Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

toe box fits much better, love the heel cushioning but the forefoot cushioning is a bit thin, i noticed it as soon as i put them on!

I have wide feet and this is such a perfect shoes for me. Just wish I have more padding for my flat feet.

Perfect fit and cushioning as always. I wish the colors were a bit more inspiring...

Good looking shoe, but not as comfortable as previous Asics.

I fell in love with the Kayano 25bought six pair, and I'm glad I did. The Kayano 26 seem smaller, both in length and depth, I bought my usual 8, and felt like my toes were closer to the end. Also, I felt like the heel portion of the show doesn't fo up as high and i feel like the show squished my heel, I did wear these for the first time on a long run so maybe my foot wasn't used to thembut my feet hurt afterwards. I'm going to give them another shotpreferably on a smaller run. I got the dusty rose color and they are much prettier in person. The underlay is a pinky coral and coordinates beautifully with the dusty roselooks a lot different than online picture . One more thing not as cushioned as 25s

When I first tried on the shoes, my small two toes on my left foot felt pressed. After wearing the pair a couple more times, it was fine. I'm assuming that was the break-in period. The shoes are comfortable without any issues. I haven't bought Gel Kayanos in the last couple of years because ASICS changed the toe box, but it seems to have been corrected, thankfully! My only disappointment was the color selection; I'd like to see more options. I thought the midnight women's shoe I ordered was black, but it's actually a dark blue. I was initially disappointed, but kept the pair anyway.

Love the shoe, including the wider toe box compared to the previous versions. Would have been 5 stars if the color selection for wide with wasn't so limited.

These shoes are comfy but definitely feel stuffed and less cushion than previously. Still amazing support though!

Hard soul shoe but nice. Hurts if you wear for a long time. But nice!

The fit was sloppy, they didn't feel right. My knees hurt when I ran in them, I'm not sure why.

I was hoping the would fit as well as my Venture 7's! I was disappointed! They were narrow for a wide, the heel cup was too tight! For that amount of money I would have liked it to compare to my older ASICS since they are newer!!!

I was very exited for them and like the shoes. But the size is off. They run small. Customers need to be reminded on the product description page. I always wear 7.5 but with those, my toes hurt. Very disappointed with the size fitting.

Even with my inserts, this shoe does not seem to have as much cushion as my old Gel-Excite 6, especially in the ball area of the foot. I will be more careful with what I order in the future, never realized there were so many choices!

The shoes are pretty but the comfort is okay. not as comfortable as Kayano 28. I do love the color and I still wear them. The shoe laces on this pair are long.

The soles seem thinner than previous model and it feels tighter around forefoot.

If you dark gray, these sneakers are good for you. I just didn't like the color. I thought from the pics they were black.

5 stars for the sole cushioning. I really want to love the rest of the shoe but the stitching around the top reinforcement feels like it cuts into the top of my foot. I used to love ASICS!

The fit seems small, other than that I think I would buy them again. I would go up a half size.

Not as cushioning as previous Kayano's I've worn, but I still like them.

The fit is fine and they look good but I wish they had more padding on the bottom of the shoe.
