What the heck happened to ASICS? These are supposed to be wide but they fit narrower than the regular width. Also, although they look nice, these shoes feel hard and stiff. Very disappointed.

The stitching is off around the toes making them pucker on the one shoe. My feet hurt in them. Sorry I spent so much money on these.

I love that I could find a predominantly white athletic shoe, they seem so hard to find without looking like old lady shoes. However, I expected that these shoes would have much more arch support than they came with. I will keep them, but these will not work for power walks. Just not enough support. I can use them for rowing and biking, non impact situations.

This shoe seems to run slightly longer than previous models and the balls of my feet don't line up in the shoe very well. They also feel very flat with little support. Ive been wearing this shoe done 2013 and this is the first time ive given a bad review. The 26's were so much better than the 27s and I've even considered returning them because they fall short of what I'm used to in a gel kayano

The toe feels to narrow. I dont have wide feet so I was surprised by this fit. And their strict return policy prevents me from returning. Would be comfortable otherwise!

Do not buy these shoes. It took literally a month before the mesh top had holes in it.

The front part of the shoes do not have the same cushion as the heal part.

I love the sneaker and it's well assembled but the fit is not right for me. I had ordered a size 8 and it was short and the 81/2 is too big. I have to wear it with the insole and orthotic for a better fit.

I have been wearing the Gel-Kayano for years in AA width. "The manufacture quit making them. I ordered these they're too wide in the toebox but I kept them anyway. The shoe laces are too short if you tie them all the way up to the side holes. I wish they bring back the AA width and lengthe the shoe laces

Shoe is great but color is much lighter than it appears on the website. It's more of a teal blue in person.

This is the first pair of Asics shoes I haven't felt comfortable in. The cushioning is great, but they are more narrow than my last 3 pair of Asics Gel KAYONO 25's. I could wear the 25's from day one, all day long, but can only wear these an hour at a time before they start hurting my feet. I do like the color.

I love Asics and have been a long time fan. Just a point to consider - the top toe area is not reinforced. That matters to me as I sometimes do trail walks/hikes in my Asics. Otherwise, they're just fine!

This is a SUPER cute shoe but I have a narrow foot and this shoe is TIGHT! I usually wear GT-2000 and this felt like it had more cushioning but definitely squeezes the foot. I loosened the laces a lot and it feels wearable now.

I bought these gelkayano 27 as a replacement to my previous gel kayano 26 which have been amazing. I have very pronounced bunions and although the new trainers are very comfortable underfoot the gel kayano 27 have come up frustratingly narrower in the toebox which causes discomfort. Disappointing.

I ordered my normal size 8 but they felt too short, my toe was too close to the end. I returned them and ordered a 8 1/2 and after 7 day I still have not received them. Not too happy!

These were not what I expected, not a bad shoe but I'm looking for more support.

This shoe has arch support and thick cushioning, yet I feel a strong, pounding hit to my feet when I run in them. My not-so-cushioned Nikes seem to absorb the impact a bit better. The arch support makes my arches feel sore. The shoe isn't very deep, which makes my feet feel like they're slipping out. The top/front part of shoe puts an odd type of pressure to my great toe and metatarsal, making that region sore as well. I may use these shoes for work instead, although I stand for about 8 hours per work shift.

Settled on the Asics Gel-Kayano 27 after a lot of research as to what might work best for me. It’s tough to find a very supportive shoe in a wide fit and I was thrilled that these are so cute. We normally get only white or black in wide fit. Unfortunately, it was evident from the beginning these were much too narrow in the toe. I was disappointed as they have great arch support and were cushy but not overly so.

I have these in a regular 8 and my podiatrist suggested I start getting wide shoes due to a nerve issue. So, ordered these in 8 wide and they fit no different then the regular. Will be returning due to size.

They seem really tight. Perhaps I should have ordered one half size larger, or something.
