the shoe for my right foot is tight. will mail it back to get a replacement. have had many pairs of kayano over the years without any problems so not sure why this pair didn't fit well.

Unfortunately they didn't fit my feet evenly. I don't know if they changed something about the design, but I have heel slippage on my right foot. Left one feels amazing.

I wore one pair and I'm returning the other pair because after a couple months they stretched too much. They also are not very cushioned.

I have bought many Asics products. I usually go with the Nimbus, but, thought I would try the Kayano's. This was a big mistake for me. Whenever I wear them my feet hurt for days afterwards. I rarely wear them, and, am not able to return at this point. I will stick with what make my feet happy, the Nimbus.

Pretty good but not a replacement for the discontinued Kayanos I bought two years ago. These feel less supportive and my arches start to ache but I am hoping to get used to them. I like the color though!

I have always purchased a 9.5 women's ASICS shoe. I read that this shoe runs large but went with the size of all my other ASICS that I have bought since I have always been happy with the size. They were .5" longer and .25" wider in the toe box than all of my other ASICS. So, I had to return them. The return process was well laid out on line and easy to follow. So that is why I am giving ASICS a 3
star.

Sturdy shoe, lightweight shoe, but not as comfortable as the last version

This sneaker is not a good fit if you wear GoodFeet orthotics.There is not enough room for my GF orthotics. The toe box is roomy if you have bunions!

I have loved Asics for many years, but have had issues both last year and this year. My last year's had a hole in the toe box within a matter of weeks. Shoes still look new other than the hole. The 27's have a stiffener around the end of the toe that indented and now poke the end of my big toes on both shoes.

My preferred running shoes but these were a disappointment- the toe box folded awkwardly in my suitcase and I couldn’t bend it back into shape. Had to slice the toe open with a steak knife the morning of my marathon, or I would’ve had an enormous blister on my toe almost immediately! Disappointed in the quality, but it makes a fun story.

Just ok running shoes. I have a really high arch, so not the best shoes for me for longer runs.

I love ASICS Kayano's and live in them everyday. This particular style has a bit too much forgiveness in the toe box. A little too much give.

Have had Kayanos for years. This version is narrow in the toe box. Sometimes my baby toe will cramp. Liked the older versions because of the wide toe box.

The arch is good but the foot padding is hard. The bottom of my feet, especially, my toes hurt after a walk or workout and most of the night. I had planned on buying the Hoka but I'd had ASIC before and they were great. These were a little cheaper and not multi-colored.

It runs narrow. But if I wear nylons and keep the laces very loose I am able to wear the sneakers. In the past I didn't have this problem with ASICS sneakers. So I am a bit disappointed.

A good shoe, but I don't love it as much as the gel kayano 26. The 26 had more stability for over pronation. These 27s I can feel my foot rolling in toward my big toe

I have been buying Kayanos for almost 10 yrs. But the 27s just don't have the same or better gel comfort that the 24-26s did.

I ordered 2 pairs of the Gel Kayano 27. This pair looked and felt wider than the same shoe in a different color.

Comfortable sneakers the only complaint is after few months material of the sneaker is made from wears causing holes. This is my second pair in less than a year wish material was more sustainable!

These use to be my favorite running shoes. Something with the foam changed and not for the better. I feel the ankle support is fantastic but everything else about them is stiff and with very little cushion.

For the price I was expecting better quality and support. I had to add an insert for that. I’ve always ordered this brand and had better quality and support from less expensive ASICS. Disappointed overall but needed an all black shoe which is hard to find in a 7 1/2 shoe.
