The laces that come with the shoes are abnormally short like they are meant for a child's shoe!

Fits true to size. Recommend by podiatrist as the best ASICS shoe to wear with my orthotics.

Gel Kayano 27 - Great for overpronation - cushioning on side is so thick and really helps with stability of foot. Only downside is that I'm not confident they will last with the material as seems to fray easily and laces are thin/flimsy. Grip is not great in winter conditions.

An all round comfortable stability shoe, however one of the things I loved about thr Gel Kayano range was the wide to box, it seems that it has been narrowed in this shoe.

actually, I love the shoe, but the shoelaces have started to unravel. I need new shoelaces and have had them like 2 weeks :(

Nice shoe, but the forefront area (if correct term; area of the arch) felt too tight and I felt it rub on the inner right arch area. I returned this Gel-Kayano 27 for the GT-2000 9. The GT- 2000 9 had more sufficient space in the arch area. The toe box in this Gel-Kayano 27 sized 10.5 wide seemed sufficient. I would prefer the Gel-Kayano 27 over the GT-2000 9 IF the forefront arch area was wider.

I love these shoes! Supper comfy & the green is actually shimmery!
Downside? Oddly short laces...what's up with that? That's the only reason for the 4 stars in stead of 5.

Great shoe as always for comfort and cushion. Only thing the picture didn't represent the mint color in picture or description.

Best shoes to run in, especially if you get pain in your knees or ankles. I've ran my first half marathon in Kayano 24s. Since then the cushioning have improved a lot. They are much softer/bouncier than the predecessors. However I'm not quite sure on the stability part, maybe because they are super soft I feel like they are not as stable as they used to be. I also feel the tip of the shoe is lifted, not as flatter as it used to be. At times it looks as bulky as if I'm wearing timberlands. I loved the narrowness and flatness of Kayano 24s. Since then each year they've gotten wider and bulkier.

The trainers are such a delight to wear. My old pair had worn to the point where I suffer from Sciatica and plantar. I have been able to resume running with the gel Kayano and thought the pain is still there, the trainers are so well cushioned they absorb the impact of my heavy foootedness and overpronation. They are so worth it and I ordered a size 8 which fits perfectly. My only complaint, i started my hunt seraching for trainers with no laces...

Great arch support and great rear foot stability. These 2 reasons are why I continue to wear ASICS. The materials used for the exterior fabric is somewhat flimsy but I will have to wait and see on that fabric durability.

Comfortable shoe seems to run a little bigger than other asics so buy 1/2size smaller.

Comfy trainers but they come up a little small due to how cushioned they are. I'm a size 6 and never struggle with accurate shoe sizing however I wish I'd gone for a 6.5

I go back and forth with the Kayano. I also wear Brooks Adrenaline and mix it up a bit. The Asics cost more but last longer. The Brooks are less, wear out faster, but they have a much better selection of colors.
I just had surgery and probably won't be able to run again for a few months, but I'm starting to buy the year's shoes now and the grey black in this 27 is one I really love and the 27 is a good Kayano fit for me this year!. I would like the toe covered with more sole material like it used to be for the rain and snow, so I still need to see how these do in those elements. Asics, at least in the past, have always done loads better than Brooks in wet conditions!. We'll see how the Kayano 27, which appears to have less protection rising up toward the toes, does.

I bought these trainers a few weeks ago as i aim to continue running while working from home. I read all the previous reviews before purchasing. I'm a UK size 4, but bought a size 5 and my toes are nearly touching the end, so would recommend going a size up when buying. The trainers are very soft inside and lightweight when running. It's taken me a few weeks to get comfortable running in them, but overall no complaints and thankfully no new pains in my legs or feet.

Slightly snugger fit than previous models, good cushioning as always.
Hopefully they'll relax a little over a few more k

Very comfortable shoes and they look really nice. I wear these shoes for work 40+ hrs a week and I couldn't be happier.

I'm a size 9 UK ladies and went for a half size up in these.
Toe box is roomy (good for me) and you'll need thick socks as the toe box has thin material at toe which lets a lot of cool air in (maybe not so good for winter outdoor training!).
Says this shoe is good for Pronators but couldn't feel any difference in arch support (bought some inner soles which fit nicely though).
