Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

I have worn Asics runner for 15 years. This is the worst of them all. It's very thin on the sole, and top. It feels like wearing cardboard shoes. I hope you will make the next better.

Nice shoe - but not the right shoe for me - I have some foot issues

I have been wearing the gel kayano for over 10 years and the past few years they just aren't as comfortable. They hurt my feet. But at least these are wider in the toe as they got too narrow the past few years. I need to take the inserts out and buy an expensive one as they hurt my feet even after breaking them in for 2 weeks.

They seem to have less cushioning than previous gel kayanos

I love ASICS and they are great for my pronation. Unfortunately, the padding isn't great on this particular shoe. Usually I can wear my ASICS for several months before inserting my orthotics. This time I had to do it right away to get some cushion support. I'm a little disappointed.

I usually buy Nike but I tried to explore different brand this time. I thought Nike runs smaller than others. But I got surprised that asics was way tight especially in my width. I'll be happy if you have more wide collections and have more unisex collections.

The shoe has started to develop a hole on the left toe. I am not happy with the quality.

i find these sneakers a bit tight and uncomfortable.

Shoe is a little stiff compared to previous gel kayanos. The padding isn't as good either.

Same as others fit is not like previous ones I've purchased in past, seem like they have a shorter cut in heel area.

Great running shoe but the size is off again. I have the Gel-Kayano 26 in the same size but the MX is shorter, I can feel the end of the shoe on my toes.

Love this shoe but color on site is not same as what was advertised. Was disappointing

Looked like a great shoe, but in using your shoe comparison sizing tool on your website, it told me to "size-up" my daughter's women's size 10 from a comparison with New Balance size 9.5. Well the size-up made the Kayanos too big, so we're shipping them back, the XC season is finished, and not sure if we will re-purchase them. Run a monster sale on Black Friday and good chance that we will!

These are not as good as 1st pair. Need more padding on the inside. These haven't held up well at all. Don't buy this kind

Right shoe ran a smidgen too small. Had to return. Left shoe felt great. Was able to find a previously purchased Gel-Kayano 25 in local store that I loved, which is why I rated this -26 a 3. Love the Gel-Kayonas. May try the -26 in store for fit before buying again.

They look great and I get a ton of compliments but I'm finding they're not as cushioned as the Kayano 24 and 25's I've had - after a month they feel like my one year old ones:(

I'm sure these are a great sneaker - I've had three pairs before ordering this one! But the ankle does not hold as snuggly in the Gel Kayano 26 as my previous pairs (24, 25), despite this being the the same size. I am going to return, unfortunately...

Not as comfortable as I expected. Minimal padding.

Like the look of the shoe but not that comfortable. This shoe was referred to me by my podiatrist.

I have loved ASICS for years, but these ones did not give me the comfort I am looking for. Not sure what was different because I have bought Kayanos for years. A tad bit disappointed.

Great cushioning, took it for a long run and felt great, however is heavy.

I'm not sure what it is but the Gel Kayano 25 gave more support for the overpronation. There is something slightly off with this one. Gel Kayano 25 was a super star. This one is tolerable but please go back to 25 :) That shoe was incredible.

Gel Kayano have been my go to; but something is different about this pair. The Toe box is not as high and I'm getting blisters on the tops of my toes and they feel shorter in length. Women's Size 12

These are beautiful, well made shoes. Fantastic support, very cushy. Unfortunately, I can't wear them because the toe box is too narrow. I thought they'd get better so I wore them for a week or so. They remained tight and I just can't wear them. Unfortunately, I can't return them either. I'm very disappointed.
