Unbelievable. I ordered a mens size 10. This shoe was labeled US 10, EURO 42, 26.5 CM. NO WHERE IN THE WORLD IS A 26.5 CM EURO 42 a US 10.

Asics have historically fit my wide, flat feet and were my favorite go-to sneaker. I bought two pairs in different colors, based on the description that they were a good chioce for overpronation. However, this sneaker was much narrower than expected, even though I ordered the wide in both. I could barely get my foot in the sneaker. It appears that Asics is no longer a sneaker that runs on the wide side. Extremely disappointed. Returned both.

I thought they might be an improvement from Keyano 26.. they are NOT! I ordered same size as my 26 and they were narrower and the base was longer. Not as expected, disappointed. I don't understand why ASICS product developers continue to keep changing the fit of their shoes. I returned both pair immediately. I then searched for the Keyano 26
and ordered them, and They fit and feel perfect.

Been running happily in Kayanos for over 10 years. This version size is so short. My toe hit the end and after 5 runs a hole in the upper shoe material formed. Waste of a high end shoe!

Last year I bought a pair of Keyana 26 shoes, and they were great. I loved them so much, I decided to buy them again this year. Unfortunately, they were not available, so I ordered the Keyana 27s. They have a different shape and width, and the toe box is very different than that of the K26 pair. Very disappointing.

Just wrote the company. Couldn't be more disappointed with the 27"s. Been wearing gel kayanos for years. This is the least support for running and are narrow. My ankles were killing after I wore first time

Generally, the shoe is comfortable (don't rub, good sizing, etc). However, I bought these to help with my overpronation due to very flat feet. Unfortunately, it feels like it makes the over pronation even worse! These make the outside of my foot (along the line of my pinky toe) cramp like crazy. As a result, I have to over pronate even more than normal to try not to cramp. Do not buy if this is the type of support you're looking for!

My podiotrist recommended the kayano a couple years ago. The first pair was a dream, helped reduce my pain so much. After that, each pair I have seem to only last a couple months. I just got this new pair and my pain is extreme.

My daughter always takes me to the outlet store to get these for my birthday. I decided to order an extra pair. I got USED shoes! You don't buy shoes that are already laced up! I won't order again

Absolutely useless. I ordered my shoes 21 days ago and they still haven't arrived. Customer Service ("we don't use phones") are running an investigation which could take 5 days! So that's 26 days and counting. And now you send me a survey to rate my experience; priceless.

I so wanted to love these - been wearing Asics (and Kayano) for years. However there is a serious problem with the toe box on the 27. It creases the upper across the toe, even just trying them on around the house. Running would cause serious bruising to the top of my toes. The toe box reinforcement feels very flimsy compared to previous models. I tried 2 sizes in case that was the problem, both the same, both went back.

I ordered size 11, and they were ridiculously huge. And size 10.5 are slightly snug. So I returned them.

Bought these, assumed they'd fit. Sadly not. I'm a 38, these fit approx 2 sizes smaller. Very disappointed indeed.

I am so disappointed in these shoes. I've been wearing ASICS for years and this version of the gel kayano is awful. Blisters and sore feet after every walk and run!

Not enough support and the front part of the shoe caved in when I stepped in a way that bothered my big toe. Ended up returning them.

I filed a warrant complaint one week after they arrived because the stitching came apart and the cushion stuffing around the heal started bulging out. I heard from the company once asking for a ton of info and photos of the damage and as of today haven't heard anything. I bought received the shoes on 6/12 and filed the complaint on 76/19 and yet here I wait. It's a bummer too because I love my ASICS shoes.
