Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Very comfortable. My first pair of ASICS to be used as a running shoe or maybe even a casual wear sneaker. Get a half size up from your normal size. My true size is a 10 and a 10.5 fit perfectly.

These are really great sneakers. I only gave 4 stars on style because I thought they might be a little lighter blue than they are. But they are sharp looking. A word on size - I normally wear a size 10, sometimes 10.5 in regular shoes. I have found over the years that ordering a size 11 is what always works for me in athletic shoes, even across brands. I'm not sure why that is, but this may help some ladies who are expecting to wear the same size in these as in other street shoes.

I bought the Kayano many years ago originally and upgraded several years later (I don't buy shoes nearly as often as I should. I wait until the pair I have is beaten to death!) The second pair didn't fit nearly as well. It seemed like the arch was off place and it was too small. Anyway, I decided to try again now that the too-small pair is toast. I was delighted with this version! It fits like a glove. I ordered a half-size up as well, in case they ran small again. I didn't even need to try it on. The arch is comfy and well-placed. Good support. I'm very satisfied. I wish the color I wanted hadn't been sold out, but the blue is fine.
