Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Took a chance. Chronic back pain, back and neck surgeries, 13 hr. days in a hospital. Have invested in probably every shoe, including "orthopedic" , hoping to not be in agony by end of days. YES! this shoe has relieved at least 75% of discomfort in back, hip, and legs! Absolutely will buy over and over! Just hope they continue with the great relief and comfort level. Required no break in wore entire first day, even though I had brought along another pair of shoes, (I usually changed shoes 3 times in a shift)! Please do not change any of the manufacturing on this shoe.

This my foot great and offer the support I am looking for. I had the Gel Kayano 25's. Perfect for me.

These shoes are perfect!! I tried them on yesterday for an indoor fitness class and wow! My foot fit perfectly- no to wide or snug.

I love this shoe. The picture of the shoe is true to color. And very comfortable.

I work on concrete floors. I average 3+ miles of walking a shift. I climb, crouch, crawl and have to stretch in all kinds of nonsensical ways to do my job. Needless to say I hurt. My first shift of wearing these shoes I felt significantly more support and stability. The shock absorption from constant movement was highly impressive. 2 weeks in and my lower back, heels and calves feel as if I'm a fit young athlete again. My pain is nearly gone. I am truly in awe of the difference these shoes have made for me. I highly recommend these. Oh, and just look how fantastic they look! Gorgeous! Lol Also, if you are wondering how I came across ASICS; they were recommended by a neurologist and backed up by a physical therapist.

I have always worn the Gel-Kayano. They are the best performing trainers for my bootcamp workouts

I bought because I have knee problems. The shoes really do have extra cushion and support.

Wet supportive and comfortable shoe. I wear them around the house and trail walking. I usually wear an 8 but in this shoe I wear an 8.5

Love these for comfort and cushioning. They're also very light.

Fit great, run great, very attractive. A solid shoe.

Fits my long and narrow feet. Half sizes and narrow widths above 10.

Fit great. True to size and they work well with my flat feet.

Light as air! Feels great running in them. I run on hills through my neighborhood that are mostly cement, and my joints are feeling better since switching shoes.

Love these shoes!! I needed new running shoes and my friends recommended I look into this brand. I found these and thought okay let's see what the hype is. Once I put them on it was like walking on clouds! Super comfy and I didn't know how fast I could run until I was in these! Literally the most comfiest and I highly recommend. I'll def buy another pair :)!

These are my favorite pair of ASICS! They have more room in the toe and better arch support. They don't hurt my feet to stand in all day. I find myself running a lot longer because they feel so amazing! They really put a spring in my step. A great purchase. My favorite type of ASICS for sure.

I've been searching for a good tennis shoe to support my day to day activities, as well as fitness routine. I have foot issues such as over pronation, bunion (one has been corrected now), ankle and Achilles tendinitis that I must exercise daily to keep at bay. These are a game changer for me.

Love these sneakers! Firstly asics is the best company for sneakers bc they have the most support and are still breathable and comfortable. Secondly, I love this navy/black design bc it blends it well with my athletic gear which is mostly dark. The shoes are more navy than black but still look cute with black leggings.

Love the support of these shoes. These were highly recommended by my PT for runners in particular.

Outstanding comfort and the colors are beautiful. I'm purchasing another pair.

I have been wearing Asics for years and these shoes are just as comfortable giving me extra cushion and support that my legs, ankles and feet need! I am very active, always on the go and on my feet. These Asics keep my legs from becoming tired and my feet feeling good all day!

Shape and thickness of the toe box makes comfortable room for toes to space apart - no friction or pain at bunion area and at little toe side but still secure at the metatarsals where it can be adjusted with strings. Finally, it returned. It is always good to have different models catering to various shapes of the toe box, Not just One since We All have different feet shape and thickness.

I love my new Gel - Kayano 26s. Not only are they light weight, provide great comfort and support for my workouts; they are stylish, too! Also, thank you to the designers for making the toe box a little wider for extra room for my toes; it makes a tremendous difference!
