They fit great. I have very flat feet. I still use an insole but there is arch support

Great quality shoe. Runs true to size, so don't order a half size big or small. (On some types/styles I wear a half size different). Beautiful and bright color combination.

I really loved these shoes. I used to be a Brooks runner, but the design has changed drastically over the years and I turned to ASICS instead. I was nervous being a die hard Brooks girl for years, but I’m so glad I found something I can continue running in. This is the second ASICS model I’ve bought, and they are very comfortable for someone like me who overpronates and is a plus size runner. My legs don’t feel overly tired and my back and joints feel great even on long runs. Just ordered another model of ASICS I can’t wait to try.

I like the 26 version so much more than the 25 version of the Kayano.

The shoe is amazing comfortable and supportive - I was concerned about the color combo and was pleased when I received them as it is a sharp looking shoe.
I use them for extensive standing and walking everyday of the week.
Comparing to the GT 2000 the toe box seems to have more room and the shoes are larger on my feet. I wore a 10.5 in the GT 2000 and could have gone with a 10 in this shoe.
In managing a bunion on one of my feet - I have wondered if the shoe may have too much cushion? Still evaluating.

These shoes are very light weight and if your knees hurt from running on concrete then these are the shoes for you. My knees don't hurt when using these shoes to run on concrete.

Shoes are perfect and the cushioning for overpronation is so supportive. No more blisters on my toes, and am up to 5-7 miles each day!!

Incredibly comfortable! I feel really safe in this shoe (I have ankle/heel issues so that's a big deal for me)

Shin splints improved as soon as I started wearing these. They've also been comfortable for long shifts at the hospital!

Love these shoes. I have bad knees, and these really help cut down on pain levels with my day to day activities due to the cushioning in them.

Scrounged around for the Kayano 26. Asics keeps changing the style and the comfort level varies; so who knows what is next! The changes always seem to suit one group and annoy the next. Didn't like the 23, loved the 25 and 26. I bought a 27, and it doesn't seem to have quite the toe comfort of the 25 and 26. The 27 is more shallow in the toe area, and the toes turn up too much. Its OK, but I wanted to grab the 26 for future use. Glad I did because who knows what the 28 will bring!

Shoes are very comfortable and offer the support that I need. The mesh design on the toe is especially good for my old feet!

This the a very supportive shoe. If you have a high arch, it will be the best shoe you ever put on.

These shoes are the best! I normally wear a 7.5 in sneakers but size up to an 8 in Asics. These shoes are really cute in the gray and rose gold. I wear them all day and they feel like walking on air. Highly recommend.

I got the Asics Gel-Kayano shoes based on the recommendation from my podiatrist. I was experiencing tendonitis because I've been walking around barefoot at home all day since I now work at home during the pandemic. My podiatrist suggested wearing these shoes at home and outside of the home too, all day. The shoe really does provide extra support and the gel absorbs the impact. The cushioning on the inside the shoe, around the ankle, took some getting used to especially since I still had some swollen areas of my foot. I am also able to place my orthotic inserts inside, just had to buy a size larger. Now the swelling has gone down and the shoe feels very comfortable. I hunted around for deals since they are quite expensive. I actually bought two shoes, one for inside of the house and the other for outside. I do that so I can walk anywhere at home without dirtying the house. Overall and over time, the shoe worked out great.
