Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Very attractive shoe when I open the Box. Feels great on

Although I typically wear Asics, I don't think I've tried the Kayano before. I normally wear the Medium width but tried the Wide and preferred the wide. These are a great Asics.

these shoes are excellent. Used to wear the Kayano and switched to Nike Pegasus. both are good. but love these Kayano. really good support and cushion

Super comfy! I went up a half size up due to bunion since there were not an option for wide width.

For me, they are a perfect fit for size 8. My feet are more narrow so for folks with wider feet I don't know. Perhaps take that into consideration when ordering.

Love love this show. Great running shoe that’s also good looking.

I normally wear a six in shoes, had to get a seven in these but very comfortable and supportive

Love these shoes! I’ve been a long time fan of the ASICS Kayano line and these did not disappoint. I’m recovering from an injury and have been out of the game for 2 years. I’m just now getting back to walking / running and I’m thrilled to find that this brand and fit have remained consistent while I was off. As with all running shoes, expect to go at least a full size to a size and a half higher than your regular size. I’m a 9 1/2 medium in sandals, dress shoes and casual kicks - and in the ASICS Kayano I’m a 10 1/2 medium. Excellent cushion and support and road ready right out of the box. I went with the blue - it’s a gentle, bright, happy shade - reminds me of an early morning sky in spring. Happy feet!

I read some of the reviews saying this shoe ran short and to order a half size up. So I did and when I got them they were a half size too big. I exchanged for my normal size and they feel fine. I have my own inserts because I need more support for my high arches. I’ve been wearing the Gel Kayano for several years now and they have by far the best support and fit for my narrow foot. There have been some minor changes to the design throughout the years and I eventually had to go up a half size a while back. I’m not a runner so I wear them for walking, working out at the gym and vacations. This pair seemed to have a more rounded toe area than my previous pair. I love the color accents on the black. I also like the fact you can trial these shoes for 30 days and return them if they don’t work. Thank you Zappos!

Love the shoes. Great color and fit.

ASICS is constantly changing the styles of the ASICS Gel Kayano. I was surprised that the 26 fit so great, and very comfortable for walking. We do lots of hiking, and these are perfect for my 70plus year old feet! I have worn ASICS for many years, as they are the best for my foot issues. Used to run marathons and half-marathons. ASICS always pulled through.

I tried to go to the GT 1000 and GT 2000 to fix a supination issue but in the end the Kayano are really the best for someone who is on their feet all day long at work.

Felt like this model had a bit more arch support than the GT-2000 8. But both felt great.

Great support. I slightly pronate and felt these stopped my foot from rolling inward. I ordered a half size larger for a perfect fit.

Great fit and style!!

Love it! ASICS is back in the game with these. To give you an idea of sizing I wear an 11.5M Brooks, 11.5M Reebok, 12M Sam Edelman flats, 11M Cole Haan flats, and an 11.5 WIDE in ASICS. ASICS tends to run on the narrow side and a half size small. Compared to my previous ASICS these had a bit more toe room, but the wide fit perfectly.

Needed to go a half size bigger, but otherwise fantastic feel while running.

Runs smaller than older models. Order half size up if you haven’t ordered ASICS in awhile. The gray with rose gold is very nice.

These shoes, all the styles I tried on run about a half size smaller than they used to. I was wearing a 9 in the Nimbus 11 but after trying on a 9 in the latest Nimbus, Pulse and Kayano it was obvious that the sizes are no longer the same.

I have plantar fasciitis and usually have to wear orthotics in my shoes. With these sneakers I have not worn my orthotics and have not experienced any foot pain. The shoe is true to size and is very comfortable. I wear them daily for my morning and evening commute to work. I would definitely buy them again.

These shoes fit so well that I’ve ordered two more pairs of the same shoe. It’s the best fit of the many brands I’ve tried and best fit of the various Asics shoes I’ve had over the years.

Fit perfectly
