Worst shoe company. Will not ever purchase shoes from this company again. They need to change their name and what it means because they are no longer that company.

Wrong size and too much of a hassle. I bought three Saucony that fit perfectly. Good luck as I used to only run in Asics.

I am an asics long customer and only use asics. These par are the first time i feel dissappointed. The foam behind the ankle on the left foot broke and feela funky now. Like a bump behind my ankle. I dont have receipt nor box anymore. They look great and feel great. But it s a bumer the foam i side went to the bottom.... I am very happy with the other 2 pairs i bouvht during december.

Not the same size as the same shoe ordered last year, also a black GK27. Asics must have changed the way they make them without changing the iteration number

A huge let down. This was my 9th pair of Gel Kayanos over the past 15 years. Asics took a winning formula and ruined it. There is no support under the toes in the 27 model. Consequently, rolling forward with each stride feels like falling off a cliff. Also, the shoe deforms when you roll forward (off the cliff). A huge let down. I will not purchase another pair.

Second time I've bought this style of shoe. Got a different pattern this time and the toe material pulls down and pinches your toes. Didn't happen on the other color that I had so I returned it. Whenever you step down the front of the shoe pulls and makes 2 creases at the toes, no good for running.

This used to be my go to shoe from Asics. Does not fit like any of the previous models and has a very cheap feel to it. Tried on and returned so can not give feedback on run characteristics.

I love ASICS, and have loved most of their shoes. However, this Kayano shoe didn't live up to the expectation. For any shoe priced this high, the quality should be there. The toe end has this weird crease near the big toe side, doesn't have as much cushion as a running shoe should have. I do love the color scheme, but other than that I have to score this shoe very low.

The fit is fine in 4E for me but the front of shoe pinches together into a point, looks weird, never seen a shoe from Asics do this before. For some reason they got rid of the thicker stiffer rubber band that usually wraps around the front of the toe and the material just collapses into itself and makes a pointed shoe look almost like a womans pointed leather shoe I've seen before.

The toe box is poorly constructed. It puckers badly when walking. Submitted a warranty claim.

I have been using ASICS for a long, long time. I have run many marathons, half marathons and ironman races. I was even in the Boston Marathon the day it was bombed by terrorists. I have always used ASICS size 9 wide. I recently had hip replacement. It was very important for me to use new shoes during my hip replacement physical therapy and recovery.

I would not consider any other brand of running shoes.

I've been wearing Asics for years and I'm very disappointed with the quality of these shoes. The front has hardly any support and my feet ache when walking on anything other than carpet. Also experienced the weird creases in the top of the toe box like other reviews. These are going back for sure.
