I bought kayano before but this one is way too narrow . I bought them for work and my feet are killing me , especially my left foot . I am little disappointed , I loved my kayano 25 . I love the look and hope they will stretch

Nice but not as comfortable as an old pair of Kayano's is had in the past. I needed a new pair of sneakers foe work as I sand all day but my back pin is back most likely due to these sneakers not being as supportive as my old pair of Kayano.

I had high hopes for these shoes after a friend recommended them for plantar fasciitis. I could definitely feel support in my ankles for over pronation but the arch support was lacking. I wore them with my custom orthotics but they are too narrow in the height of the shoe and made my feet feel worse.

I have worn this brand of shoes for yrs. but this new version is a disappointment. They are to big. They fit like a sz 10.5 instead of sz10 and are to wide in the ball of the foot. They are no way as sturdy as past Kayanos and are in no way as supportive. I would not buy these again!

I had high hopes for relief of my plantar faccistis after this shoe was recommended. I decided to try it without my orthotics and my arch has been painful. This shoe does have good ankle support and helps with over pronation. I had to go a half size up due to how narrow the toe bed was.

Not great customer care Ordered 44 received 43.5 online returns didn't work. Had to get email sent which took 5 working days. I think someone needs to take a long hard look at customer care. Very poor

I am a huge asics fan but the right shoe was too tight on my bunion I returned the shoe for a full refund and had no problems, I tried to go to a store so I could try them on to make sure of the fit but the store was not open 45 minutes after the posted time, I had traveled 45 minutes just to go to this store so sadly I could wait no longer and had to buy a competitors shoe, in the same outlet mall, I still love asics but the store should be open at the posted time.Maybe I will try again when these wear out.

These are super running shoes but the width is too tight compared to previous Kayanos, causing big issues with rubbing, calluses, and hot spots. Disappointing given the expense.

The inside area by the ankle wore out after just a few wears on both sneakers. So it looked like i wore them for years when they were brand new. My old Asics I wore for 7 years straight and did not have a problem like this, Seems like a defect of some sort. But other than that they are very comfortable.

Been wearing Kayanos for 20+ years and don't like the direction they're heading. Shape of the toe, inside materials, fit, quality all deteriorating with each pair for about the last three years. Hit and Miss with each mew model year. Even the colors aren't good.

My third Gel Kayano, too narrow across top of foot. Loosening the laces didn't help. So sad.

A great supportive sneaker; however, the Gel-Kayano 27’s feel slightly more narrow in the broadest part of the toe box than the previous style 26’s.

Love the sneaker but the toe area use to have a coating in the color of the sneaker, which prevented the fabric around the toes at base of the sneaker to get dirty....you seem to not make them that way anymore so sneaker gets very dirty there.

The toes feel wider than they did in the 26's. They are attractive shoes but I'm having a hard time making them fit properly. I have been running in the Kayano for over 20 years, something is just different with this model.

I much prefer my Gel-Kayano 25's The toe box on the 27 is more flimsy and there's something about the lacing and the tongue that is different in a not so good way

If you have wide feet, the tongue may be too narrow as it was for me. Last year's model tongue was wider

Not as supportive as another style they have but if you don't have major feet problems they will do the trick

I've owned many pairs of kayanos. This is the first time that my heel comes out of the sneaker whenever I'm walking. This needs to be fixed.

Shoe looks great but seems to be wider than a medium and my foot was sliding around. Tongue and laces are also too short. Looks great tho.

Shoe is fine. Slimmer and more sleek than the last kayano however Toe box seems to crease and then rubs into big toe. Apparently it's to do with the new plastic like mesh that keeps the toe of the shoe but it lost its shape after 1 run and got worse after a week. Had to return but still will only wear ASICS for my running ans cross training.
