Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 Lite-Show

Sturdy shoe, lightweight shoe, but not as comfortable as the last version

I have loved Asics for many years, but have had issues both last year and this year. My last year's had a hole in the toe box within a matter of weeks. Shoes still look new other than the hole. The 27's have a stiffener around the end of the toe that indented and now poke the end of my big toes on both shoes.

Just ok running shoes. I have a really high arch, so not the best shoes for me for longer runs.

I love ASICS Kayano's and live in them everyday. This particular style has a bit too much forgiveness in the toe box. A little too much give.

They are very wide at the front of the foot. My feet slide around

It runs narrow. But if I wear nylons and keep the laces very loose I am able to wear the sneakers. In the past I didn't have this problem with ASICS sneakers. So I am a bit disappointed.

A good shoe, but I don't love it as much as the gel kayano 26. The 26 had more stability for over pronation. These 27s I can feel my foot rolling in toward my big toe

I have been buying Kayanos for almost 10 yrs. But the 27s just don't have the same or better gel comfort that the 24-26s did.

Comfortable sneakers the only complaint is after few months material of the sneaker is made from wears causing holes. This is my second pair in less than a year wish material was more sustainable!

These use to be my favorite running shoes. Something with the foam changed and not for the better. I feel the ankle support is fantastic but everything else about them is stiff and with very little cushion.

Like the cushion in the shoes but they made my feet hurt.

I have worn Asics Gel-Kayano for years. It's so comforting to just re-order the new version of a shoe and know that it will work for you. Asics has toyed with and thus "messed up" its fit (and lost some of its following) before but I thought they'd learned their lesson a few years back; maybe not. My forever Gel-Kayano size has been a 9 and this year when it arrived, it was huge; absolutely huge. So, I downsized to an 8.5 and am hoping it will work. If you are used to a certain size in Asics, go down a half size. Otherwise, order your normal running shoe size.

The stitching is off around the toes making them pucker on the one shoe. My feet hurt in them. Sorry I spent so much money on these.

I love that I could find a predominantly white athletic shoe, they seem so hard to find without looking like old lady shoes. However, I expected that these shoes would have much more arch support than they came with. I will keep them, but these will not work for power walks. Just not enough support. I can use them for rowing and biking, non impact situations.

This shoe seems to run slightly longer than previous models and the balls of my feet don't line up in the shoe very well. They also feel very flat with little support. Ive been wearing this shoe done 2013 and this is the first time ive given a bad review. The 26's were so much better than the 27s and I've even considered returning them because they fall short of what I'm used to in a gel kayano

The toe feels to narrow. I dont have wide feet so I was surprised by this fit. And their strict return policy prevents me from returning. Would be comfortable otherwise!

The front part of the shoes do not have the same cushion as the heal part.

I love the sneaker and it's well assembled but the fit is not right for me. I had ordered a size 8 and it was short and the 81/2 is too big. I have to wear it with the insole and orthotic for a better fit.

Shoe is great but color is much lighter than it appears on the website. It's more of a teal blue in person.

This is the first pair of Asics shoes I haven't felt comfortable in. The cushioning is great, but they are more narrow than my last 3 pair of Asics Gel KAYONO 25's. I could wear the 25's from day one, all day long, but can only wear these an hour at a time before they start hurting my feet. I do like the color.

Comfortable shoes but only after light use of one week I noticed it's laces are loosing the threads.

This is a SUPER cute shoe but I have a narrow foot and this shoe is TIGHT! I usually wear GT-2000 and this felt like it had more cushioning but definitely squeezes the foot. I loosened the laces a lot and it feels wearable now.

I ordered a 5 as I'm a 4.5 but these are way too small, however now I've ran in them I can't send back unfortunately

I bought these gelkayano 27 as a replacement to my previous gel kayano 26 which have been amazing. I have very pronounced bunions and although the new trainers are very comfortable underfoot the gel kayano 27 have come up frustratingly narrower in the toebox which causes discomfort. Disappointing.

ASICS runners are also fashionable aswell as very comfortable!
