Comfort and stability provided. Bought a pair for the gym and ordered a second pair for city walks.

These shoes are are wonderful, I have two pair and am extremely pleased with them both. I do have to size up for the best fit.

This is the shoe I've been looking for! I tried the Gel Excite and wasn't a big fan of the stiff heel. It felt like it wasn't absorbing any of the impact but these are perfect! The gel technology visible in the heel has helped me run longer and harder. The colors are nice and a minimal touch, it fits true to size and I didn't struggle with a "break-in" period or chafing/ blisters in the ankle. I intend to get orthotics but haven't yet and these still feel great. I'd definitely recommend these and I'll probably be an ASICS Kayano follower for life!

Love these shoes. I'd given up on ASICS several years ago w/ a redesign of the Nimbus (can't remember which one) - I'd worn nothing else for years but the redesign that year was awful. I've tried a number of shoes/models since - but never found the comfort & support I'd had in ASICS. I purchase the Gel-Kayano looking for a shoe with a little more support but still cushy. Found them! I have a neutral foot with high arch in one - these are great. Just enough support but still oh so cushy/comfortable. I hope I've found "the shoe" again.

Sturdy, yet comfortable and stylish. The only sneaker I have worn for 10 plus years!

These shoes are extremely comfortable. I walk 3+ miles a day 75% uphill and I feel like I'm walking on air!

The colors are great! I think the blue is just a little bit lighter in real life, but it goes really well with the mint color. They're also super comfortable! I would definitely purchase them again.

My wife loves them. She usually wear 8 1/2, but we ordered both 8 1/2 and 9 after reading the reviews. We went with 9 and returned 8 1/2, so they do fit a little smaller.

I love these shoes. Super comfortable. I have been running in Asics since early 1980s. This shoe provides the overpronate support that I need.

Great shoe. Have used the Kayano for running for years. Have had no problems with the 26 so far. Like all ASICS, I wear a half size larger than my regular shoe size.

Needed half size up from Kayano 25 — I have Kayano25s and loved them! I have flat feet/overpronate and also have somewhat wide feet especially near my inner metatarsal, however these had both enough cushion and space to be comfortable. I ordered these Kayano 26s but had to go up half a size (9.5 to 10) because the 26s were slightly shorter and tighter around the toes. There was less room to press down with my thumb. The 10s are great, though, and Zappos has free return shipping so I am pleased!

I have been wearing the kayano for many years. The previous version felt very stiff and caused heel pain, but with the 26, I'm back in the comfort zone.

My podiatrist recommended it. Very stabilizing during my walks. However, I still get pain in the top of both feet, more in the right foot. The ache seems to have lessened.

The color is not as vivid or vibrant as shown in the add, but I love them for the quality and comfort. I have a bruise stone on my foot that is not felt and forgotten when I wear these shoes.

Shoes are comfortable and fit true to size. I suffer from plantar fasciitis and this makes my feet feel so good. Works well for HIIT workouts also.
