Great shoes, guaranteed Asics quality. Not to mention how cool they look! Size was a bit smaller that my other Kayanos, otherwise no complaints.

Good shoe for problematic feet, as I have overpronation

I wear an 8 in general footwear (primary Chuck Taylors), and 9's for Asics runners.
The 27s are very light, a little too long considering these are the same size as my Kayano 25's but nothing overly noticeable. Originally bought for running only - but recently had to drop running due to a knee injury. Now used primarily for 30-40mins of HIIT and an immediate 2.3km powerwalk, 5 times a week. As a a consequence there were an excellent choice for a mixture of HIIT and short powerwalks. My 25's were very stiff around the ankles due to only being runners, while the 27s are excellent as they are light, breathable and a tad softer around the ankles (squats were slightly uncomfortable with the stiff ankle support) All n all, very stylish, flexible, love the full black, semi supportive (not as supportive as the 25's, but the 25's were far heavier - more tech) but a very very nice pair of active shoes.

Good Quality. Sizing was not satisfactory, as I chose based on the website size chart.

Arrived on time as stated. Very comfortable for walking, easy to clean. Not ideal if you have a wider foot

These are comfortable and supportive. I ordered my usual size 8 and they fit well, although I wear a 7 in street shoes. I have some tendinitis at my achilles, and these don't rise as high in that area as other running shoes, so they are perfect for me. I like the arch support and the amount of foam, important since these are mostly for miles of city walking.

I really like this shoe. It is comfortable and provides great structure for those who over or under pronate a little. However, the toe box is a little smaller and it's more narrow than the regular Kayano 27s. I was glad to see that Asics provided women with a non pastel option.

Great runner for training and for people with flat feet to support the arch but could be lighter and not a fan of the laces

It is bery comfortable but the issue is the design on the front where the extra material of the design around the front makes it look like a boat. Wish there is no extra wing look so it doesn't look so wide

I've worn Asics for years but they discontinued the one I usually wear, the "Dedicate", and these were the most compatible according to reviews. First impression is that it fits a lot more snug than the Dedicate, almost too snug but I'm thinking they will stretch out with use. There is a lot more cushioning which is good but time will tell how long that lasts. So far I'm happy with this purchase.

Good cushioning. Power walking is smoother and easier to go extra distance. But after 1 hour exercise,2-3 hours later the laces hurt a I have to remove shoes. I'd buy again for short times daily use, not all day wear.

These feel less structured than the Gel Kayano 26, especially in the heel area. Disappointed because as a heel-strike runner I really liked that the 26 had a heel with a stiffer outer layer (I don't know a technical term for this!) that seemed to help diffuse the force of landing to other parts of my foot. The 27 feels more cushioned.
I will probably keep these because even with the change they're likely healthier than running in my worn out old shoes. I'll try to find another shoe though to switch to as soon as possible.
The color does look great - Mako Blue and Hot Pink.

These sneakers were tight around my heel. I've got plantar fasciitis and my heel area is especially sensitive, so I didn't give the shoe much of a chance after trying it on and feeling such a tight pinch. I chose to go with the Nimbus 23 instead - like walking on a cloud.
