Shoes feel more narrow than other kayano shoes. Takes several weeks to break the shoes in so they don't feel tight.

Something is not right with these shoes. The tongue does not stay centered no matter how they are tied. They are uncomfortable across the top of the foot even when tied loosely. I've had Gel Kayano 27 for years and this version didn't work for me.

I don't think is the shoe for cross-training. My foot must have moved around a lot during weight lifting and agility movements because by the time I moved to the treadmill, I was in a lot of pain on the outside of my foot.

I am not happy with this shoe. I bought the #27 Kayano and it is very uncomfortable. I only used it about 6 times because every time I used it my foot heart and feel nondnes. I don't recommend this shoes.

They aren't like Kayanos 24 to 26. Disappointed. I've purchased last 10 years and something has changed with the support, doesn't have the same gel support.

I always loved the Kayano style and support. But this one was too narrow for a wide shoe. No difference in the width from the l medium width. Unfortunately, I had to return them.

At first these shoes were great. After only 6 weeks of wear they both have holes in the toe area.

Tighter across the instep than prior versions. I cannot wear them as long and they aren't as comfortable. Huge disappointment. Will look to buy a different brand for the first time in years.

Really wanted these to work. The heel was too wide and my foot slipped out of the shoe.

I LOVE Gel-Kayano - best sneakers for long distance running. I just purchased Gel-Kayano 27, light blue my regular size (8.5). Sneakers do not fit well - much wider in the front than Kayano 26. I tripped few times - size down for this one.

Beautiful shoes! I loves the colors. But are not near wide enough to be called a wide width shoe! Very narrow, should actually be called Narrow Width!! Had to return for refund : (

Love these but one week of wearing them, a seam separated. Wasn't sewn correctly.

I have purchased the Gel Kayano before and loved them, the new version isn't as comfortable. I feel like the cushion isn't as supportive.

I have worn only Asics for years. I am disappointed in this style. I feel like there is a lump in the arch of 1 shoe. Was supposed to be good for walking, but wearing it just to work has proven to be painful at the end of the day.

Looks great but the fit is still too tight across the top. I've seen reviews that the 28 is finally back to the original perfect version so may have to try one last time.

I love how ASICS fit usually. However after wearing these one time I had blisters on the back of my heels. The fit was a bit off and just enough to cause issues.

Runs shorter than my current Kayano 25's in the same size. Not very much support in the fore foot area.

Been a fan of the GT2000 for many years and decided not only to have a pair of them but also treat myself to Kayano 27's. I love them. They're light with great stability and cushioning. They also look great!!!!

The shoes have a curve tip up and hurts my big toe and little toe after a little while or using them. Can't wear them for long period of time

I love the look of this shoe. They look like “regular” shoes and not like “special” shoes for overpronation. However I will return them due to not enough support and they were not wide enough for me. I will purchase another pair from Brooks. I just wish Brooks would update their style. Most look like “old lady” shoes.
I'd also recommend:

I'm so disappointed in these shoes. They were expensive, and are falling apart after a month. The material around the top of the shoe (near my ankle) tore within a couple weeks and I don't feel there is good support because I developed a foot injury from walking. (Which I do all of the time.) It's so expensive for the quality it actually is.
