How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Low arches or flat feet -
Push Off
Big toe and second toe do majority of the work. -

Shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, heel spurs. -
How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot.
The GEL-KAYANO® 28 shoe creates a stable stride that moves you towards a balanced mindset. Featuring a lower-profile external heel counter, this piece cradles your foot with improved rearfoot support. To improve stability and responsiveness, we added FF BLAST™ cushioning to the midsole. It provides a smooth and supportive feel in each step. The trainer's new GEL® technology shape delivers a smooth stride, allowing you to experience a softer landing without losing speed.

Disappointed
The sizing seems to be inconsistent from previous models. Unfortunately, I wore out and can’t return. The front half of the shoe seems wider and no amount of tightening will correct. Also, the styling isn’t as attractive , but maybe that’s just the particular color scheme I bought.

Ready to go, right out of the box
Great shoe for long walks, up to 15 miles, on a paved path. No break-in period is needed.

If you like previous Kayanos DO NOT buy these!
I have been running in the Kayano for years. This model is significantly different, they eliminated the support feature in the mid-foot. They are also much softer in the sole, they feel great when just walking around but less than 1 mile of running my feet were killing me. I put 5k on these shoes, 1 run. ASICS would not stand behind this low quality product. I will not wear them again. I understand that sometimes changes in a product don't work but these are a gutted economy grade shoe, not a running shoe. By far not the quality I have been accustomed to from ASICS. Unless you like minimal support shoes, please do not purchase these for running.

Great shoe! This is my husband’s shoe and he wears nothing but ASICS. He said it was like walking on a cloud. Lol
