Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27

I preferred the previous addition as it was a bit wider in the toebox and the mesh upper in the previous edition also looked more sturdy.

The best runners for runners, great support for road running.

I walk 10k a day so they last me around 5 months after that the bounce goes out of them.

As a novice runner these are great to run in. I brought them to do couch to 5k and they have really helped me through the weeks and support me.

Good shoe, lots of room in toe box. When shoe wears in I do get some discomfort from tightness around ankle when running in extreme heat

This is not my favorite Gel-Kayano. I have had several pairs that i have really enjoyed and worn often. The shoes do no seem to be consistent in size and comfort as they used to be. I have another pair that is setting on the shelf because it is not that comfortable. I hope this won't be setting beside it making me feel badly that I bought it.

Kayano is comfortable and helpful for my running and training

This shoes are so light and comfortable, I can literally walk miles in them. Plan to purchase another pair

Soft upper, very comfortable. Available in half sizes. Light in weight.

Very disappointed I cannot take the insole out to put in my orthotic which I need for support.

I did a running/sole analysis a few years back, and have purchased the Kayano ever since. My only criticism (and why I am giving four stars) is that the shoe seems to deteriorate very quickly - some of the fabric at the ankle has worn already (I've had this pair for around 1 month). I would pay more if the quality was better - it feels wasteful throwing out a pair of shoes every few months. Keep in mind, I am hardly pounding the pavement in these; I wear these for walking, the odd run and to go to the gym.

Love this pair of shoes! Very light and soft. The only part I didn't like is the tongue. Not enough coverage for my little chubby toes

The first time I wore them, the were a little snug just below the toe area, but now that I have worn them quite a few times, they fit great. They are one of my favourite shoes, considering I walk 5-6 miles a day.

Perhaps not as deep in the heel, broader in the toe and softer sole as my old kayano 25 but have only used them sporadically during the last two weeks and if there is a difference it is small.

I picked these as a direct replacement for my gel-Kayano 19s and I am not disappointed! Great fit and comfortable, perfect for what I needed. It would have been 5 stars except the deliver took almost two weeks and I had no notification from Asics that there was an issue, I had to phone and ask. They said that the item had been packed and picked so should be out shortly, but it still took another few days to arrive. Communications need to be improved.

Expensive for what they are but they do look lovely. Always wear Kayano's

I have worn Asics since I started running 6 years ago. This is my first pair of Kayano running shoes having previously stuck with Dynaflyte. I found the Kayano provide good support particularly to the ankles and are well cushioned but somewhat heavier than the Dynaflyte. I think they are a good training shoe giving you support on those long training runs but will run my races in another par of Dynaflyte which are definitely lighter and faster to run in.

Very happy with my new ASICS, haven't worn them much yet so too soon to give a full rating

The shoes are a little tight. I always get the same style. But otherwise they are great

It is a great shoe; however, it does feel tight. Tried a bigger size and it was too big. Comes rather narrow. Overall, I would but it again. Have three pairs.

Nice looking Trainer I prefer black runners I like the Rose gold effect to give it a bit of oommph , great for running & comfortable
