Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27

Not as comfortable as the GEL-KAYANO 26 - pinches my baby toes

Like the shoe , but definitely not my favorite of the ASIC models . The mesh and rubber on front feels much harder and lest flexible in foot area. Not sure if it's the model or just the individual sneaker

Good sneaker but not nearly as comfortable as the 26 model i bought At the same time

I love the shoe except for the fact that I can see so much of the glue used on the back parts of both of the shoes that I will be returning them to hopefully receive a pair that doesn't show glue. If it does I think I'll just return them again and go elsewhere.

Light-weight and breathable as expected. What I don't like is the front toe area - it's not very pliable/stretchy, and it almost causes a hard crease that is not comfortable like the rest of the shoe. Happier with some of the prior versions of this shoe

Good shoes but too hardcore for me. if your new to running try something lighter, this shoe is for the hardcore runner looking to put miles on it, in my younger days of running 30-50 miles a week this would be my go to but now I'm just looking to put in 5-10 miles a week so a lighter shoe would be ideal for me.

This is my second pair and doesn't seem to last long before I wear them out. I walk and do not run anymore and I am wearing out my shoes in 3 months.

I've always used shoes from another brands for running, but thought I should give Asics a try. Not sure if it's this model specifically or the styles of shoes overall, but it feels too short and loose around the ankles, and that's giving me pain/cramps on the top muscles of the feetspecially when I do steep curves during running. The cushioning is great, but overall it hasn't been the best option to me.

Would love to see better color options for the price. My son has this style as recommended by PT. Maybe younger designers and deeper discounts.

Not as comfortable as the Kayano 25 and models before

These shoes are not as comfortable as i was hoping. I have a pair of the new gel nimbus and these shoes are not near as comfortable.

I've been a hard core fan of Asics Kayano size generation 19 - the shoe has always offered top notch stability and cushioning. Kayano 27 is not as stable as prior versions of the shoe. After I noticed that I looked at the foam on the medial side. The medial foam is softer than previous versions of the shoe. Please bring back the old Duomax foam - previous versions of the shoe felt stable and cushioned. This one feels cushioned but lacks stability.

I ordered 26s and 27s (GEL-KAYANO-4E) the same day. The 26 looks better and feels better.

When I first tried a Kayano, I was in love. Their 4E fit was perfect for my thick and flat feet. I had some of the best jogs in them and felt fine after long distances. This is the first time ever that a Kayano has given me the worst shin splints as they squeeze my feet. I use lock laces and have them on pretty loose but the shoe still squeezes me tight. They must have made them smaller this time. This really sucks because now I feel I can't trust the engineering anymore. I most likely won't go for the Kayano 28 and on and will probably just end up taking my bussiness to Saucony or something.

I really like this shoes and i have been a purchaser of Asics for the last 6 year. But the shoes already breaking down and there are tears on the seams of the shoes. I have no idea how but it 's already wearing down.

I like the sneakers because they're comfortable and nice. But one negative thing is I only had the sneakers for little over a month and the bottom is already worn down a lot and probably need to replace soon.

It's really light, but I don't feel it's good with individual with mild/flat feet.

The shoe isn't comfortable near the toe. The material is hard

Left doesn't match right. Ties that hold mesh to the sole pull near big toe when shoe flexes

Stopped counting how many versions of this shoe I've used. One of my favorite shoes on the market. They last seems to have narrowed over the years, but the fact that Asics builds these in extra wide widths is what brings me back. They seem to have solved the eyelet blow out issue from 26! That put me into Brooks until the 27 came out. One thing about the 27 is, the tongue is really narrow! Weird! When I tie my shoes I can see my socks sometimes. That's a first. Most Kayano devotes will be happy with shoe.
