Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 MK

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.

The insoles pressed into my heel causing lasting pain. These shoes are essentially unwearable.

These shoes are too stiff and they do not have enough cushion. They are narrow compared to other ASICS I have. Wish I could return but I already took tag off and tried to break them in.

They squeak really loudly even after breaking them in.

loved the color but...These are so overpriced and irritating. There is minimal padding around laces which makes it very difficult to get tied comfortably. Where is the gel in forefoot of the shoe? Can you please go back to doing what ASICS was known for? GEL COMFORT!

I have been buying this particular shoe for many years. My physical therapist reccomended it for the way I walk. I am dissapointed about this pair of shoes. The toe box stitching is buckling and folding in the shoe. I am very sensitive in my toe areas as I have had surgery on my toes. This frankly hurts my toes. I suggest your company take care in the manufacture of the materials in the toe box.

I have always worn ASICS for running and walking to walk. Despite spending more on trainers than ever I am finding that the last two of Gel Kayano ( and the cheaper Gel Cumulus) just do not last, the material on top of the trainers fray very easily. I still have 3 old pairs of Asics that I do not use for sport but just in the garden etc and the material is so much better ( and I wasn't spending as much money on trainers 5 years ago!). I'm afraid I just wouldn't buy another pair of ASICS until this is remedied.

Too tight in the toes. Felt like my feet were in a vise grip. Very narrow for a regular width. Have worn the Kayano before, but these got sent back.
