Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 Lite-Show

heal support is fantastic, only issue is it could use more cushion under the toe box

My shoe size has always been a solid 7. I completed the survey and was assured the size 7 would fit. That pair was too short. I ordered the 7.5. They fit exactly right.

Great shoes, they feel really sturdy and are bouncy to run in. The only problem is they are quite narrow and therefore for my feet were quite uncomfortable.

I love the Kayano. 10 years of running, 2000 miles a year, I've had 7-8 pairs. However, looks are important and I like a bright colourful shoe. One year you did bright Orange, last year there was a lovely bright yellow Kai, and my most recent are bright red. This year it's just a bunch of grey and blackness. Boring!

These trainers are supportive and have good absorption as well as being stylish.

I bought these because I was getting pain in my knees after running. After the first run with these there was very little pain. They are true to size.

Comfortable running shoe and really help with stability. Perfect for anyone training who needs supporting shoes.

The laces that come with the shoes are abnormally short like they are meant for a child's shoe!

Fits true to size. Recommend by podiatrist as the best ASICS shoe to wear with my orthotics.

Gel Kayano 27 - Great for overpronation - cushioning on side is so thick and really helps with stability of foot. Only downside is that I'm not confident they will last with the material as seems to fray easily and laces are thin/flimsy. Grip is not great in winter conditions.

An all round comfortable stability shoe, however one of the things I loved about thr Gel Kayano range was the wide to box, it seems that it has been narrowed in this shoe.

actually, I love the shoe, but the shoelaces have started to unravel. I need new shoelaces and have had them like 2 weeks :(

Very comfortable and true to size. Very stable show which gives excellent support.

Great support and stability. Already had a couple of long runs and had no issues, shoes feel light and responsive

Very lightweight and comfortable and air flows through to your feet.

Nice shoe, but the forefront area (if correct term; area of the arch) felt too tight and I felt it rub on the inner right arch area. I returned this Gel-Kayano 27 for the GT-2000 9. The GT- 2000 9 had more sufficient space in the arch area. The toe box in this Gel-Kayano 27 sized 10.5 wide seemed sufficient. I would prefer the Gel-Kayano 27 over the GT-2000 9 IF the forefront arch area was wider.

I love these shoes! Supper comfy & the green is actually shimmery! Downside? Oddly short laces...what's up with that? That's the only reason for the 4 stars in stead of 5.

Great shoe as always for comfort and cushion. Only thing the picture didn't represent the mint color in picture or description.

Very comfortable and supportive- one of best running shoes I've had but also good for casual wear

Best shoes to run in, especially if you get pain in your knees or ankles. I've ran my first half marathon in Kayano 24s. Since then the cushioning have improved a lot. They are much softer/bouncier than the predecessors. However I'm not quite sure on the stability part, maybe because they are super soft I feel like they are not as stable as they used to be. I also feel the tip of the shoe is lifted, not as flatter as it used to be. At times it looks as bulky as if I'm wearing timberlands. I loved the narrowness and flatness of Kayano 24s. Since then each year they've gotten wider and bulkier.

Love this shoe and the fit is perfect. Would love it in all colors especially red.

The trainers are such a delight to wear. My old pair had worn to the point where I suffer from Sciatica and plantar. I have been able to resume running with the gel Kayano and thought the pain is still there, the trainers are so well cushioned they absorb the impact of my heavy foootedness and overpronation. They are so worth it and I ordered a size 8 which fits perfectly. My only complaint, i started my hunt seraching for trainers with no laces...

Comfortable shoe seems to run a little bigger than other asics so buy 1/2size smaller.

Comfy trainers but they come up a little small due to how cushioned they are. I'm a size 6 and never struggle with accurate shoe sizing however I wish I'd gone for a 6.5
