I love the Kayano product line and model 27 is great! This stability shoe reduces my shin splits. Great quality and keeps my feet in proper position.

It took lil long time to get my shoes and we had to follow customer care and they said we have to wait for one more week.

These shoes are not the best for my plantar fascitis. I can't wear them all day which is what I need.

This is a comfortable, supportive, attractive athletic shoe. I only wear ASICS, but I wish the uppers were made of sturdier material.

I have a weak arch and I do Zumba, steps, and some other cardio almost daily. I use full insulation but previous shoes still didn't support me. This one has been great for a month now! I wish it's easier to tighten the shoe races and have a little better grip on indoor gym flooor but I'm loving it.

Good product. Just didn't care for the color. Not true as presented in the photo

I felt like at first that they ran small. I ordered a size 10. I really needed shoes and my last pair in a different style stretched out. I've been waring them to work in only. I stand all day for a living. They have stretched out enough to feel comfortable. I loosen to laces a lot.

The regular width of these run narrow, so although wider than those, these may be more narrow than the typical wide shoe, if that makes sense. I have moderately wide feet, but I've never had to buy wide shoes in my life, even in all my many past Asics, even multiple past Gel Kayanos. For me, moving to the wide width in my usual size made the right fit. These shoes, at least in this color, tend to do a weird crinkle thing in the material near the toe which is unfortunate for such an expensive, high level shoe. Overall, they seem comfy enough. I hope they last and do not get all torn up in the lining around the heel/achilles like every single past Gel Kayano I've had before.

I like the Kayano 26 better as they hug my feel more securely.

I bought these sneakers for my sister who runs almost daily. She trains for half marathons. She has a pair now and seems happy with them. The pair I bought will be given to her at Christmas, so since she is not yet using this pair, I am unable to give a thorough review. The pair I bought arrived in excellent condition with normal delivery time.

Very good for arch support. Only shoe I can use when plantar kicks in. I do think they are overpriced however. I would recommend getting them elsewhere on a good sale.

Very cushiony and supportive. The width is slightly narrower than the 26, but the fit is ok with thinner socks. I will switch to my normal Thorlos when the shoe stretches a bit.

Great shoe. Arch support feels a bit different than the last model (more firm), but still a solid shoe.

Cute, soft, and comfortable shoes, fit my feet perfectly. I would wish for a stronger air cushion as I run on these shoes regularly.

I've had this shoe in the standard width and loved it for a couple years now, but it's a littler narrow for my wide forefoot. I was so excited to find the wide (D) version, but I'm a little disappointed. It's still a great shoe with great support (I have plantar fasciitis and knee pain from over pronation), but it doesn't feel or look any wider than the standard width. If anything, it's a bit longer not wider. I could have saved myself the headache and just sized up from an 8.5 to a 9. Live and learn.

I'm pretty in love with these shoes. This is my 4th or 5th pair. The only negative I can think of is.1 they wear down relatively quick. They're like a cloud of glory when you first get them but that cloud starts to flatten out just a touch after the first couple of weeks if you wear them constantly and then by month 3 or 4 I feel like they're done and I need a new pair. I just bought 2 sets so I can have one for wearing every day and 1 set just for working out. The other bummer is that the colors get INSANE and it's hard to pick something I'm not embarrassed to wear in public. The rose gold ones got complements DAILY no joke. People would stop and ask me where I got my kicks all the time. Once they discontinued those it's been harder to find more neutral colors. Thankful for these pink and gray which are pretty neutral and nice looking.

I love these shoes and now have two pair. They are very good walking and just wearing inside doing normal chores. They are very comfortable too. However after two months, the tip wore through from my toe, and now there is a hole on top. Other than this, they are great!

Nice and cushy - good for pronaters. My 4th pair! I tend to rip through the toe after a year but by then they need replacing anyways!

These are very cushy and comfortable. The only disappointment I have is that although they are wide width, they are a little snug still. It's the width I usually get with another brand so I naturally thought they would fit the same way.

The shoe is comfortable, light and fresh, but I notice that it needs more reinforcement at the toe. I'm happy anyway

This is a great fitting shoe. My only concern is buying it online and it came with a small dent it rubs on a toe. It's probably best to buy these in the store and try them on.

Very comfortable shoes, but I wish the mesh were a little stronger so it doesn't get poked through.
