Great support, comfortable and not too heavy. Will be buying another pair when they get my size back in.

I’ve been buying gel Kayanos since 2012 when I damaged a tendon fitness walking and the Kayanos were one of the rare styles of runnning shoes that enabled me to pop in an orthotic and get back on the road. Since then my love affair with Kayanos has been happy though occasionally bumpy. The Kayano 20’s were my absolute favorites despite their less than spectacular colors. The fit was amazing and the bounce I got walking in them gave me a lot of energy. The 21-22’s were good too but I took a hiatus for two years during the 23-24 period. I returned for the 25’s—great fit but too hard and the 26’s were good but they ran short. I just wanted the 20’s back. Enter the 27s. My prayers were definitely answered. The kayano 27’s are a great running shoe for me. I have long narrow feet and they fit perfectly. If anything the length is generous. The width is on the tighter side even for my narrow feet, and I’ve had to lace them more loosely until they stretch more. The springiness I get walking on them is amazing. It’s like walking on marshmallows. I’ve even been able to forgo orthotics a few times. My two caveats are the colors aren’t exactly great and ASICS has an issue with fit between colors so that my white Gel Kayanos which I got directly from ASICS are longer, narrower and springier than the navy ones I just got from Zappos. Even so, I’ll keep buying them.

I purchased the Kayano -27 last month. I am an active RN who has worn Kayano sneakers for years. I had a partial knee replacement 2 weeks ago. This sneaker did not disappoint! I am up to walking two blocks and the support and cushioning it gives with my physical therapy has been instrumental to my healing and success! Love this sneaker!

I bought this like a month ago and I'm happy I did. They are comfortable and lite. I truly recommend them. I got 8 1/2 and its true to size. Fits perfect. Wish I can share a picture.

These were my first pair of Asics & I absolutely love them. They have an awesome support which is vital in a shoe for me.

I overprotonate a lot when I run and I an so happy that these shoes support me in a way that alleviates the shin splints and knee pain I am prone to in other shoes. Highly recommend for overprotonaters.

Love the black on black option! Very lightweight shoe compared to the other shoes I've ran in. I had read through reviews that many people didn't like the recent/upgraded laces, but these laces rock. I'm usually a double knotter but these stay put and I get away with a single knot!

Perfect fit, wide toebox so my toes don't go tingly, stable landing for my weak ankle, and can wear with anything.

Have been wearing these to work for the last two weeks and they are very comfortable. I walk about 8-10k steps during my work day. I was having heel pain before while wearing some worn out asics and that has significantly improved with the added support of these shoes.

These are by far the best shoes I have ever owned! I have super high arches and these give my feet the proper support without having to purchase additional inserts! Very well made and worth every penny!

Best running shoes for me. I've tried others and nothing else comes close. I love the extra room in the toe box from Asics. Thank you for that!

Comfortable from the very first run! I have flat feet and over-pronate and these work great!

Let me first say that I am a Kayano superfan (having owned almost every version). I had soured on the recent versions (23-26, just weren't as comfortable as I had grown to love). I recently purchased Kayano 27's for my wife and I. Well, after the first tandem run, I'm happy to say that the newest version scored high marks across the board! We both agree that the K-27 is the most comfortable, supportive shoe that we've ever worn!

So comfortable right out of the box! Would highly recommend. True to size 8. I do have a wide foot and flatter arches, so these shoes have been fantastic.

I have a low arch on my feet and overpronate a lot. I also spend long hours on my feet working as a nurse and these shoes alleviate the excruciating pain I used to have on my back, feet and knees. Nike and adidas only bring me back pain. And it realty was a God send when I tried on kayanos a few years ago. The kayano 27 have better gel and the toe box provides plenty of space than better editions. I bought 3 pairs as I also run 20+ miles/ week.
