Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 MK

Not a comfortable shoe -

I so wanted to love these shoes. They were my birthday present. I didn't even purchase for running. I purchased for aerobics in my home, however the second time I worked out in them half of my right foot went numb and it was a horrible experience. Also the box was very narrow even for a wide. Asics really messed up with this version.

So disappointed! The toe box is "tight"! For some reason, Asics has been running narrow for the last few seasons. They looked great but just too tight overall. I returned them.

Wide size was still too narrow. My foot is not especially wide, but I like lots of room in the front so I usually order a wide. This felt narrower than a regular width.

The shoe was consistent in size and comfort but instead of the sides having the plastic decor sewn in Asics used stickers for the design. In Chicago the shoes would not survive with sticker design.

I bought these sneakers in October and was really excited about them. However, within 6 weeks of pretty light wear (walking/jogging outside a few days a week, running errands, etc), the bridge tore and there's a small hole in the fabric. The bone in my foot does stick out a bit and I've had similar things happen with cheaper quality shoes. But I'm disappointed that these Asics sneakers ripped and didn't have more stretch in them to allow for friction and movement. I've worn Asics sneakers for a while and this is the first time it has happened, so it might be a fault of this specific design. But still, disappointing.

I was looking for shoe with a sturdy, inflexible sole at the forefront due to a previous foot injury. These were too flexible at the ball of the foot for my needs. They're going to have to go back.

These were purchased for a person with wide, flat feet. She really wanted to like them: they are vegan, she liked the style, and the cushioning felt good— but unfortunately they caused some foot pain. We tried two different sizes. One was uncomfortable on top of the foot, the other caused pain behind the toes. They were returned, which was easy thanks to Zappos great customer service.

I have worn ASICS Gel-Kayano’s for 8 years and the 27 is a total miss. The shoe has been redesigned and feels very flimsy on the top. The toe area feels smaller in the 27. This style doesn’t fit at all like the previous Kayano’s I’ve had and this is probably my 10th pair.

There is not enough cushioning under the ball of the foot. The arch support is not as good as I expected.

've worn this model of Asics sneakers for a decade and this is the first time the new model has not worked out in the same size 8 that i always order. It felt bigger in length and toe bed was not comfortable. The show however looks great. I wish it fit better.
