I love ASICS Gel Kayanos! I've been running in them for years and I've never had a problem. As soon as I decided to try a different brand of running shoes, I developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot and now, I am back to running in ASICS again. I will never switch again!

These are very good support shoes. I am a heavy runner with wide feet. I have such a hard time finding what I need in shoe stores. Thank you for making these available on-line.

So comfortable. They wear well while I'm at work in the hospital on my feet all day.

I am a first time Asics customer. I decided to give them a try after finding them recommended for heavier guys. I am glad I gave them a try. I am 6' 3" 350 lbs and I wear size 14 wide and they are very comfortable. I haven't had them more than a couple of weeks but so far I am very pleased. I wear them to the gym and I first noticed the shock absorbtion and how cushioned my feet were. I am glad I made the choice to try Asics after other brands have failed me.

It is a very very comfortable shoe. I wear them all day long, and don't get tired after long walking and no more knee pain

Love this shoe. The Gel-Kayano 26 runs small - I have been a size 9 in Kayanos for years. Had to get size 9.5 and fits perfect.

These sneakers are amazing!!! The last time I was this happy was with the gel kayano 21. I have been searching for the right sneaker. I run about 2-3 miles with them. I purchased a 9 1/2 and 10. I am always a 91/2. The 10 were way too big. The 91/2 a drop snug. I wear them with very thin socks. If you wear a thick sock then maybe go up a size. After my first run they stretched and I am so happy I kept the 91/2 and returned the 10. Will be buying a second pair as a backup. Love love these sneakers!! Zappos customer service is amazing!!!

Thank you for this fantastic shoe-love it!! I have worn your shoes for many years, but feel this update is more comfortable. I appreciate having the option of 11.5 vs size 11 or 12 only.

I have flat, wide feet and I've always been a Kayano fan, but these are by far my favorite! They're very springy and seem to have extra cushion at the back of the ankle, making them very comfortable. Loving the wider toe box, too.

This shoe fits perfectly and "runs" great right out of the box. I wear a size 8 shoe and the 8 1/2 running shoe. Lots of cushioning and stability but still feels flexible. The only caution is if you have a wide foot (I do not), the 26 might be too snug in the toe box. Good luck shopping. I love my Gel Kayano 26 running shoes...waited months for them to drop and ASICS did not disappoint!

These are my second pair & are a perfect fit once again. Normally I wear a 13 narrow but the 13 medium is what fits me in this style. I love the color...finally a feminine looking athletic shoe. It’s not easy to find in this size. Thank you ASICS!!! I am walking in comfort & style.

Got the new 26 over a week ago. I have worn them 3 days straight and the piedmont grey color already has dirt marks on the inner ankle cuffs from rubbing. I'm dreading how they may look in 6 months. My 16 model still looks good (silver), but the fabric was different. The outside logo on this 26 looks much more high end than the 25.

I read previous reviews about customers unhappy with the colors of the womens 26s. I purchased the violet blush / dive blue. These shoes look different in person than in a picture. Very nice. I also purchased the white ones. Typically I dislike white shoes but the black color that shows through makes these look better. Very happy with the colors. Give the violet blush / dive blue a look in person!

I love the Kayanos and have bought them for years. My only complaint is that I always push a hole through where my big toe is in the left foot. Does anyone else have that problem? It happens consistently with each pair of sneakers that I purchase.
