Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 27 Lite-Show

I wear an 8 in general footwear (primary Chuck Taylors), and 9's for Asics runners. The 27s are very light, a little too long considering these are the same size as my Kayano 25's but nothing overly noticeable. Originally bought for running only - but recently had to drop running due to a knee injury. Now used primarily for 30-40mins of HIIT and an immediate 2.3km powerwalk, 5 times a week. As a a consequence there were an excellent choice for a mixture of HIIT and short powerwalks. My 25's were very stiff around the ankles due to only being runners, while the 27s are excellent as they are light, breathable and a tad softer around the ankles (squats were slightly uncomfortable with the stiff ankle support) All n all, very stylish, flexible, love the full black, semi supportive (not as supportive as the 25's, but the 25's were far heavier - more tech) but a very very nice pair of active shoes.

I love all my shoes from ASICS! As a runner/walker at 48!with a probation I believe innAsics anywhere and everywhere!

Pretty funky looking trainers and they are very comfy too!

Good Quality. Sizing was not satisfactory, as I chose based on the website size chart.

Arrived on time as stated. Very comfortable for walking, easy to clean. Not ideal if you have a wider foot

These are comfortable and supportive. I ordered my usual size 8 and they fit well, although I wear a 7 in street shoes. I have some tendinitis at my achilles, and these don't rise as high in that area as other running shoes, so they are perfect for me. I like the arch support and the amount of foam, important since these are mostly for miles of city walking.

I really like this shoe. It is comfortable and provides great structure for those who over or under pronate a little. However, the toe box is a little smaller and it's more narrow than the regular Kayano 27s. I was glad to see that Asics provided women with a non pastel option.

Great look, comfy, just a little tight. Felt stronger on the run

Great runner for maximum comfort and support for people with bad arches.

Great runner for training and for people with flat feet to support the arch but could be lighter and not a fan of the laces

It is bery comfortable but the issue is the design on the front where the extra material of the design around the front makes it look like a boat. Wish there is no extra wing look so it doesn't look so wide

Shoes are comfortable and not restricting on width. Would purchase again

Good shoes, although I expected a bit more support..

Great shoes! Very comfortable and have already improved my running.

Good cushioning. Power walking is smoother and easier to go extra distance. But after 1 hour exercise,2-3 hours later the laces hurt a I have to remove shoes. I'd buy again for short times daily use, not all day wear.

They are very narrow. And I've a narrow foot so that was surprising.

All round comfort, a lot like 25, but not 26?! Sorry

Finally running pain free. So important with the right shoes ! < 3

This model runs a little wider in the toe box than previous models.

I needed to return these for a wide size. Otherwise loved them.

I bought these to wear at the gym and they are comfortable and perfect for training. The color is kind of boring but it doesn't really matter at the gym.

The arch is great, but the toe is a little narrow. Would be perfect if offered in wide width.

Shoes are unbelievably comfortable and supportive.

Very comfortable but the bottom in the front half is wearing down really quickly

Probably my fourth or fifth pair of Gel Kayano's. I think I maybe liked a previous iteration slightly better, but these are still pretty good!
