Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Just ran the London Marathon in this shoe. Great support and insulation from the pounding of 26.2 miles. Thanks ASICS.

I have been a fan of Asics since 1989 when I was first introduced to them. However, at one point - maybe around 2012, the shoes fell out of favor with me for their build. I then tried other brands and at least one was pretty good, another not done well for my feet. I tried the Kayano line again with the 24 and was happy to be back. Then the 25 came along and, again, build issues were problematic. However, I got a pair of 26s in mid-2019 and was completely sold on them - so much so that I wanted to get another pair before they were gone for good which I did. The size in the Kayano is true to fit - don't need an extra 1/2 size. It is a light shoe with excellent shock absorption and good for my preferred distances of marathons and half-marathons. I am in my late 60s and have only run a few marathons since turning 60, but you know how it is - you want something that gives you stability, cushion and design with a featherweight feel. If you are a serious runner, it is tough to beat these shoes!

Great fit and support, I'm 6', 200 lbs., neutral gait. Shoe fits nicely, no hot spots, and is durable. Plus, gotta love those 70's Onitsuka Tiger stripes on the white upper!

Nice shoe but returned it for credit...yet to be credited>>>????

Great running shoe. The silver and white colors look good and not too bright. I run 8 miles a day so I need a good shoe and this is it.

Good looking shoe that also provides excellent support

Just want I expect from a Kayano. Replaced my 25s for running .. even though they are still fine for walking and casual stuff.

Great shoe, great fit, great comfort, shipped and delivered as promised.promises

These shoes fit great and look great. I just need to keep them clean!

I love them so much i feel like i can dunk on everyone and I'm only 5'7. There so soft too feels like I'm waiting on clouds

Tried another brand. I was dumb. These are the best there will ever be. Amazing shoes.

Owned the GK25s and happy with my new 26's so far!

These shoes are awesome. I purchased 25 earlier. These are better. Great heal and ankle support. T he toe box is wide for my fat foot. Very comfy. The gray color works with just about any outfit.

Have been wearing Gel Kayano's for years now. The comfort and fit is unbeatable. I am concerned that they are using cheaper material on the souls because they appear to wear out quicker now.

I have suffered from severe congenital pes planus (left foot my whole life. The Gel Kayano 26 (as well as models 25 and 27) provide good support and stability without overcorrecting and still allowing enough pronation and flexibility in the medial arch and forefoot to avoid irritating the plantar fascia which can happen when a shoe overcorrects and becomes to rigid which I have experienced with certain other shoes from other brands.

The shoes are great. I am running about 16 miles a week with no issues. The support is balanced.

love the fit, the toe box has more room than older Kayanos and that works for me.

Look great! Runs like a champ! Reliable and best looking model i have had.

This is the only shoe my son can where he has plantar fasciitis he has tried other shoes none of them work just these

Comfortable and I don't get blisters. Well cushioned but stable. I wore Hoka's last time and developed a lot of blisters.

Excellent shoe. At my age my wheels are important.

I have run in GEL-Kayanos for many years. They work well for me.

very nice comfortable fit. I have a pronation issue and these shoes work well. I caught them on sale but would have preferred a different color.

This is a great shoe. I've been an ASICS fan for years. Fits like a glove and can withstand my long runs and workouts.
