The ASICS shoes no longer fit true to size. For all of you runners, i normally wear a size 8 1/2 shoe, but I had to buy a size 9 to get the proper fit. ASICS has been my shoe forever and i always felt like i could get my true size until the pandemic

I have been buying Asics for years and had hte Kayano 26. I ordered the 27 and it definitely runs bigger by a 1/2 size. So I had to return the ones I ordered and now need to order a 1/2 size down.

Really comfortable. Great arch support. Help with discomfort I sometimes get in my knees when running.

4.5 star, love the color, feel and comfort. It's a well made shoes. I am a nurse and my feet felt pretty good all night a 12 hours shift. The reason I didn't give 5 stars because when I purchase it didn't come in wide. It still felt fine though.

Great shoes. They are a bit narrow, particularly after owning the Gel-Kayano 26 which had a lot of space. Very solid!

I read a review that said this style is being made with a narrower foot bed in than former years. That is true. The shoe is definitely narrower across the toes than my previous pair of Gel-Kayano (purchased a year ago). The new pair fit me, so I kept them, but if your foot tends to be a bit wide, I'd suggest that you choose another style. I bought the navy, and the color is rich, and the style is great.

Seems like all detailing is being removed from this brand (and all others as well) --shoes were too large and long. Haven't worn Asics in some time . They were always too wide for me--now the width is confusing. Sorry.

Excellent as always from a performance and looks point of view. I had a reconstructed ACL, having run marathons before in my Kayanos. Getting back into jogging was uncomfortable with my other non-aasics runners but these let me go the distance with a good bit more stabilisation and cushioning. My only knock on these are that 2 artificial creases are created in the fabric of the toe box which fold in on my toes when I walk and look odd, but don't bother me when I run. I have worn the same size for years so it is not a sizing issue for me, probably just a slight flaw in the shoe manufacture but overall, I still swear by my Aasics Kayanos. Been a fan since thee Gel Kayano 15 derivation and I always go back. Great shoe.

Since I have been wearing the wonderfully comfy Asics Gel-Kayano 26 model for a couple of years, I was worried that the 27 version would cramp my toes. It's really hard to find the 26 version in my size now, so I sighed and gave the 27's a try. They are only a little more pointy at the toe end and were fine in the toe box as well as the rest of the fit. They are still new/stiff, but I assume they will soften up soon. I like the new colors but miss the fuzzy lavender.

Have been running in this line of shoes for year and purchased in my usual size. Seems to run a little big (a little longer than usual), but still a very comfy shoe!

Very comfortable my only issue is I didn't realise they're entirely Mesh on the front of the foot. I hoped they be more water resistant and I bought them online. But very good arch support as I have fallen arches

Much improved over the Kayano 26 iteration! Great cushion and arch support both. The toe box is wide--almost too wide but very generous for custom orthotics. Color is outstanding.

Other Kayanos were less roomy. I returned because I felt it would be bigger immediately. Didn’t like material around toe box. Seemed weak.

Love these shoes. Can wear right out of the box! I'm not a fan of the new toe box design but will see if it wears as well without the leather on top of toe. Have had a few pairs and they wear well! Very supportive

Very comfortable and supportive. I have narrow feet and the medium width fits well in the heel and arch. It has nice padding for my bony feet. The toe area is very roomy and probably more than I need width wise but not a problem. Ordered half size larger than I normally wear.

Asics Gel-Kayano 27 is a decent looking, comfortable, and reasonably supportive sneaker offering stability, but the pair I received had a defect -- the toe box of one shoe was puckered and sort of crushed,so I had to return them.

This shoe feels a half-size small and is slightly narrow. I went up a half size and it seems to be fine. I haven’t worn these yet. GEL-Kayanos really help with my plantar fasciitis and pronation. It’s worth finding a pair that fits. Zappos’ excellent customer service, fast shipping and return policy make it easy.
