Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 MK

I've had this shoe in the standard width and loved it for a couple years now, but it's a littler narrow for my wide forefoot. I was so excited to find the wide (D) version, but I'm a little disappointed. It's still a great shoe with great support (I have plantar fasciitis and knee pain from over pronation), but it doesn't feel or look any wider than the standard width. If anything, it's a bit longer not wider. I could have saved myself the headache and just sized up from an 8.5 to a 9. Live and learn.

I'm pretty in love with these shoes. This is my 4th or 5th pair. The only negative I can think of is.1 they wear down relatively quick. They're like a cloud of glory when you first get them but that cloud starts to flatten out just a touch after the first couple of weeks if you wear them constantly and then by month 3 or 4 I feel like they're done and I need a new pair. I just bought 2 sets so I can have one for wearing every day and 1 set just for working out. The other bummer is that the colors get INSANE and it's hard to pick something I'm not embarrassed to wear in public. The rose gold ones got complements DAILY no joke. People would stop and ask me where I got my kicks all the time. Once they discontinued those it's been harder to find more neutral colors. Thankful for these pink and gray which are pretty neutral and nice looking.

Very good show. A bit narrow and the tongue are also a bit narrow.

The shoe is great for running but not cute at all. I wish there were more color options.

I love these shoes and now have two pair. They are very good walking and just wearing inside doing normal chores. They are very comfortable too. However after two months, the tip wore through from my toe, and now there is a hole on top. Other than this, they are great!

Nice and cushy - good for pronaters. My 4th pair! I tend to rip through the toe after a year but by then they need replacing anyways!

These are very cushy and comfortable. The only disappointment I have is that although they are wide width, they are a little snug still. It's the width I usually get with another brand so I naturally thought they would fit the same way.

The shoe is comfortable, light and fresh, but I notice that it needs more reinforcement at the toe. I'm happy anyway

This is a great fitting shoe. My only concern is buying it online and it came with a small dent it rubs on a toe. It's probably best to buy these in the store and try them on.

Very comfortable shoes, but I wish the mesh were a little stronger so it doesn't get poked through.

I bought this same shoe last year, but this new pair feels wider in the toe box. I've double checked that I ordered the same size and width. Also compared shoe to shoe and this one is a little wider. It still works, but a little less snug in the front.

The shoe is very comfortable. The shoe fits very naturally to my foot. I was surprised, that I didn't have to break the shoe in during my first run.

This shoe was not for me, and ran a little big. I still believe it's probably a good shoe. I under pronate. It didn't feel right in the arch for me.

Great shoes for those who stand on their feet 12 hours at a time. This nurse won't wear anything else for work. True to size, though this version of this shoe is a little narrow. The only reason I didn't mark a 5

The shoe is comfortable in fit but not as giving in the foot bed

The Gel Kayano 27 are super comfortable shoes, which pretty much any ASIC shoe I have had no problems. ASIC shoes last you for a long time, super durable, comfortable & are stylish. The only thing I am not a fan of is the tongue of the shoe. For instance the tongue is a little big, the laces don't really hold them in place & the tongue just keeps moving around that is the only downfall however as I have said it does not bring down the quality of the shoe because it is still a excellent shoe that is just my preference.

This would be a 5 star except the sizing seemed a little off. I have always worn 6 1/2 M in this shoe but this pair seemed a little longer. They are fine though, I just needed to adjust the lacing. Great cushioning and support. My favorite running shoe ( and I've tried many)!

They are fine. I wouldnt mind if they were heavier to give me a little more support.

These shoes give good support to my feet at my job, or anywhere.

This was definitely a switch from my normal running shoes, which seem to have had a lot more bounce. I've ended up liking these anyway, but would prefer a but more cushion. I love how light they are.

Beautiful shoe. I've worn ASICS forever and this style as well. However this particular one was super tie in the tie bed. Relaxed them completely and that seemed to help a bit.

Great consistent shoes. Customer service is excellent!

I need a shoe to support my overpronation. This was better but still not enough. more support on the inner side of the shoe would be great. I could see what was there would breakdown fairly fast.

The sole of this shoe is perfect to support someone who walks or runs a lot. It provides nice cushion from the shocks and a nice lift on the forward steps. Like this model a lot! The pricing could be lowered for better affordability.

Great cushion for high impact ! Lightweight and comfortable
