More room in the toe box. The heel is a little loose, getting sone heel rub. Trying to make adjustments.

The sneaker looks nice, though I'm unable to run in them because of the size of the toe cage with orthotics, they are too tight.

My new kayano's make me feel like I'm walking on cushion and sitting up high.

Arch support is good. The shoe runs big. I have been wearing ASICS for several years in size 9, but in this shoe, I actually need a smaller size. Unfortunately, I wore it outside for walking and therefore return it. It is too wide and too long.

These shoes are comfortable and good quality. They have a LOT of cushioning though and took some getting used to. They seem higher/more cushion in the heel part of the shoe and it affected my calf muscles because of the high amount of cushioning.

Not my favorite Kayano, I have always gotten the support I need with this style of Asics but this time I feel that there is very little support for my pronation.

I have been wearing the Gel-Kayano for over 10 years. I was advised at a running store that this was the best shoe for me because I have collapsing arches when I run. I have tried other shoes over the years, but I always end up coming back to the Gel-Kayano. The 29 offers the arch support I need. It is a light-weight shoe, which makes it comfortable for long distance running. I am a 7M in regular shoes, but I size up to a size 8W in the Gel-Kayano. I have to admit the toe box seems a little shorter than earlier versions, so I could have gone up to a 8.5W. But I have decided to keep these and see how they stretch with more runs.

They were not as wide as I'm used too. They took a while to break in.

The shoe is extremely comfortable and cushiony. My only complaint is the mesh above the toe is not very durable

It's been a while since I ordered new shoes. I've always ordered the same size in the Gel-Kayano series. These fit a little tighter than the previous models in the series. That works for me since I had a little wiggle room in the past, but this may not work for others.

I am finding these not comfortable right out of the box as previous versions have been. The collar around the ankle is thicker and not necessarily more comfortable (rubs). The shoelaces are also elastic and way too long. (Running shoelaces should never stretch) The shoelaces on the Gel-Kayano 27 were perfect. Elastic shoelaces need to go away.

The toe box feels bigger and less stable. My foot moves around way too much. Prefer the toe box on the 28.

I was trying to find a replacement for my Contend 7 workout shoes, and these were pretty close. They are comfortable, light, supportive, attractive, and fit as expected (usually wear 6 to 6.5. Last ASICS were 6.5 so I got the same and they fit great). I marked them down 1 star as I’m not keen on the new tight, stretchy “no tongue” opening. A little more difficult to get on, but maybe it will get easier over time.

It is such a great walk in these shoes. My feet felt like very comfortable and pain free after a long day.

I love the Kayanos. Been buying them for over ten years!! That said, in the past few years the width has been too large. But this years' the width is even bigger that last year. My foot sometimes slides around and I'm afraid it may not be stable. I love the arch support however.

Lots of cushion in the sole. The only negative is the shoe is a little snug at the heel and toe. Feels fine for the first day but developed blisters with extended use. This will resolve in time but limits use in the first few weeks.

Great shoe that works well for 12 hr shift nurses. My daughter has a pair & requested another color for Xmas. Only problem is the new pair was too short. She has always worn 7 1/2 in ASICS & this particular style. Will return them & order 1/2 size up.

had to return because the fit was smaller than what I am used to with Asics Gel Kayano 23. I kept the Gel Venture 9 ones hat fit much better.

These, unfortunately fit quite different than the gel kayano shoes I have purchased in the past. I have worn this style for years to hep with planters faciitis, but these do not fit the same. They seem to be bigger in the toe area and are not as comfortable. I'm a tad disappointed.
