the size is right, the toe box too narrow.

They are sized different from the last several Kayano models. These are wider and longer. Should have bought the 2E after 16 previous pair of 4E that fit perfectly.

My left big toe pushes through a hole on the fabric long before rest of the shoe wears out. This has happened in the last 10 pair I have purchased. I love the shoe otherwise. Shoe stores tell me they have heard this common complaaint

The Gel Kayano 27 is nice and light, overall quite comfortable. The only reason this is not a 5-star review: the tongue on the right shoe folds over on the inside of the shoe when I put my foot in and can be uncomfortable. Not a big deal, but in an expensive shoe like this, I expect it to fit well every time I put it on. Still my favorite running shoe, will probably buy another pair next year.

Always a comfortable shoe. This pair seems to have a slight noise when walking down a quiet hallway (others in the past have been super quiet). Otherwise, as typical, a great pair of shoes.

Good fit except seemed a little narrow, but will probably break in. The sole is stiff enough to give good support, but cushioned enough to be comfortable.

I have used these shoes since the Kayano 7. I love them. They are a great training shoe. My only gripe has always been the laces they come with. It is almost impossible to do a runner knot with them. Please please start providing longer laces

Slightly small and narrow in the toe box compared to my previous Kayano, but it felt a half size small, so that could be the reason. I own 2 GT-1000 v5 & v6 and the new Gt-1000 v10 was a half-size small. I wondering if it's a change over the past few versions.

Had the 26 version in same color. Almost perfect. Slight blister on small toe but otherwise best shoes for the price. Preferred the gray but didn't have my size. Not super long lasting but will buy again.

I'm actually more towards 13.5 on Asics. Ordered 14 (4E) due to availability. Kayano 27, the middle sole width is narrower than Kayano 26.

Just not a comfortable shoe for me. Very good looking shoe. Found it to be tight around the top of my foot.

The shoes have been working great for me so far. They feel very lightweight, yet the padding in the sole makes them comfortable when going for a run or standing all day. My only complaint is that the laces seem to fray quite easily. I've only had the shoes for a month and the laces are starting to come apart in several places from untying them.

nice sneakers, but slightly tight around the laces. Otherwise, everything is fine, the performance is better than in GT1000, Gtx 2000

The right shoe for me, and I DEFINITELY appreciate the bright colors and reflective surfaces at night. I wish, however, that the sole was more durable, especially at the balls of the feet. I've had 6 (six!) pairs of Kayano 27s wear to the foam at that spot in less than 100 miles.

Really love this shoe. Extremely comfortable. I can wear them all day and I walk a lot for my job. Only bummer is that a hole has developed at the after a few months . But I have worn them almost every day of the week since I got them. I will probably buy these again and maybe put a patch on the inside where my toe hits.

Overall the shoes are working out fine, cushioning feel, good fit, and fair support when walking and lite running. The look and style is great, I would have liked for the manufacturer to place a grey color shoe string in the box as an alternate color.
