These are so comfortable. Perfect for foot and back pain. Each step feels like you're walking on clouds.

I knew from past experience to go up a half size in Asics and go wide (usually wear a 7 in sneakers) so ordered 7.5 W and they fit perfectly! lots of cushioning; very comfortable.

So comfy! Feels like I'm running on a cloud. Especially nice on my achy knees and ankles. This shoe is very lightweight. It looks good, as well.

These are very comfortable and provide awesome support for my overpronation and low arches. I have to be very particular about shoes I wear.

I have always worn the Gel Nimbus in the past & decided to try the Kayano this time. I am very please with the increased ankle stability and overall comfort. I have narrow heels but need extra room in the toe box due to foot injuries & surgeries so these work perfectly for me. Very pleased

This is my second pair of GEL- Kayanos. I love the support these shoes give my feet. My regular shoe size is a 6.5 but I wear a 7 in athletic shoes. My last pair of Kayano was a 7.5. A lot of reviews said these are true to size but I remembered from last time that they ran pretty narrow and tight. This time I purchased both the 7M and 7.5M. The 7s were too tight by far so I had to return them. I kept the 7.5 which fit well - even with my orthotics in them. I'm so glad to have found the GEL-Kayano athletic shoes. They are supportive, comfortable and attractive.

Bought this a while ago and wore them for the first time, I usually buy the GT 2000 but I really thought these felt so good today, I have a long narrow foot, they fit well and I love the deep toe box. They are cute, too!

I am in love with these shoes! They are so comfortable for my problem feet. I have MS that has caused nerve pain & damage in my feet. It doesn't bother me in these shoes! I also have a screwed up toe fracture that never healed correctly. The toe box is wide enough to accommodate it comfortably! I don't need to go to men's shoes or order an entire size too large. I am thrilled! No idea how long these will last, but I'm happy right now! ?

I purchased them as a birthday gift for a friend. She loves them a lot. Told me the cushion feels really good against her feet.

Love these shoes. They are very comfortable and even though I normally wear a B width, it was the Wide D that fit. Only wish that it came in other colors.

I have been wearing this shoes since Kayano 12 but do not buy them annually. This is my 2nd pair of the 27s this year. I have colored Kayanos and do not really like the pinks they put onto the shoe for women. The shoes for men seem to have nicer colors with blues and teals. I haven't had a White pair of shoes in a long time and decided it was the only color I was willing to wear that didn't have pink in it. It's really bright White, stark White. Color aside, the shoe fits my feet nicely. I was in a hurry and didn't have time to remove the inside pad and replace with my orthotic insert. I wore the shoe for several hours while shopping and had no problems with it at all. My foot felt supported as I have weak ankles, high arches and plantar fasciitis (currently not bothersome). It was comfortable and had ample cushion to my satisfaction. I hope Asics does not change this iteration for a while, maybe improve the color choices for women. Some folks may find it's a bit chunky if they're used to skin thin shoes. The mid-foot is more narrow than the older pair of Kayanos I bought 2 years ago (Kayano 25s) but was fine for me. If you have wider than normal feet, you might want to try a wide size. I don't jog anymore because of my knees but for walking 2 miles or more on concrete, these shoes are very nice.

I suffer from plantar fasciitis and posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. I needed my orthotics for comfort and stability. The Gel kayano 27 provided not just both but also the aesthetics not usually seen with orthopedic shoes. Highly recommended.

I am not someone who "breaks in" shoes; if they don't feel perfect when I try them on I do not purchase them. I have 5 pins in one foot (which caused it to spread out), and bunions and arthritis in both, so I now need a wide width. These shoes, recommended by my podiatrist for motion control, felt unbelievably cushiony. It is hard to believe they are so stable. I now wear a women's size 9 Wide and these do not make my feet look like Frankenstein's. (By the way I purchased the men's version in black in regular width size 7.5 and had the same positive reaction.) Thank you Asics!

A lot of people said these run small so I ordered up a half size, definitely didn’t need to. They do run narrow and have lots of padding, but that’s perfect for me. If you’ve gotten this style ASIC in the past, you’ll be happy with this one.

These fit snug but not tight. So they are comfortable and not sloppy. I have one foot with a bunion and and they are wide enough but not too wide for the other foot. The are a little spongy but don't hurt my back. i love them!

I love the way these shoes look and they’re very comfortable. I use insoles in my shoes for my knees. The insoles fit nicely in these shoes and I have great heel and arch support. I’m a big ASICS fan!

I became enamored with Kayano’s many years ago after New Balance changed the style I wore regularly. As with previous versions of the Kayano’s, the 12s fit perfectly. I did notice the 27s seemed to fit a little snugger across the width... or maybe my feet just got fatter during the ‘Rona. Regardless, the unbeatable combination of GEL-Kayanos and the amazing customer service of Zappos, my local brick and mortar store didn’t get my money again this year. I tried to give them my money, but they didn’t have my size, again. Take my money Zappos!

I like the Gel Kayano 27 much better than the 26. It seems more supportive on the sides of my feet so my feet don’t move around in the shoes as much as they did with the 26. Very well cushioned without feeling squishy. They feel
a little narrower than the 26 which for my narrow foot is great.

I jumped to this Kayano from the version 2 years ago. It feels great, supportive and lightweight. Don’t love all the crazy colors offered ordered the Mist color, and beware that it’s lavender not grey which I though I saw online. But no one will see me on the road in lavender shoes during COVID training. So I’ll get a new pair when I can finally get to a gym. Feel great, but looks like an Easter egg.
