I did not like this shoe at all. I thought it would be like the 26 but it was more narrow and not as comfortable.

I have loved the kayanos in the past, but I have had a lot of issues transitioning to this one. I don't like that the plastic on the toe of the shoe doesn't cover the whole front. It causes the fabric to sink in when you run. Also, the shoe can feel like I can't run straight and I feel like I am relearning to run. I was very disappointed that I can't seem to transition into this shoe very easily. I am not sure what you changed, but I am scared this shoe could hurt my knees. This is a very expensive shoe to want to consider buying something else because it could hurt my knees.

These shoes used to be my go-to shoes for my chronic plantar fasciitis. No more! The foot bed is hard and the shoe is stiff. No arch support either. Get New Balance. Far superior!

I had to add arch support and the heel is already wearing so over this brand. No matter how much you pay they do not last!

Not usual ASICS fit. Tried to wear several days but did not get any better. Bottom of arches felt bruised. Love the look though. Trying to return.

So disappointed in Asics but grateful that I purchased through Zappos with their amazing run guarantee. I bought and returned two pairs of Kayanos in Haze because the upper wore ridiculously fast within three weeks. I've been wearing Kayanos for 20 years and I've never experienced this. I loved the color (Haze) and the fit (the usual fits like a glove especially with my superfeet green orthotics) but TWICE the upper started falling apart near the ankle and by the big toe (both on the left shoe only oddly enough). I'm sending the second pair back today and am hoping another version of Asics is as supportive and comfortable until the Kayano 28 comes out.

I love ASICS shoes. The only ones that have great support . Except these Kayano 27 are horrible. They hurt my feet and I can't wear them.

I have been wearing Gel Kayano for many years. The Kayano 27 is an epic failure. They feel much tighter and narrower on my feet. Sadly, they are going back.

I don't know what has changed from the Gel-Kayano 26 to the Gel-Kayano 27. I ordered the 27 because of how comfortable the 26 were, but I literally can not wear these too painful

I ordered my usual size in Asics (835) and I couldn't even pull the shoe on. I was so excited to get these and they were just too small for me to even try on. Returned and will get a larger size.

So much padding that they do not have the same support as regular Kayanos. I was disappointed. Also, due to the extra padding, the laces are too short.

They kill my feet. They are too wide and clunky. I have worn ASICS for my entire adult life. Might change brands. Disappointed to say the least.

I'll be honest I bought these because they were a great deal! I've worn Kayano's for running for years now, and then usually wear them for work. This time I've treated myself to them straight off as a work show. Comfortable and cushioned - great for running but also every day comfort!

I purchased the Gel-Kayano 27 in a wide width in July 2021. The shoe is the best shoe for support and helps alleviate pain from plantar faciitis . This shoe is well worth the money. Attempt to grab another pair but sold out in my size. If you want a running shoe with great support at a great price then you should definitely grab this model

I really like them! I wear Asics all the time but never bought the Kayano 27s. The structure of the shoe is fantastic with the arch and back of foot support. I will be buying this type again.

I always buy the Gel-Kayano in the wide width - it's always a perfect fit. I never even look at another shoe or brand.

These fit me well. I got fitted after I had my third baby and this was the best shoe for me. I order a new pair every other year. I use for weight training, running, cardio, etc.

I only ever run in Kayanos, however I do not like the colors of the shoes as the vibrant colors never match anything. I like to walk in these shoes too so I need a shoe that matches my clothes. I LOVE the white on white sneakers and am praying for a restock or another, similar design. My last pair were white with yellow accents and those were awesome too.
