I bought these to replace an older pair of Kayanos in the same size 8.5 as my old pair and my Normal running shoe size (1/2 size up from Normal) and these didn’t fit and were more narrow and didn’t have room in the toe box. The sole doesn’t extend out to edge of shoe so not only was it right in toe box but my foot was hanging over edge of the shoe due to mesh extending beyond the sole. Returned for a 8.5 wide as the length was perfect and was recommended by a reviewer though wide never works for me because I only need room in toe box nor other areas. It didn’t work out as the wide added more fabric and volume on top and not quite enough toe box room in the right places. Disappointed not to replace my worn out Kayanos

Great support and comfort. Would of liked for the top, back of the shoe to be a bit higher to support/protect the achilles tendons. Overall, pleased with the shoe.

I actually like the Kayano 26 better. More issues with toe room in the 27. I'm a fan of Kayano's in general. I've been wearing them for 5 years.

Great fit and comfortable, but not for flat-footed runners.

Bought these sneakers to aide my flat feet, however, wish there were a little bit more support in that area. This is a sleek and very stylish looking shoe for ASICS in the white. Feel fully cushioned and can wear them all day at the hospital.

These shoes are very comfortable and I love the style, but they ended up being slightly too small, so I had to return them. I also ended up not liking the color as much as I thought I would. I purchased the mako blue/pink combo. The colors are nice, I just didn't like them for me. I have two pairs of older asics in size 7, but these were a 7 and too small. I needed a 7.5.

Love the look and feel of my new ASICS! My one complaint is that the toe area has a indent so it's not a smooth line. Other than that I love them.

Love the colors and feel of this show. Very comfortable for running and I use them to play tennis sometimes, my only complaints is I have a narrow foot and I feel the front portion of the shoe is too wide.

I think they run a little small but overall good fit and very comfortable. Fun colors and design.

I got my normal size but wonder if 1/2 size up would have been better. They are still comfortable even on the first day.

I like them but just wish they had more bounce when I walk.

Beautiful looking running shoe, excellent bounce and still gives good stability. My only criticism would be that the toe box could be a little wider. Overall very pleased with my purchase

Great shoe. Nice to see forefoot cushioning making a return.

I bought these a few weeks ago, I've only been running 5 months and wanted full support and comfort and these 100% do the job, very comfy and give me so much ankle support as I have weak ankles, I found with my old cheap nike trainers hurt my feet while running but now my feet are well looked after! Would definitely purchase another pair in another colour!

They are a bit tight initially but loosened up after first run. But a positive, no knee pain after my runs any more!

I am flat footed and these shoes fit me well and are very comfortable. They are super light as far as weight goes. I did not realize the white fabric is a fairly tight-woven mesh, so any color on my socks shows slightly through the toe box area. It doesn't bother me though because I usually wear white socks and you do have to purposely look to notice the color showing.

The shoes is so light you are walking on air I could say I am a healthcare worker and it serves me well on 16 hour shift. The only thing is it's white and mine is already dirty on the tip of the shoes. Otherwise it's a thumbs up.

Good support and comfortable as other Kayano. This year's model has a much wider front footbed.

Great and modern design, however they didn't quite suit me as the mid part of the shoe felt unusually tight, but toe section was wide enough as expected. Pity as I like the way they look. I had to swap for Winterized to suit me.

The colour was quite a lot brighter upon delivery and my husband wasn't sure so ordered a different colour. The shoes themselves are lovely though and he said they are very comfortable.
