shall i return it on arrival of parcel? & order something else?
I would give the Kayano a try my friend, especially if you are only using it for walking. It will simply feel like a very supportive shoe. Feel free to watch my video on Kayano's and neutrals on my channel :)
More than cushioning..this shoe has made for superior stability ...No 1 shoe
Are you going to review gel kayano 30? I need some honest review. 😊
Hi Jordan, I'm wondering if you'd be able to shed some light on the difference between the Gel-Kayano 28 and the Gel-Kayano 28 (MK), which I believe means Mesh Knit? I tried on a pair of the regular 28s that fit well, but the color scheme I like the most is only in the MK version. From what I'm gathering on the few reviews online, the MK version is somehow worse than the regular. Do you know if there is actually any significant different between the two versions?
Im here to get the same answer😁
Hey Taylor, sorry for the delayed response my friend. The MK simply means Mesh Knit, so the shoe uses a knitted upper. If you have ever worn the Adidas Ultraboost, it is similar to this type of material. There are trade off's, I personally love knit materials as they hug your foot, and it feels much more lightweight. Almost like you are wearing a sock. On the counter argument, my mom for example hates them as she feels like her foot is suffocating from how much the knit hugs. This is definitely personal preference and something you have to try on before purchasing!
@@kickinit7018 Thanks for the reply! I did end up trying both of them on to compare. I did like a lot about the Mesh Knit version, but the one problem I had with it was how high the heel wall came up. It was constantly pressing into my Achilles tendon whenever I took a step and made it sore. Perhaps a different size would've fixed this problem, but I'm happy with the regular Kayano 28!
@@krisztianhoffecker5016 answer is here my friend!
@@taysand Sorry the knit couldn't work out my friend. Hopefully they can adjust that with future models! I'm glad you are enjoying the 28, it's been my go to for the last couple months and has turned out great. I am currently using them on vacation. Hope I could somewhat help my friend!
What Asic type is good for heelpain/ plantar fasciitis/over pronator?
Hey Angie, the Gel-Kayano can help a bit with this. I would more so recommend the GT-2000 though it will have a softer midsole for your step. The Gel-Nimbus is the shoe I typically recommend to those with Plantar; however, this is not built for Overpronators.
Would you recommend this shoe for big guy? Already wear Novablast 2. Still think to buy this because of people said kayano is heavy
Hello my friend, my apologies for the delayed response, the Christmas season has been hectic. I'd definitely recommend this for a bigger guy. People who are bigger need a bit more support in their shoes, and this shoe has a lot more support than the Novablast 2. Just know though, that this will not be as soft as the Novablast 2 given the extra support, but definitely will provide you with what you need :)
@@kickinit7018 thank you sir. Already buy gel kayano 28 and its a little bit heavy than novablast 2. but its more comfortable for long "slow" run than using novablast 2.
@@LOYARBOLA Definitely my friend, the Kayano is typically a bit heavier than other Asics models, but with that comes great cushioning and comfort :)
They obviously have the Kayano 27 discounted. Should I get it, or the Kayano 28, being that it’s the new shoe with some updates? Thanks in advance.
Hello Sherrik, my apologies for the delayed response. Life has been crazy! If the 27 is on sale and they have your size and preferred colour, definitely go with that. There are not too many crazy differences and it will be the most comparable to a past Kayano if you have had one, given that the new model has flytefoam blast which provides a new feel (which some are loving and others not so much).
Let me know if that helps :)
Hi! I have a neutral footstep, is it problematic to use de kayano 28?
Hey Ze Pedro, not necessarily, it is just the Kayano will be more support than you actually need. But you can never go wrong with extra support so it wouldn't be too bad :)
If you are thinking of Asics for neutral footers, you can also check out the Nimbus and Cumulus 🙏
I have a problem with my ankle joint that is collapsing outwards... I am a fan of asics, what type of shoe do you recommend...
I don't want it for running but for walking long distances...(More than 15 khm ) Now i have the Asics GEL-Nimbus 23 M...I'm very happy ... But I have more stability and feel more secure when I tie my ankles with an elastic sock or strap...Thanks a lot...
IF you Are still looking Kayano 30 is great
I have not only flat feet but wide feet I wear 15 4e. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and it is extremely painful. Will ASIC help?
Hey Rodney, yes yes a proper running shoe with a great balance between support and cushion will definitely help ease some of the pain. The number 1 shoe i'd recommend you from Asics for plantar, is actually the Gel-Nimbus. Sold plenty in the past a retail worker to individuals like you, and they always came back and said the shoe did wonders. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Gel keyano 29 vs adidas bounce?
Will this help under pronation?
Would this shoe be good for a week at Disney world in October. I’m also looking at the nimbus 24 as well. I have no health issues with my weight or legs. My back is sore most of the time but that’s from my military service packing heavy gear for months in Iraq 06. Just let me know what you think. Thank you.
Hey my friend, sorry for the late reply. This shoe would definitely be good. To be honest, the Nimbus and Kayano are both Asics' best models. If you are flat footed, go with the Kayano. If you aren't flat footed, go with the Nimbus! I hope that helps!
No worries. I must have read your mind. I purchased nimbus 24 about two weeks ago. They are definitely a comfortable shoe. I’m looking forward to spending time wearing them at Disney world. Thank you for your time.
@@bigbluenationsmith2489 Perfect place to wear them my friend! I'll actually be wearing my Gel-Kayano's at universal later this week. Enjoy my friend!
That’s really awesome. Hopefully you have a wonderful time. We chose October because who would want to walk around Orlando in the summer.
I've been wearing kayanos for years ,but I was really disappointed with this model...the sides of the heel dug into me on the sides of my heel- it was such a shame ! I love this model :(
Really!? I loved this model and how cushioned it felt! I am sorry to hear that Elinor! :(
What is the maximum pace we can achieve!!!
And if we do run daily 10K, what is it's durability ( like wear and tear) in years?
Hello my friend, the average is typically 1 year to 1 year and a half, maximum two. However, I cannot necessarily answer this because it always depends on the size of the individual and how much they weigh. If they are heavier then the shoe will get worn down much faster!
Which ASICS do you recommend for under pronation or over supination ?
Definitely the Gel-Cumulus or the Gel-Nimbus my friend!
since its made for over pronaters can underpronate still use them for running?
Hey Adee, yes they can, however, if you are looking for shoes that will correct your underpronation these won't do it. They will offer more support but will not correct that issue. If you are looking for underpronation shoes, check out the Asics Gel-Cumulus :)
What the different between asics Kayano 28 and asics Kayano lite 2
From(stability)
Hey Hussein, from my recollection in the Gel-Kayano Lite the Dynamic Duomax (Stability support) on the inside of the shoe has been reduced/taken out. They use a different type of support system. This helps to make the LITE lighter in weight, so if stability is what you seek the 28 will be better.
Hello sir.. is gel kayano 28 good for long distance running? and it is light weight right?
Hey Conor, the Gel-Kayano 28 is extremely built for long distance runs. This is the shoe that is recommended by Asics for the 25 K marathons etc. However, it is not as light as other models, particularly this year because of the addition of the Flytefoam Blast. It makes for a much softer ride; however, adds a bit of weight. It is still light for the amount of cushioning it has in it, but may be heavier compared to other Asics models like let's say the Quantum or the Nimbus.
Is gel kayano 28 ideal for wide flat feet and plantar pain?
Hello Ajay,
Definitely for wide and flat feet yes! It is okay for Plantar pain as well; however, the Nimbus (which is not made wide foot) maybe just as good if not better for Plantar! The Kayano would be good at tackling both issues for sure :)
Hello, I have a question .. I am daily runner with Sketcher GO-RUN shoes (approximately 5-6 kms per day) ..... Recently I purchased ASICS GT - 1000 - 10 from India.. .but I feel that this pair is NOT SO CUSHIONED OR COMFORTABLE as compared to Sketcher. Should I go to any other BRAND or continue TO TRY this SHOES. OR I should purchase ASICS NOVA BLAST ?? Please suggest me.. your suggestion is very valuable to me. . because I give a lot of importance to running...
Hello Sam! I would give the Asics shoes one more try. The GT-1000 is a good supportive shoe but lacks cushioning. If you want something that is very good for cushioning AND support, I'd definitely recommend the GT-2000 instead. It is a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for in terms of the cushioning.
On the flip side, if you don't care about the shoe being too supportive and want more so something that is just more soft, the Gel-Nimbus or the Nova Blast would both be very good options. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions 🙏
Hey if your not looking for stability then you can go for the Adidas pure boost they are really comfortable to I have been using them but I recently found out that I have the inward foot problem so I have shifted to gel keyano 28
I just bought this show for track and field, is it really good on indoor and outdoor track??
This shoe is very good for either indoor or outdoor running. However, please note this show is built for more marathon running, not short distances like 100 M, 200 M or 400 M!
@@kickinit7018 ok thanks for letting me know that!
@@Mo.bandzzz No problem my friend!
I have low arch feet, it's not a flat feet but yes it's a little low, should I go for kayano or gt 1000/2000 ??
Hey Karan, all of these options will prove to be beneficial to a person with a lower arch type. It more so depends on what is your preference in terms of fit and feel. The GT-1000 is the lower end of all of these shoes, although it is great for lower arch types, it has a bit less cushioning and won't be as comfortable as the GT-2000 or the Gel-Kayano 28. Nonetheless, it comes at a cheaper price point.
As for the GT-2000 and Gel-Kayano 28 (or 27 if you get last years models), both of these will be more cushioned and feel more comfortable, just at a higher price tag. I can't really recommend one over the other, because these two shoes are both so excellent, it is more so about which one fits your foot best!
Long story short, if you do have the money, go with the GT-2000 or Gel-Kayano 28 (or 27 if available). If you don't, go with the GT-1000. Let me know if you have anymore questions :)
@@kickinit7018 I would like to highly appreciate and thank you for your prompt and detailed reply to my query,
Can you also suggest me a new balance running shoe for low arch ?
@@karanmadan6403 No problem at all Karan. I am not as familiar with New Balance, but from my research and understanding, two of your best bets are the New Balance 990V5 and the New Balance Freshfoam 860 if you are looking for shoes for somebody with a low arch. Let me know if you have anymore questions and what you end up ordering! :)
Nice video, would you recommend these over kayano 27?
I unfortunately never ran in the 27 my friend. However, what's worthy of noting is that these will be softer than the 27, but with that they will be a bit heavier. So if you prefer a softer shoe go 28 and if you prefer a lighter shoe go 27! Hope that helps 🙏
Which do you think is better, asics or brooks?
I have never worn Brooks before my friend. Only Asics, and from my experience Asics has been extremely comfortable. I have heard excellent things about Brooks though.
I've worn both, Brooks Adrenaline GTS is a very supportive , cushioned, and comfortable stability shoe. Not heavy either.
Can a neutral runner run on a stability shoe
Hey Themba, yes they can! Just understand that with that extra support may come a heavier and stiffer midsole. Some people mind it, others don't do to the support that they get in return. Definitely go and try on in store if you are interested :)
I actually have a video on this idea with one of Asics' most popular stability shoes. Here you go my friend :) :
th-cam.com/video/y4683wjpfSY/w-d-xo.html
Which one is better Hoka one one arahi 4, or 5, or 6. For flat feet and over pronation. Cz at mall now they don't have Hoka one one arahi 4 or 5 they only have Hoka one one arahi 6. But at online some shops still sell it. And arahi 4 cheaper then 5 and arahi 5 cheaper then 6. Or ASIC gel kayano better then Hoka one one Arabic,how about me balance..I just figure out that I have flat feet with slightly overpronation cz I m obese now. Hehehehe I have to kick my ass and move walk and do exercise, I can't run cz I am still heavy, but I need stable running shoes to walk or fast walk. Please give me ur advice and what the difference between all of them. Thank you so much. God bless you
Hello my friend, unfortunately I have not used the Hoka One or the Arahi's. I have only used Asics as well as the Adidas Ultraboost. In terms of Asics, for flat footedness the Gel-Kayano is a solid choice, the GT-2000 is also very good, as well as the GT-1000!
@@kickinit7018 wow. Thank you for the answer. U deserve a new subscriber 👍🏼 u are so kind to replay to me
WHICH SHOE I HAVE TO BUY GEL KAYANO 27 OR 2000 9
Hey my friend! Both the Gel-Kayano and the GT-2000 would be better than the GT-1000. However, if you are saying the GT-1000 is hurting your foot, then I would go with the GT-2000. Sometimes the Kayano has a bit of a stiffer midsole and it can cause a bit of hurting for those who don't like the GT-1000.
Gt 1000 10 is good for running?
Yes sir! GT-1000, GT-2000 and Gel-Kayano are all great. The GT-1000 is the least premium of all the models and will have the least cushion; however it will definitely have a lot more cushion than other budget Asics models. I'd definitely try it on Friday!
So do you like gel kayano 28 more than 25? 😅 28 is my favorite so far.
What about Kayano 29?
Video review hopefully coming soon my friend!
I have 3 pairs
I didn’t see anything when you pointed for the other video tho 😒
Haha my apologies my friend, it is a random small bubble that appears in the top right corner. I am not sure also if it appears on mobile!
