Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

I followed the other buyers in the reviews advice and sized up I'm usually a 9.5 and went with a 10. Was to big and also felt tight. I was expecting them to be very comfortable but they were not. I returned for a 9.5 wide maybe they will be better. I just really would like a comfortable shoe for dance cardio.

I have been wearing and loving ASICS since the ASICs Gel Kayano 17 or 18. I don't worry about the colors offered, I just need the reliable shoe, for both cushion and stability. When I got the 26's, I could not believe that in my SAME size (8.5, one full size up from my street shoe size of 7.5), these shoes were significantly shorter than the 24's and 25's. Like almost 1/2 to 1 inch. They caused terrible blisters on my heels for the first time ever in the Kayano's. They also did not feel as cushioned as prior models. These pictures are of the same size shoe.

Very comfortable sneakers. I have plantar fasciitis. I feel no pain with the Gel-Kayano sneakers.

I bought my gel-kayano 26's when they first came out (around 2020 I think) and they were the best shoe for me to wear at school. Really comfortable and good to play sport in at school, and I could use them for netball training (wouldn't 100% recommend it for sports such as netball as you'd generally require better support given by proper netball shoes). It's around mid-2022 now and I still use them for sport uniform at school and at work. The cushioning in the soles has worn-down a lot but they're still very comfortable. Unfortunately I believe they've stopped making this model now. But wanting to say to asics these shoes are amazing and anyone that bought these will 100% get great use out of them. Mine are going 3 years strong :)

Excellent shoe . Comfortable and good support . My foot has great stability and doesn't ache while standing long hours or even long walks. Great for running as well.

Very comfortable, retro stylish, and the white stays white!
