Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Side of shoe where foot hole is developed a hole after wearing twice. I have owned several gel -kayanos in my life. Disappointed this pair fell apart so quick.

Very Supportive; love the KAYANO 25's better. Sizes have changed... go up 1/2 size when ordering.

Fit is true to size, very comfortable, could use extra padding on heel

Love love ASICS. Have been wearing them for decades. The shoes are so supportive.

Love this style have over 10 pairs but for some reason this time they fit tighter in length. Having to return.

Beautiful color! A bit narrow for my feet but it does not have W. Wish more cushion on the heel.

I have flat feet. These running shoes work great for me. These running shoes work great for me.

They are so comfortable and the fit is excellent. I love the support I get from the shoe as I have overpronated knees/arches...

Great shoe, very supportive. Not sure I like the silky heel, my foot slides a lot because of it.

Overall a great shoe. Every run felt like I was running on a cloud. They did not last as long as my other Kayanos, but I would purchase them again.

1st time trying ASICS Kayano. Got the 26. Usually wear Nimbus but because recommended for my pronation type.. thought I'd try. Fit was good for my usual 91/2. The silky type padding not as much as 20's.. but not bad. Wore around house to try but eventually got shin splints & also if standing still say cooking or whatever... the right side of right foot., lateral area felt hard & painful also the plantar area. Never ever had to break in a shoe from ASICS but maybe this shoe was changing or correcting what the Nimbus 22's weren't. But comfort is everything & for now I'll stick with the neutral Nimbus 22's.

Comfortable as always. The shoelaces are way too long.

I wear ASICS shoes for work and running. This Tokyo Kayano gel is a gorgeous shoe but run a little small especially on the metatarsals. The shoe is very light and provide good balance on posture. The shoe would've been very comfortable if I were to go 1/2 size up. I do recommend this shoe.

All the cushioning I want but sometime something is hard on ball of right foot. I will but the 27 when it comes out.

The toe box was too wide for me, but I have a thin foot. I love the colors in this shoe, but my foot was slipping around in the shoe, so I'm returning them. I hope to find another Kayano to walk in. Love ASICS!

These shoes are super comfy and has plenty of space for my orthotics.

I always buy ASICS Gel Kayano. This years sneaker seemed a little less cushiony than in the past. The toe is also rounder in appearance.

I'm only giving these 4 stars because the Gray is way lighter than shown. I was very excited to see them come stock but disappointed to see the color off. I will say as a personal trainer that these are amazing for being on your feet for hours.

Runs small. Normally a 7 1/2 but had to get an 8. Overall pretty happy with the shoes

Great shoe but hasn't helped my plantar fasciitis as expected

I've been purchasing the Gel Kayano running shoe for many years. Presently, it's still my go to walking shoe. To me, the quality has sometimes varied, but my latest two pairs have been adequate. One pair of Kayano prior to my last two pairs-the material near the top of the shoe tore quickly, like within a month or two. I almost stopped purchasing ASICS. But, I'm glad I didn't. With my latest pair, Kayano 26, I had to size up one entire size from my street shoes. Never before, has that been the case. I wonder if that will continue? Because of COVID 19 all my orders are done online. Thankfully ASICS makes cost free returns easy enough.

They are very comfy . I would prefer a pair with more arch support. The support on these is definitely in the heal

I love the Gel-Kayano shoe. My only issue is this pair seems to run smaller than usual. I am and avid runner and a 1/2 size up would be a better fit.

These are my favorite running shoes because of their cushioning, stability, and narrower width. I run about 7 miles 5 times per week. The reasons I can't give them 5 stars are (i) ridiculously expensive, and (ii) soles wear down faster than other shoes (Brooks and Nike).

Slimmer than the 25, but still a good fit. Nice shoe.
