WHEN IT comes to running shoes, only a few brands belong in the top echelon of performers. Asics is one of those brands. The legacy maker has be churning out excellent sneakers for decades now, all the way back to when they first began as Onitsuka in 1949 (the name change to “Asics” wouldn’t happen until 1977). Needless to say, Asics’ quality of running shoe and price point have stood the test of time.

The GEL-Kayano 28 was actually named our “Most Versatile Trainer” in our Best Running Shoes. We credited the GEL-Kayano 28’s new and improved heel construction and its classic premium arch support as two key features we love. The GEL-Kayano 28 also gained high praise from Mark J. Mendeszoon, DPM, FACFAS, a long-time podiatrist at Precision Orthopedic Specialties in Ohio,
“The latest iteration of Asics standout shoe is also one of Mendeszoon’s favorites. ‘This shoe provides high cushioning and stability along with optimal shock absorption and arch support,’ he says. This model features a new gender-specific 3D space construction under the heel to reduce weight while maintaining maximum cushioning.”
