Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27

I have found these trainers very narrow and therefore not as comfortable as previous Kayano trainers.

I bought these sneakers previously and they were fantastic - the "26". Now they hardly have any cushioning and so I am returning them. Disappointed.

Beutiful design but they are very narrow for my feet.

Seem a little better than the 26's as they were garbage we will see over time how they wear

Horribly uncomfortable exercising in these shoes. Extremely hard on my arches

Too wide around the toe area. I've been getting these shoes for years and I don't care for the 27. I prefer the style and fit of previous models.

The 27's are much wider in the toe box than the 26's and make my size 10 feet look really big! The previously purchased kayono's had a slimmer look to them possibly due to side and top detail. Sadly, the 27's are going back.

The shoe has nice features but simply did not fit. I own 3 pairs of version 26 of this shoe which fit perfectly and are very comfortable. The version 27 that I received was both too long and too wide in the heel. Either Asics has changed the fit, or a size 9 shoe was incorrectly marked as an 8.5. Unfortunately, I had to return the shoes.

Cheap looking runner not worth the money. Have bought ASICS for more years than I can remember. Fantastic brand.

Much larger than any running shoe of the same size. Doesnt hold shape- dents/ripples in the toe after week 1

I love these shoes and I've been running in them since 2009. However, this time around I am not happy with the fact that the left shoe does not feel the same as the right. My left big toe feels like there is a bump in the foot insert and I thought it would go away after I broke them in and it didn't. Wish I could return them for a new pair.

They feel like they were made for wider feet. I've wore kayanos for over a decade and these are not the best fit.

Not very comfortable to wear all day. My feet start to hurt very shortly after putting them on and after several hours my feet feel raw.

The sizing is not true, my current Asics are the same size as I ordered, but the shoes were too small to get my feet in. My feet have not grown!

The new design made my feet look very wide because of extra material on the sides. The heel cushion is very soft, making it extremely hard to get the back of the shoe on properly. I managed to find a pair of 25s, and sent the 27s back.

I prefer the Gel-Kayano 26 it has more spring to it then the 27. Unfortunately it has been discontinued.

I bought these as I read they were good for Over pronation, which I need maximum support for. I went up half a size but I wish I went up a whole size , they are a small fit length wise. One of the laces pulled within 2 weeks, very poor quality . Since running with these my knee started to hurt . I decided to keep wearing to break them in , however I found my feet aching really bad after running in these. Very little ankle support which I was shocked at . Overall I am so disappointed, I was expecting a really supportive trainer but I can't say I've had that . I previously used Nike Zoom structure & I wish I had bought a new pair of them instead. I did yesterday run in the shoes again as I had a break from using them for a week & went back to my Nike's but within 15 minutes in my ASICS I could feel my knee getting sore. I was expecting huge things for this price tag :(

The shoes seem comfortable, if they fit! In my opinion this model runs too small (maybe one or 1& half size.
