Great running shoes as you'd expect, plenty of space in the toe box - but a bit tighter across the top of the foot than previous models. Might try a wide fit next time

I love this color and style. The only problem is that it isn't wide enough. I have purchased similar products in the same size, women's 12 wide, but for some reason, a crease has formed on the same spot in each shoe, resulting in blisters on both of my big toes. I work in the medical field, and there's a lot of walking for 8 to 10 hours a day. I'm using a shoe stretcher for now, which helps a bit

Please put the correct length shoe laces in the shoes!! This last pair's laces were so short, I had to remove the laces from my old pair to put in my new pair.

This sneaker does not have the same cushion in the ball of the foot as the 25 does.

I hope there's an option for wide on all the designs of your shoes/kayano for women. That would be awesome. Thank you.

The shoe construction was good and they looked good. But, I have a flat foot, and my foot is not wide, just flat. My left foot in the arch area spilled over the side of the shoe and caused me arch pain in the left foot after walking around in the house about 10 minutes and it only got worse and started to hurt the right foot. I had to return them. Back to looking for shoes for flat feet.

I just received my shoes and they are mint green. Not only is the picture grey and white the color description doesn't have anything green about it. Super disappointed...luckily they are super comfortable so I might just keep them anyway.

I bought this to help with plantar fasciitis. It is very hard , and it actually makes my situation worse. Since I have worn it, my plantar Fasciitis has got worse. And on the left heel area, it feels uneven. It does not give me the feeling of walking on cloud , etc that was in the promotional video on the website. The only thing I like about is its stability and specially the wide area on the toe box that is roomy and comfortable , yet the design is nice enough to hide the wideness from outside. The pink or coral color should have been white. Do not use that color in your future products. I had to order this because the gray white was not available

They don't help with the pronation as much as I would hope, and they've slowed my time. It almost feels like they're dragging me down.

I prefer gel-kayano 24....better quality and Nicer shape in front of the trainers.They look all squashed in the front. I would rather have Kayano 24 but they don't have them anymore.

The toe box seems wide enough, however they have felt tight on my right forefoot despite this. So far, my feet have been painfree while running short distances, however it hurts when walking greater than 2 miles.

I am sorry to say I had to send these shoes back. They were a beautiful style, but my normal size 9 ran too small. They were out of the next size up.

The shoes may be one of the best made and most luxurious running shoes I have worn. But unfortunately they where to tight around the foot which gave me pain and the occasional pins and needles in toes. Not as bouncy as nimbus 22's but a more stylish shoe.

The shoe is sturdy, but the sole is a little to tough/rigid.

I have worn Asics for decades, and am sad to say that the fit of this model just isn't good for my foot. I don't like the reshaped toe box, among other elements of this design (feeling narrow and tight on certain areas of my foot), and there is so little arch support. I will say that I really like the Lite-show color, which I much prefer to the other color offerings of the Gel Kayano 27. My favorite Gel Kayano was many, many versions back.

The 27s run narrow and remind me of the 24s. Had to return the shoes a d purchase a different brand. Disappointing because I have been wearing the Kayano years.

Lots of technology in this shoe - however be aware it fits a half size smaller than last years shoe! Very narrow across the toe box too. Lasts years uk12 perfect but no 12.5 offered - very frustrating!

I have several pairs of the kayano 25. I was excited to upgrade for a new pair of nursing shoes given my love for the old 25s I have that I beat down with years of 12 hour shifts. The look of the 27s is slick- however the toe box is incredibly uncomfortable and tight. It pulls and rubs when walking making it unbearable for me to ignore during a hospital shift. Unfortunately I can't return as I have already worn. Buyer beware- not the same as the previous models. Hopefully this will be modified in future pairs!

The new mesh material is interesting but the shoes got absolutely soaked within 5 minutes of running and exercising on a dewy field. The old material was more versatile.
