Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27

I bought these in late July of last year and immediately fell in love. My first pair of Asics. I have foot issues and these have been a practical miracle. My only complaint is that they started to fall apart fairly quickly. I tear in the fabric on the part where your foot slides in, but on the side not the back. The first lining of the sole started coming off last month and the treads are really worn down. I don't know if this is normal wear within 4-5 months or not but I'm leery to buy another pair. I had hoped not to replace them before the normal 6 months. I talked to a shoe store employee and he said that's unusual for Asics. Anyways, I do recommend them.

Super supportive and comfortable. and looks good to boot. Already ordered a second pair.

Overall the Kayano series is consistent, my main point for improvement is the lacing system. It takes awhile to figure out how to lace them to optimize comfort.

Bought these shoes for my partner for Christ... he loves them. I noticed the stitching wasn't complete on left side of shoe so I super glued open seam to prevent further unraveling. Overall he enjoys his new ASICS.

This was my first pair of Asics. I have flat feet and have been searching for shoes that help with my arc support and these work great. My feet do not feel fatigue, as they have with other brands, after my brisk daily walks. The only negative thing I have is the price is a little high.

I bought this a month ago and to replace my 20th Anniversary addition. Much has improved and the cushion is lighter and the forefoot make a forward motion that had to get use to . I had ran with version 11, and 20th heavier than the flyform now being used.

These are good shoes but fit tighter than my previous Kayano's.

Really comfortable for run and cross training. I hope the tips stay in tact as my previous favorite ASICS ripped on top left top after 3 months of use.

I have been running in Asics for over 20 years. I like the stiff feel of the shoe. This new Kayan seems a bit tighter around the heel, but otherwise quite comfortable. If you like running in any of the other Asics shoes, this will not disappoint. Also, my teenage granddaughter loved the colors .

They fit a little long. The arch support is amazing and my feet, ankles, and knees feel well supported. I'm a treadmill runner so I still have not figured out my shin splint problem but I'm hoping these shoes slowly alleviate that pain. After 1 month, shin pain is still prevalent.

Absolutely love the color and feel. Only thing is would improve on is some more cushioning. Only because I'm heavier than most 250 lbs.

Took a while to get them broke in but after very comfortable

I am a mild over pronator and this shoes give me great support. Very comfortable, for me they ran a bit large, I went down to a 10.5 when I normally wear size 11. the inside of the front of the shoe needs to be reinforced, after two months of light walking and jogging they are starting to wear off and I can see a small hole in the the front upper mesh.

Excellent shoe, but ankle cushion lining wears rapidly

The interior sole fabric started coming apart/developed holes after only 2-3 wears. Comfortable otherwise.

The shoes are comfy and sturdy. Disappointed a bit in the color; online it looks a lighter blue---in person, it is a very deep navy, almost black.

Very comfortable, excellent workout shoe, great fit.

Just like previous ASICS running shoes I have used over the last decade, this pair fits very well and provides superb support for my feet. My previous pair of a different style wore out very quickly, so hopefully time will tell if this pair of shoes will live up to the high quality I've traditionally gotten from previous ASICS shoes (the last pair excepted).

I am a basketball referee and I use these shoes for that purpose. The 27s are not a good as the 26s, for me. I will be ordering another pair of the 26s for my upcoming season for sure.

A little heavier than I expected. Overall would recommend.

These shoes are as advertised. They are very comfortable and feel like the help spring your foot forward. However, both of my shoes have a very uncomfortable crease in the toe box that rubs on my big toes. I had the same issue with another pair I bought previous to these shoes.

I have been wearing kayanos for years and have enjoyed most all models. My personal favourite is 26. 27 is Very comfortable. I use tread lab insert for extra support and comfort. Only complaint I have is that it seems like they are getting narrower every year. I had 25 model with size 10 med, 26 model I got 2e, and on 27 model I had to get 4e. Not sure what 28 is gonna like. ASICS please keep in mind that not all your customers have narrow feet. Over all I like 27. Thank you ASICS for sending me free pair as replacement for warranty replacement.

This is a good medium support shoe. I have a bit of trouble with the stiffness in the middle/laces- takes me 2 or 3 times to get my shoes tied to a comfortable snugness but otherwise have really liked these for running.

Great shoe. I love them. Only complaint is the shoe creased at the toe and you can feel it. My wife's shoe did the same thing.
