So disappointed. A lot of heel slippage with these, and the sole is so soft that it's worn away after just a few months. Not what I expect for the price point and the reputation. The 27's were a lot better than this.

I buy this brand only and this style but for some reason the 8's feel like a 7 1/2 and I have worn them so can't return or exchange :(

I've been wearing Gel- KAYANO for years. For the 28, they cut the width of the shoes and my inserts are squeaking in theses shoes.

Very disappointed in this model. I have worn Kayano for years, but this one is different. The toe box is narrower and the heel is narrower. Ugh!

Toe box and front of the sneaker was too wide - too much room. Trying to find a replacement ASICS sneaker for the GT 2000 9 . GT 2000 10 toe box too wide and sneakers squeaked!!
I have been wearing the GT 2000 series for several years. They should have left the design alone.

I was so excited about this sneaker. I have very long and skinny feet. I wear a 12 in almost every shoe that I own. I ordered this shoe in a 12 and it was too small! And I even found the heel to be extra narrow and pinched at the back of of my ankles. I will have to return. The ankle tightness could eventually stretch out but I’m maxed out on the shoe size. I’m so sad, I really wanted these to work out.

Unfortunately these hurt my feet! I tried these on in the store and thought they were comfy, but walking around a city all day proved otherwise. Bummer.

Much harder sole than previous versions of this shoe! For me they felt fine at first but then my whole foot ached after a mile. They take much longer to break in.

Great soles but the uppers were too tight on the size 13.

My previous gel kkayanos were great in size 12, these were too short, and the heel backing was too low, which caused blisters

I wear a 9.5 size shoe, but always size up to a 10 in my athletic shoes without a problem. When these arrived and I tried them on, my toes were touching the end of the shoe when I walked and it’s quite uncomfortable. Will be returning these.

Kind of heavier than I expected. I like the shoe but just felt as though it was heavier than most running shoes I've purchased.

I’ve already run in the model for 6 months and then re-ordered two more. But this round they are BOTH making the most annoying popping sound when I walk. I’ve tried everything to make it stop (even returned one pair and tried a new one - same thing)!!! Wondering if anyone else is having this issue. Definitely taking a break from ASICS after this because it’s just too annoying!

I absolutely LOVED the Kayano 27 version. I am super bummed that they changed them. I find them to be bulky and too much cushion on the top/tongue...they make my toes go numb and give me blisters. I wanted to love them, but I will be returning them.

These sneakers were just bad luck for me. The first pair I ordered was lost in transit, so Zappos had to send another pair out to me. I need sneakers with good arch support and the arch support of this shoe was excellent for me. Unfortunately, they had to be returned. First time I ordered my usual 8.5 M size, and the sneakers were too narrow. I exchanged them for an 8.5 W which were then too wide. I think these sneakers are for women with narrow feet. When I returned the second pair (8.5 M) there was also problems in transit which eventually was straightened out. The laces for the left sneaker were extra-long and the right sneaker was short. It's been extremely frustrating trying to find a pair of sneakers that fit me well. Thank goodness Zappos has easy returns and free shipping both ways. Now the hunt begins for another pair of sneakers. (Big Sigh!)

I have this exact same shoe in a different color, I decided to order this color and the left shoe hurts my foot.not sure why the same model wouldn't be consistent. I tried to return and exchange for a different pair and was told I was unable to do that.

I was surprised at how little support this shoe gave me. My foot rolled out, which is my natural tendency when barefoot.

This shoe has given me such a bad blister on the side of my heel, that I probably have to go to a doctor. No way is this a good shoe and it's SOOOOO expensive.

I loved my gel nimbus 23's these felt too large, with no support and a higher price tag.

I have worn ASICS running shoes for twenty years. I wear a narrow size, and ASICS is one of the few companies that still offers a narrow option. These shoes are not your usual quality. They are stiff and rub my toe. The usual cushioning is not there anymore. I am sorry that I did not send them back as I paid full price. I probably will go to a different brand next time.

I returned it. It made my feet getting blister at first walk. I had kayano 26 and it worked well. I think this one just narrow by design.

shoes not comfortable at all especially when running, it hurts my sole first week. I called the company to return it, but they said we are not granite to get your money back. It still hurt my feet every time I walk or run. I was surprised because this shoe is expensive and they spouse to be good.
