After working close to 13+ hours my feet would be throbbing. Now my feet dont hurt after a busy shift.

These are a great, supportive sneaker. I find that they cushion and absorb shock well, and I notice a difference in my knees when working out (cardio dance). I purchased my normal size, and found that they fit well. They felt a little snug on the first wear, but it didn't take much time to break them in. I would say if you fluctuate between two sizes, you may want to go with the bigger size.

As pictured. Great shoes for over pronaters like myself. Been using this brand of shoe for years and love the colour selection and fit of the shoe.
I'm usually a size 5 UK or 38.5-39 and ordered a size 40 euro.

Very nice looking shoe with wide toe box. I wear Brooks Ghost shoes also and these are not as cushioned as those. I haven't worn them much yet.

I'm normally a size 4, ordered size 4.5 but still far too tight. Lovely trainer but just made on the small side so have had to return!

Like walking on a cloud they are so comfortable.They have used great materials for the construction of these runners & I personally love the colours as well.
It's hard to imagine there are a pair for trainers more comfortable than these.

Shoe size is slightly smaller than Gel-Kayano 26. You better try them on before buying.

Great fit! Very comfortable! They can get a little tight around my heels after extended wear time.

Doesn't seem as supportive as the 26 kayano. Strangely

So far comfy and supportive. I have the gel kayano 26 and they are both very good

The 27s are so much better than the 26s. I'd give 5 stars for having the narrow width again - these are a bit too wide for me and I have to lace them super tight to get my foot to stop moving. Although they look a bit funny bunched up like that, they're comfortable to run in.

Super cute shoes, I have received a lot of compliments on them at work. My only complaint is the bottom of my left foot hurts pretty bad after a few hours wearing them. Never had that issue with a pair of shoes before. But still a nice pair of shoes.

I work in a COVID unit and I'm on my feet all day. This pair saved me from feet pain after my 12-hour shift. But I noticed that I had to get a size up compared to my usual size

Perfect for runners who want extra support! Super cushioned, a little heavy on the back but to be expected with support shoes. Love the design and colour - my favourite yet.

Great shoes. Looks like I need a wider toe box in my old age though.

Asics fit me better than other athletic shoes because I have a narrow heel and flattish arches. They provide great support and good looks. These are a little less stylish looking than other Asics I have, but they are solid support for when I have to be on my feet and need more structure. They fit me true to size and I recommend them.

I got a pair of the Gel Kayano's in white and I worried that they'd be overly firm and a bit wide and short like the 26's. I began wearing Kayano's all the time with the advent of the 20's. Those were the most amazing athletic shoes I have ever had and I've been trying to recreate the fit and feel of them with varying levels of success. The 23-24 versions of the Kayano didn't work for me and I took a break from them and wore the GT 2000's for a while. The 25's were good but on the hard side and the 26's were a bit more bouncy but they ran short. Enter the 27's. WOW. They are amazingly comfortable and the fit is great. Ive been able to fitness walk in them without wearing an orthotic. I have two issues with them though. I liked the white ones so much I ordered a pair in navy and they have a different fit and feel. They're a bit shorter and wider and they're firmer. The white ones run on the longer side and they are amazingly bouncy and fit like a glove--perhaps they run a little snug in the width but i have narrow feet and they're stretching out as I break them in. I'd give them a five if it wasn't for these two issues but I find the shoes very comfortable and supportive and I plan to buy more pairs of them.

fits nicely like a glove. the insole seems more supportive than the ones before. i like that. needs a larger toe guard to protect the front of the shoe. overall 4 out of 5 stars.

Would be nice to have a bit more gray/white on the top part of the shoe. Otherwise, very comfortable and stable.

So far comfortable and fit well for daily runs. They look a bit stubby on my small feet but that is less important. The laces are cool with some stretchiness in them

They're light. I like the way they look. Nice and narrow for me. Right amount of cushion.

I love running in these, they really helped lessen my shin/calf pain. The only thing that was disappointing is the inner ASICS decal began peeling off after wearing twice. Doesn't effect the performance obviously, but a little annoying for that to happen so quickly with sneakers at this price point

Toe box is extra wide. Its comfortable but not too appealing to view.
