Review on Top-notch Performance with ASICS Women's Running Shoe by Mike Goodwin

I rarely write reviews. I'm new to ASICS. Used to introduce other brands. Need more arch support. I recently upgraded to the ASICS Gel Kayano 26 and I love it! I decided on a Kayano 27 because of the new color and thought the new model could be even better. Almost not! I had to send it back asap. First, the shoes are too big, I took size 9 (compared to the 26 model, size 9 fits perfectly). My usual shoe size is 8.5. I hate the flipped toe that makes it look like elf shoes. I didn't like the mesh fabric on top, doesn't look like it's more breathable. But most importantly, the arch and ball of foot support is nowhere near as good as the 26. So I'm buying more of the 26 now to stock up as unfortunately I can't rely on future models from ASICS to fit . Disappointing! After reading all the other reviews including other ASICS shoes I have reviewed it seems like they have been very inconsistent year after year. I think that's perhaps one of their biggest flaws. ASICS I HOPE YOU READ THIS. IF YOU MADE GREAT SHOES, WHY WOULD YOU USE IT WITH THEM? WHY NOT MORE FUN FLOWERS OFFERED? IF YOU ARE NOT COMPLETELY SURE, THE NEW "IMPROVED" VERSION OF THIS SHOE WILL BE A KNOCKOUT. DO YOU HAVE A TEAM THAT TESTS NEW VERSIONS BEFORE MASS PRODUCTION? IF YOU FIX THIS INCONSISTENCY, I HOPE TO BE YOUR FAN FOREVER! HOW I LOVE MY KAYANO 26 BUT I'M SORRY NOW TO BUY COLORS I DON'T LIKE AS MUCH AS OTHERS I PREFER ARE NOT AVAILABLE (FOR ME, SUITABILITY IS STOCK VS COLOR). PLEASE MAKE MORE KAYANO 26 IN A WIDE VARIETY OF COLORS!
