Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27

Do not buy. These trainers are absolutely shocking quality and straight away when you wear them they dig into your big toe causing lots of pain

I purchased this same shoe twice but both sides of the toe box caved in on top, rubbing on the tops of my toes. I thought initially it was a defect with my specific pair but it is clearly an issue with this model. I have worn the Gel-Kayano for 15+ years and am very disappointed. However, ASICS customer service has been wonderful fixing all of the issues related to this so I'm excited to try a different model.

I haven't got them yet and I can't contact anyone about it

I love my Asics! I have been buying them for several years and especially now during COVID, knowing what works well for me saves me from going to the store and allows me to order by the internet.

UK CUSTOMERS BEWARE! - Do not attempt to spend any money with this company, they will take your money and not ship your items. I have tried to contact them numerous times but have been ignored ever since my order was placed and now they finally respond by asking for a review.... How about you tell me why you are not sending my order out instead of asking for a review.......

The back of the shoe is too short it feels like your foot is coming out. I liked the Kayono gel 25

Don't buy from Asics. Buy from another shop. Not direct. Nothing but issues and terrible service

I am trying to return it and have been unable to do so - can you help me?

The trainers came with defects and marks on both trainers. Very poor quality, not happy at all especially for the astronomical price! Will be returning them.

My experience is very bad because Asics sent me a pair of already worn shoes.

Bought this new Kayano. I have been wearing Asics for many years. Will not buy anymore. They have taken away the coating on the front of the shoe so they look dirty. Also, I believe the shoe tongue is longer than in my older Asics. Looks like they are trying to save money but have made a poor product.

The trainer lace hole is ripped the third time I used them. I have contacted ASICS and awaiting a response.

This is the most I'll fitted and uncomfortable shoe I have ever bought from ASICS. They are all I purchase. I teach and I'm on my feet all day. This generation of kayano's makes my feet hurt and they stay sore from daily wear. They are not worth your money. Try a different shoe.

These are totally different from the gel-kayano 25.. these hurt my feet!

I have had these for barely a week. They are the worst fitted shoe I have ever purchased from Asics and they are all I buy. As a teacher I stand all day and walk miles a day. My feet are so sore after wearing this shoe. It is the worst I have ever purchased.

I have been a loyal Asics customer wearing Kayanos for more than twenty years. This is the worst Kayano I have ever worn. They caused a great deal of pain and I was left with bruised toenails, one of which fell off as a result of one run in these shoes. They are very stiff and tight in the toe box. They make my feet slide forward, so going up a size is not appropriate. It is simply the poor manner in which they are designed. Very disappointed.

A great training shoe, sturdy yet comfortable. I would buy again

Poor service you got Ask for the size 8 but given me size 9

Loved the colors and look of this shoe but way too narrow. Ordered a wide and they are still too narrow

Just bought these recently- have been a runner for years- but as soon as i wore these i experienced knee pain like never before- wore these for 2 weeks and knee pain just got progressively worse

I had to return this shoe. They were too tight in the toe bed for me and I even ordered up 1/2 size hoping they would work but just not a good fit. I do not have a wide foot but do like my toes to have "room" in my walking shoes, which they did hot have in this shoes. I have worn Asics for years and have always worn sz 6.5 but last couple pairs I have tried seem to be running about 1/2 sz smaller than normal.

These are the worst wearing sneakers ever!!! I had them for 1 month and the inner top rim is rubbing out. This was a replacement sneaker and is NO better. I have worn the Gel Kayano for years and never had this issue. They need to change their manufacturer. I love the comfort of the sneaker but I can NOT wear them looking like they're old and worn out.

I'm a nurse and I bought these because my feet were starting to hurt with my previous shoes. These hurt even worse! I've been wearing them for a couple of weeks thinking it'll get better but they just don't. I will have to stop wearing them already and it's not ideal for the amount of money they cost. I don't recommend for someone on their feet for long hours.
