These were purchased for a person with wide, flat feet. She really wanted to like them: they are vegan, she liked the style, and the cushioning felt good— but unfortunately they caused some foot pain. We tried two different sizes. One was uncomfortable on top of the foot, the other caused pain behind the toes. They were returned, which was easy thanks to Zappos great customer service.

I have worn ASICS Gel-Kayano’s for 8 years and the 27 is a total miss. The shoe has been redesigned and feels very flimsy on the top. The toe area feels smaller in the 27. This style doesn’t fit at all like the previous Kayano’s I’ve had and this is probably my 10th pair.

There is not enough cushioning under the ball of the foot. The arch support is not as good as I expected.

I had been looking for walking shoes that would support my high arches. After doing some research i decided to give Asics Gel-Kayano 27 a try. Well they fall short of my expectations. The most i can walk with them without discomfort is about a half hour. I'm going to try to find some shoe soles to see if that would help.

They are a bit narrow compared to the same style, same size, in different color I tried on in a store.
I have worn this specific shoe for years. First time I experienced this concern

Shoes strings are very short. I've worn ASICS for over 20 years with a new pair several times a year. These are ok but hard to double knot. I have narrow feet.

've worn this model of Asics sneakers for a decade and this is the first time the new model has not worked out in the same size 8 that i always order. It felt bigger in length and toe bed was not comfortable. The show however looks great. I wish it fit better.

At first didn't care for fit but tried them on another day and they will be okay but not totally in love with them but will give them a try. They just don't have the fit and feel like the others I have bought in past.

Totally thought they’d be more comfortable. Feels like no more comfortable than a $50 sneaker, but these were totally not $50.

I love these shoes but they wear quick. Expect only 300 miles. Great support and great fit.

Great style, but too short. Usually wear a 7 1/2 in Asics, but these were too short. Would definitely recommend going half-size larger.

I love this color and style. The only problem is that it isn't wide enough. I have purchased similar products in the same size, women's 12 wide, but for some reason, a crease has formed on the same spot in each shoe, resulting in blisters on both of my big toes. I work in the medical field, and there's a lot of walking for 8 to 10 hours a day. I'm using a shoe stretcher for now, which helps a bit

Please put the correct length shoe laces in the shoes!! This last pair's laces were so short, I had to remove the laces from my old pair to put in my new pair.

This sneaker does not have the same cushion in the ball of the foot as the 25 does.

I hope there's an option for wide on all the designs of your shoes/kayano for women. That would be awesome.
Thank you.

The shoe construction was good and they looked good. But, I have a flat foot, and my foot is not wide, just flat. My left foot in the arch area spilled over the side of the shoe and caused me arch pain in the left foot after walking around in the house about 10 minutes and it only got worse and started to hurt the right foot. I had to return them. Back to looking for shoes for flat feet.

I just received my shoes and they are mint green. Not only is the picture grey and white the color description doesn't have anything green about it. Super disappointed...luckily they are super comfortable so I might just keep them anyway.

I bought this to help with plantar fasciitis. It is very hard , and it actually makes my situation worse. Since I have worn it, my plantar Fasciitis has got worse. And on the left heel area, it feels uneven. It does not give me the feeling of walking on cloud , etc that was in the promotional video on the website. The only thing I like about is its stability and specially the wide area on the toe box that is roomy and comfortable , yet the design is nice enough to hide the wideness from outside. The pink or coral color should have been white. Do not use that color in your future products. I had to order this because the gray white was not available

They don't help with the pronation as much as I would hope, and they've slowed my time. It almost feels like they're dragging me down.

The toe box seems wide enough, however they have felt tight on my right forefoot despite this. So far, my feet have been painfree while running short distances, however it hurts when walking greater than 2 miles.
