Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 MK

These shoes run on the smaller side. I would order a half size up to avoid pain. I ended up with a horrible blister.

The color was not what I expected it to be. I ended up returning because the I did not like the pink color. Please make more pink colors!

Acceptable; not fantastic, not terrible. Joint pain abated with new shoe

True to size. I read some comments saying to purchase shoes half size bigger and I disagree. The top of the shoe is wide and has more than enough space. My concern is with customer service. They should control how the delivery is handled and provide transparency to customers by showing proof (image, picture, etc) of delivery.

Sneaker fit too tight, had to return it and get another shoe and go up half size

The toe's fabric pinches in as you walk. I went a 1/2 size smaller, as suggested, and the shoes fit, but I don't like how the toes pinch in.

I really like Asics. But they make changes to their styles way too much. It's confusing. The newer Kayano's are all mesh. There's no longer a covering over the toe area. My shoes get dirty on the toe area & I could just wipe it down but now food & dirty just get into the mesh. The cushing around the ankle wears quicker.

I like the look and fit of the shoes but they don't seem like there is enough cushion on the bottom of the shoe for me. I have worn them twice and both times my feet and ankles were uncomfortable. I accidentally threw my box away so I don't think I can exchange them for a different shoe.

All my shoes are size 7.5. Running shoes, snow boots, sandals, everything. This shoe in a 7.5 is not long enough. The tip of my big toe presses uncomfortably against the toe of the shoe. I would size up to 8 except I'm afraid it would be too wide. The width of the 7.5 felt right, maybe a tad roomy. Disappointed.

Very light and no support. I have flat feet and issues with pronation. This one has no support. I liked Kayano 25 (D) and loved it.

I'm a die hard Nimbus fan for years. This shoe is good but still not as cushy as Nimbus.

I have worn Gel Kayano for many years only. They are always just what I need to avoid leg pain and back pain. However, this year my husband bought a pair for me on Mother's Day and the left shoe was a problem. This particular shoe that I am reviewing also had a left shoe that was a problem. I purchased a different pair in between these two snd they were fine. The left shoe on the two I mentioned above caused foot and leg pain. I keep trying to figure out why but cannot detect any differences except the left shoe may be a bit narrower. Not sure really but it's not the ASICS quality I'm use to.

I normally LOVE these shoes. I ordered my normal size, which is a 6.5, for some reason these ones seem much too large. They are hurting my feet when I walk more than a short distance. Asics are usually my favorite shoes. I was disappointed when they began to hurt.

the shoe for my right foot is tight. will mail it back to get a replacement. have had many pairs of kayano over the years without any problems so not sure why this pair didn't fit well.

Unfortunately they didn't fit my feet evenly. I don't know if they changed something about the design, but I have heel slippage on my right foot. Left one feels amazing.

I have bought many Asics products. I usually go with the Nimbus, but, thought I would try the Kayano's. This was a big mistake for me. Whenever I wear them my feet hurt for days afterwards. I rarely wear them, and, am not able to return at this point. I will stick with what make my feet happy, the Nimbus.

Pretty good but not a replacement for the discontinued Kayanos I bought two years ago. These feel less supportive and my arches start to ache but I am hoping to get used to them. I like the color though!

I have always purchased a 9.5 women's ASICS shoe. I read that this shoe runs large but went with the size of all my other ASICS that I have bought since I have always been happy with the size. They were .5" longer and .25" wider in the toe box than all of my other ASICS. So, I had to return them. The return process was well laid out on line and easy to follow. So that is why I am giving ASICS a 3 star.

Sturdy shoe, lightweight shoe, but not as comfortable as the last version

I have loved Asics for many years, but have had issues both last year and this year. My last year's had a hole in the toe box within a matter of weeks. Shoes still look new other than the hole. The 27's have a stiffener around the end of the toe that indented and now poke the end of my big toes on both shoes.

Just ok running shoes. I have a really high arch, so not the best shoes for me for longer runs.

I love ASICS Kayano's and live in them everyday. This particular style has a bit too much forgiveness in the toe box. A little too much give.

They are very wide at the front of the foot. My feet slide around

It runs narrow. But if I wear nylons and keep the laces very loose I am able to wear the sneakers. In the past I didn't have this problem with ASICS sneakers. So I am a bit disappointed.

A good shoe, but I don't love it as much as the gel kayano 26. The 26 had more stability for over pronation. These 27s I can feel my foot rolling in toward my big toe
