Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 Lite-Show

These were not what I expected, not a bad shoe but I'm looking for more support.

Good structure and support for running 5k distances

This shoe has arch support and thick cushioning, yet I feel a strong, pounding hit to my feet when I run in them. My not-so-cushioned Nikes seem to absorb the impact a bit better. The arch support makes my arches feel sore. The shoe isn't very deep, which makes my feet feel like they're slipping out. The top/front part of shoe puts an odd type of pressure to my great toe and metatarsal, making that region sore as well. I may use these shoes for work instead, although I stand for about 8 hours per work shift.

Love ASICS - these trainers are just not my style!

I have these in a regular 8 and my podiatrist suggested I start getting wide shoes due to a nerve issue. So, ordered these in 8 wide and they fit no different then the regular. Will be returning due to size.

They seem really tight. Perhaps I should have ordered one half size larger, or something.

I bought kayano before but this one is way too narrow . I bought them for work and my feet are killing me , especially my left foot . I am little disappointed , I loved my kayano 25 . I love the look and hope they will stretch

Nice but not as comfortable as an old pair of Kayano's is had in the past. I needed a new pair of sneakers foe work as I sand all day but my back pin is back most likely due to these sneakers not being as supportive as my old pair of Kayano.

I have worn this brand of shoes for yrs. but this new version is a disappointment. They are to big. They fit like a sz 10.5 instead of sz10 and are to wide in the ball of the foot. They are no way as sturdy as past Kayanos and are in no way as supportive. I would not buy these again!

Not great customer care Ordered 44 received 43.5 online returns didn't work. Had to get email sent which took 5 working days. I think someone needs to take a long hard look at customer care. Very poor

I am a huge asics fan but the right shoe was too tight on my bunion I returned the shoe for a full refund and had no problems, I tried to go to a store so I could try them on to make sure of the fit but the store was not open 45 minutes after the posted time, I had traveled 45 minutes just to go to this store so sadly I could wait no longer and had to buy a competitors shoe, in the same outlet mall, I still love asics but the store should be open at the posted time.Maybe I will try again when these wear out.

This model doesn't feel as stable as previous models the material has hardly any support in the upper four area

These are super running shoes but the width is too tight compared to previous Kayanos, causing big issues with rubbing, calluses, and hot spots. Disappointing given the expense.

Been wearing Kayanos for 20+ years and don't like the direction they're heading. Shape of the toe, inside materials, fit, quality all deteriorating with each pair for about the last three years. Hit and Miss with each mew model year. Even the colors aren't good.

I personally need a little more arch support otherwise good!

Lovely style very good support and cushioning but far too narrow width fit - and my feet aren't particularly wide - so had to return

Love the sneaker but the toe area use to have a coating in the color of the sneaker, which prevented the fabric around the toes at base of the sneaker to get dirty....you seem to not make them that way anymore so sneaker gets very dirty there.

The toes feel wider than they did in the 26's. They are attractive shoes but I'm having a hard time making them fit properly. I have been running in the Kayano for over 20 years, something is just different with this model.

I much prefer my Gel-Kayano 25's The toe box on the 27 is more flimsy and there's something about the lacing and the tongue that is different in a not so good way

If you have wide feet, the tongue may be too narrow as it was for me. Last year's model tongue was wider

A little narrow for my comfort. My feet ache at the end of the day

Not as supportive as another style they have but if you don't have major feet problems they will do the trick

I've owned many pairs of kayanos. This is the first time that my heel comes out of the sneaker whenever I'm walking. This needs to be fixed.

Shoe is fine. Slimmer and more sleek than the last kayano however Toe box seems to crease and then rubs into big toe. Apparently it's to do with the new plastic like mesh that keeps the toe of the shoe but it lost its shape after 1 run and got worse after a week. Had to return but still will only wear ASICS for my running ans cross training.
