Love these!! They are the second pair I've bought in a row! I have a narrow foot but like space in the toe box. Lots of cushion around the heel, plenty or arch support without having to purchase insoles! They fit true to size. I wear a size 9 shoe & always wear a 9.5 running shoe. I walk & jog and spend long days walking and standing at Disneyland.

I wore ASICS for many years but switched to Brooks for my last two pairs of running shoes. I noticed immediately that the toe box in the ASICS is much roomier! My Brooks would rub and cause blood blister/callus. I have not had that issue in these! I would highly recommend these. They are very comfortable and great for longer runs! I only wish stability shoes were as stylish as neutral shoes.

These are the best shoes I've found to wear during a 12 hour shift at the hospital!

Pleased! Felt a bit narrow through widest part of the foot (and I'm not a wide / just average), but it has stretched out. Good cushioning! Go 1/2 size up from regular shoe. This is my 4th pair of Asics. I use these for 3-4 mile fast walks and around the house if on my feet.

These shoes are super comfortable and offer really good support for high intensity exercise like running! They are clearly very high quality and do not rub anywhere! I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone who wants light weight, supportive, and cute running shoes!

I ordered the wide width so my toes are not smashed but then the heel is looser. I will just try tying them a little tighter to compensate for the extra room in the heel . Overall comfortable and supportive.

I really like ASICS as they were the first brand when I started running about 10 years ago. I've been running in the Nike free's for the past year or so, which are a totally different type of shoe, almost polar opposites.
I like resuming the heavier shoe with more arch support, but I have to adjust to it a bit because I'm used to running with the feeling of practically nothing on my feet and the feeling of each larger pebble I come across. Pros and cons for both shoe types, but I selected these primarily for knee injury prevention as running in the frees have started to indicate zero future forebearance.

I love these shoes. I am running a half marathon and they have been excellent on my feet. I tell everyone to get the same shoes.

Really great shoes from the first run. Plenty of support and fits true to size for Asiscs.

Great fit and arch support. Have not found a better fit in any other shoe. This is my 4th pair of Gel-Kayano's.

I have been a faithful user of these Asics shoes. They are the best! Unbelievably comfortable and require no getting used to.

Love my Asics! Asics are the only shoe that I've even been able to take out of the box and wear right away without any issues. They are comfortable from the start.

I like the stability of the Ascics Kayano. Each day, I walk 3 miles and need the arch support. I have been happy with the support the Kayanos provide.

I'm mid-40s, plus size female w/flat feet. Been jogging 25 years, mostly on treadmill. Overpronate. These give good stability, not as stiff as Brooks. It is a true WIDE sneaker. I wear 8.5-9 wide in shoes so I ordered 9.5 wide in this sneaker. I've walked/jogged 5 miles so far. No break in needed.

I am extremely happy with my Asics shoes. I am now back to walking. Have less pain in my knee, hip and back. These shoes are the best I have ever had. Would recommend them to anyone that has a problem with pain of any kind.

These have easily become my new favorite running shoe, for so many reasons. The colors are awesome, they are very comfortable, have so much support, and provide a lot of room in the toe box!

I own several pair of ASICS shoes. I love the fit and the way they wear. I'm an avid walker so comfort and support is important to me. I really like that ASICS started making a 10 1/2 size shoe. It fits much better than the 11's that I have worn, not much difference but enough that the smaller size works better.

I have large Tailor's bunions on both of my feet, which means I require shoes with a wide toe box and stabilizing arch support. The Gel Kayano 26 are so comfortable and fit true to size. My feet are thanking me! Will definitely purchase again!
