The newest Kayano continues to be my stable go to shoe and the 27 continues to be familiar while still evolving. It's my favorite asphalt runner and the heel and mid foot comfort are the best features. It's the perfect balance of low weight while still remain a solid base that let you feel exactly what is happening between you and the road ahead

These might be the most comfortable running shoes I've ever owned! After 35 years of running, I think I have found the perfect marathon shoe for me!

I had moved to brooks due to my previous pair of kayanos not lasting very long, and weren't very durable. I began running more in lock down and began to get knee pain which has never bothered me before. Switched back and bought these kayano 27s and knee pain gone! They are super lightweight and allow for good speed! Really impressed with this shoe and won't be switching from kayanos ever again!

I bought these to replace my really old pair of the same shoe. The main difference for me was the shoelaces. Older pair had regular round laces. These are flat. So my brain just thought it was weird for a bit. But off course the reason I get these shoes is the fantastic cushion of the shoe. I use these only for running. I was able to put them on and go for a run with no problems and no hot spots.

I'm writing this review so I remember that I've tried the Gel-Kayano's (now and once in the past few years) ... and as much as they seem like a great stable shoe for overpronators, it turns out I need more a neutral shoe. If you pronate, and if you struggle to find a shoe that offers enough support, I highly recommend this shoe. I tried on the Mizuno Horizon stability shoe as well, and I could tell that the Gel-Kayano is so clearly designed for over-pronation that it's almost corrective in pivoting and supporting your ankle/heel. But, if you have a neutral foot/stride, it's going to feel really strange. Like everyone says, consider ordering "wide" - so the toe box has enough room, as Asics are typically more narrow than other running shoes. Lastly, I would say it's not the prettiest, so I took a star off for style.

Changed my life, total inner arch support and completely eradicates inward roll. Super comfortable and cushioned to run in.

Excellent shoe. Only lacks if you are severe overpronator with flat feet. But if you are that person, then you probably should not buy online without an evaluation, and also may need orthotics. If you have checked, this shoe is good!

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and great color. I have wide, chubby, relatively flat feet and these are the first pair of shoes in a long time that I haven't HAD to put a pair of arch supports in on order to be comfy. I have noticed I've killed the cushion in the stock insoles from all my standing so I'll have to replace those. I just hate that ASICS doesn't offer a bigger selection of Wide shoes. These are by far my fav and I'd get another pair but they're out of stock.

Asics have done it yet again. I have been using Kayanos since their 11th version. Incredible update from their previous one, mid sole feel more cushy and the ride more smoother.

Highly recommended - this is my third pair of the same make and brand of running shoe in 4 years. I am a marathon runner and have never had an injury since wearing these shoes in my races.

Excellent form for the foot as my partner has a problem with the stability in her ankle. Good information regarding delivery and arrived earlier than forecast. Would buy again. Very happy.

I bought these for myself as I have wide feet and the ladies were a little narrow for me. These are perfect. I also suffered with shin splints, since getting these I have felt more support and had no shin splits and been able to run 3 to 4 times a week and for a longer distance each time. That had never happened, so happy with these and would definitely recommend xx

I love gel Kayanos for running and just everyday hiking. Great trainer with full support for over pronation. However these came up a little narrow on me, so looking for a wider fit.

Super comfort. As a healthcare provider I work for more than 12 hours. I have to walk a lot. I will never regret my decision to try this shoes.

Supportive and comfortable for all day wear. I am not a runner but I am a nurse so I am on my feet all day. I have also suffered with plantar fasciitis so good support, and typically custom insoles, are critical. I am able to wear these shoes all day without the custom insoles. Now I do rotate shoes so only do this once or twice a week, but so far they have been working and supporting these tired feet beautifully.

I love these shoes! So comfortable from the first wearing. I can now walk on concrete floors for several hours a day without any pain. Also very supportive.
