Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

This shoe fits well and provides a good balance between support and cushion. I have one foot with neutral pronation and one that slightly overpronates due to an old injury, and this style works well for both feet. I would like it better if the heel cup was more like the one in the Gel-Nimbus.

Love them. They were a little tight getting them on at first but once they are on they are very comfortable. True to size and support is very good for overpronation.

Nice roomy toe box and great for my wide feet. Only wish it had better arch support. If you're flat footed like me you definitely need this.

These were a Christmas gift for my daughter and in her Christmas list.

Comfortable with good support. No break in required plus podiatrist gave thumbs up!

2nd pair for me! Good shoes, need more cushion. Last well, look great.

Looks nice! In person the color is slightly different than pictured, but it still looks good. The soles are not as padded as I would like and even a little too hard. The fit overall on my difficult tired feet was good enough for me to keep them.

Not quite as comfortable as another 26 that I got at the same time...not sure why....

These are a great pair of shoes (for the days I've actually needed shoes lately) but they pale in comparison to the 25s. The structure and width of the laces as well as the tongue are less of a firm fit out of the box and they are less comfortable (but still better than other shoes). I feel like I may have accidentally spoiled myself with the 25s, and from here on out I'll be just settling.

I wanted a shoe for aerobics on my home hard floors so padding and arch support is important. Arch support is fine and the gel is good but the foot bed is a bit large. My size is correct so I assume it is the shoe.

I bought these to replace my old ASICS running shoes; they're not the same kind. I have VERY low arches (over pronation) and I figured the extra padding would help ease after-running pains. The shoes are comfortable and they do have great padding for romping around. However, I found the arch support less than ideal once I started my running routine.

Extremely comfortable and the pronation aspect helps my back and hips. I seem to walk more easily, sounds funny but true. I am a RN and therefore am moving quickly most of my shift. Very thankful.

I've only worn Kayanos since version 18. I like these a lot, but the toe box is a little smaller than it's been in a while. Strangely enough, the ball of my right foot has been sore running in this shoe specifically - not sure if it's the shoe or me, but hasn't been the case with my previous versions. Otherwise, I really like that it seems slightly lighter and I love the style.

I wear the Kayano because of multiple reconstructive surgeries on my right foot. This pair does seem to run smaller than my last 7-8 pairs. Hopefully this pair will last longer than my last 3. I'm am 72 and walk my dog 1 1/2 miles a day only to have holes on top of the toes area within 3-4 months.

This is my 8th pair of Kayanos and my second pair of this model. I love the cushioning and stability. The 26s run a touch short. I had to get 1/2 size up. I am frustrated that the lining material around the ankle tends to give out and tear so soon. I also think the tread wears faster than it should for a shoe of this price. But overall, they are the best choice for me that I've found.

I always thought that good shoes did not need breaking in. The front of the shoe definitely felt narrow, but after wearing it 5 times, it feels very comfortable. The shoe is light and feels durable.

They are narrow and a bit tight across the top but after wearing them a week it's much better. Very comfortable

ASICS are my go-to running shoes, and Kayano is the best model I've had for sure. This is my 4th pair of Kayanos in a row. Great cushion and support. Nice look. And they hold up better/run more miles than other brands and other ASICS models that I've tried.

Very comfortable, true to size. Highly recommend..

Comfy shoes, fit true to size, good for wide feet,

Nice shoes, though not as supportive and cushion-y as I recall other pairs being...

It seems wider than previous models. Great shoes I love my ASICS.

beautiful and very supportive. it's like walking on a cloud. i wish they had been a little bit cheaper.....
