Gel Kayano 27 is really good. They make your long runs quite smooth and stable. Makes a good running partner.

Great shoe with lots of stability. Had to return my normal 8.5 for a 9.5 because of how small they were. Definitely need to size up due to the heavy padding around the heel of the shoe.

I have run in ASICS for many years now and wouldn't change that for any other brand. Even as a pronator, I only recently started running in the Kayano. As a flat footed runner these really do give me that extra bit of control that I require upon striking the ground. This edition does feel a little more "snug" than previous models but does seem to have more cushioning that previous. Overall its a very comfortable shoe and offers a nice smooth ride. After running in another model for the best part of 10 years it is always going to take time to transfer across to a new shoe style, definitely give this a go if you have flat feet like me.

The last three pairs of running shoes I've had have been the Asics Kayanos, always 8.5 normal width. As an overpronator with sensitive knees, these shoes have always done me right. This time an 8.5 normal width felt really uncomfortable, too narrow and too small, even though the Gel-Kayano 25 in the same size&width fit great just moments before. Despite feeling too small, my heel was also slipping out just walking around my house. The fit is just off. I decided to just go with a different shoe and return these.

For 15 years or more, I have always bought size 9 Gel Kayanos and they have fit perfectly and been the most cushioning comfortable and durable running shoe I have ever had. Unfortunately, the GK 27 is too narrow up front and without wide or half sizes, like 9 1/2, I am afraid I can't get a good fit. My old size 9 Gel Kayano 25s still fit, so I think the tightness of the GK 27 is because the sizing of the 27 has changed. How do I get a GK shoe to fit me now? I don't want to abandon Asics shoes because I believe they are the best but I may have no choice. My fit issue is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

The Gel Kayano 27 are super comfy. I have purchased many of ASICS over the years (they fit my feet perfectly). I would give them 5 stars if they would reinforce the big toe area more fully. It's the only flaw because my big toes go up when I walk or run and I always get a hole in the toes after a couple weeks. Other then that. I would buy them again. But PLEASE REINFORCE THE TOE AREA!

They took several weeks to come. Shoes are great, though.

Great support on first run but feel the sole under ball of feet feels very thin compared to the back, like some cushioning is missing. Middle and back is extremely comfortable and supportive, shame doesn't go throughout.

Used these to run for the first time last week. Very impressed - they have a lot of grip so it made running seem easier. I would recommend for anyone wanting a trusted running shoe

I love this shoe, been running in them for years! But what's up with the short shoe laces?? I can barely tie them, and with a thicker sock I will be in trouble. Did I get the kids laces?? Aspics, please send me new laces!

Good support and reasonably light
Maybe a bit tight on the toes compared to previous models

So far, they are comfortable and feel good on my feet. I have had less than a month- so therefore I did not want to give them a 5 until I use them longer.

Excellent stability trainer that has helped me stay injury free for years. Price is the only element that prevents me from awarding 5 stars.

I've been buying ASICS for the past few years and I'm never disappointed! These are just as good as previous ones as they have the gel forefront and heel so are very comfortable!

I love these trainers! Feels so soft yet stable my runs are so much more enjoyable and not as injury prone (I used to get shin splints fairly often)
