Very comfortable and supportive. I have narrow feet and the medium width fits well in the heel and arch. It has nice padding for my bony feet. The toe area is very roomy and probably more than I need width wise but not a problem. Ordered half size larger than I normally wear.

Asics Gel-Kayano 27 is a decent looking, comfortable, and reasonably supportive sneaker offering stability, but the pair I received had a defect -- the toe box of one shoe was puckered and sort of crushed,so I had to return them.

This shoe feels a half-size small and is slightly narrow. I went up a half size and it seems to be fine. I haven’t worn these yet. GEL-Kayanos really help with my plantar fasciitis and pronation. It’s worth finding a pair that fits. Zappos’ excellent customer service, fast shipping and return policy make it easy.

Love the look but they dug into the inside of my ankle.
Great support!

I’ve been running in Kayanos for almost 15 years. My feet love them! This pair...not so much. The toe box on these runs very narrow. I have pretty narrow feet, but am still developing a very serious and painful callus on my right big toe. It’s the worst. The 26’s were great. I wish you could be guaranteed that every new model would take care of your feet as well as it’s predecessor! Here’s to hoping the next version is a better fit!

Design and comfort are great! Quality is also very good, a minus would be that the color is light and therefore getting.

Generally very comfortable shoes. I do Orangetheory 3-4 times per week, and replace these shoes every 4-6 months to avoid plantar fasciitis or shin splints. For some reason this pair hasn't been kind to my soles from the get go, but I've had great success with my Gel Kayanos in the past!

I have purchased the Kayano 4 times in the past and was very pleased with them but this time the Kayono 27 was a whole size too large. There was more than an inch in front of my toe. I returned for a half size smaller, but that too had plenty of room in front of the toe. The return was easy but I decided not to do it again and will keep these. They seem to be fine for walking on the treadmill. Plenty of room in the front of the arch. The heel fits fine.

I ove the look, shoe felt pretty good - just one problem with one shoe - - it gapped a lot at the toe and looks odd. I know it's my toe's issue, but nevertheless, I'm returning it. I may just give up wearing shoes completely!

ASICS is a great brand, expecially for over pronated feet. I liked this sneaker but I could not tell the accurate color of this one, so I ordered and hoped for the best. The grey is so light and silvery it looks almost blue. So, I returned it only because of the color and I ordered a different one.

Nice and supportive and light. One concern is that it feels like my heel could slide out of the sneakers easily. Did not notice while running but definitely an adjustment and noticed while walking around.

I got these for walking. They're my second pair, great padding, but make my feet look like huge flounders. Next time I'll get two toned trainers, which make the feet look smaller. Also, the shoe laces are shorter this time. Good way to save money but charge more?

Really love these shoes. Glad they made wide as they are narrow. Wish the silver, grey, speckled ones were wide as I loved the look of those.

Typical ASICS fit. Gorgeous color. But a bit too much stability for my knees, the Gel Nimbus (with more neutral cushioning) Sis a better choice for me.

I purchased two colors of the ASICS GEL - Kayano 27 shoes. The first pair I purchased was grey and they fit great and felt great... true to size and width. I was so happy because it is very difficult to find shoes in my size (women's size 13) However, when I received the black and pure silver pair in the same shoe, it was narrower. I was disappointed that the fit was not uniform in both colors. I may try again.

Great shoe, just wish the toe box were wider. They're really comfortable for the most part by my toes feel squished in terms of width. A wider shoe wouldn't help because my feet are narrow. The tow box of the Gel Keyano Lite is perfect.

I wear kayanos by ASICS in a 7 1/2 . This particular pair seemed a little smaller than my other ones, not enough to send back though. Overall a great shoe with great arch support.

I love these shoes, the fit is unbelievable. I love the different colors of shoes these days and this one really caught my eye. When I got it, I realized that all the white on the front will get dirty very easily. I could find nothing to say anything about easy cleaning. Very disappointed so I sent this beautiful color back.

These are as comfortable as previous versions, however, the right shoe was slightly bigger than the left - I've not had this issue with my 4 previous pairs of Kayanos. It could have been a fluke for this specific pair. I would have tried another pair in this model, but my size was sold out, so I 'm going to try the GT-2000

Love the style, comfort and fit of the shoe, however I do agree with others that the shoe strings are too short. Barely can get them tied into a small bow .Other than that I would give it 5 stars .
