Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Would Recommend, Best so far, I Chose the Black/Black colour as I didnt want anything looking Flash

Very supportive and incredibly well cushioned and comfortable. You immediately feel that this is a structured shoe and your foot is guided to land the right way. I feel like my feet get tired quicker compared to my very old and tired Gel-1170 but that might just be because my foot is not used to landing properly, Still early days

Sturdy and comfortable support running trainer shoe

A+ for comfort and at least an inch taller : ) seriously Awesome that you offer sizes 13-15UK

Ran out the first 30k so far in this shoe recently and very pleased with the fit, comfort and performance. My ankles where much less achy compared to my old running shoe and they recovered quicker.

Gel kayano 26 just received Been out for the third time now running. Fantastic grip Stable and comfortable Definitely worth the money Heading out on a 6k, so looking forward to the comfort of these shoes

I have a problem running on hard surfaces - the ball of my foot hurts and my big toe goes numb. This sneaker and it's support saves me. I have hardly any issues running outside on the street. This is my second straight pair.

These are really comfortable for me as they give my feet pronation support

Excellent running shoe. Good fit and great for distance.

Great shoe. Very comfy and has helped my knees for running

Very supportive and incredibly well cushioned and comfortable. You immediately feel that this is a structured shoe and your foot is guided to land the right way. I feel like my feet get tired quicker compared to my very old and tired cumulus but that might just be because my foot is not used to landing properly and I'm training new muscles. :) Still early days!

Perfect for slight pronation- no more knee aches. Light and supportive. Well made

Excellent product for either running, walking or standing around.

Cant beat the shoe for support and weight, i have flat feet and I'm not petite. I have taken them running out of the box with no issues. I have tried brand x and came back to the kayano time and time again. I enjoy wearing them for long walks or standing at amusement parks.

Best running shoes I have ever used. They take a beating

Very comfortable shoe. Just used these shoes on a hike and quite comfortable.

Can see the improvement from gel kayano 25 .great support on feet's . I can feel the gel . It's so comfortable.

Bought these for my son who usually wears orthotics and the are fantastic! So much arch and heel support that he doesn't need the insoles. Personally I wouldn't wear any other kind after having 3 pairs of Kayano, nothing else comes close for me. I do a lot of running and the provide fantastic comfort and great support. Had terrible foot trouble before I bought them.

Have ran in Kayano since 2004 and had every model until Kayano 22. I switched brands for a more cushioned shoe, to which I had injury after injury. I kept on buying different brands, and kept on getting injuries and developed Plantar Fasciitis. I was deciding if I should knock running on the head, as my feet were very painful. I thought my last chance was to go back to the shoes that I'd always relied on. Since buying the Kayano 26, I've worn them for walking and running, and my PF has disappeared. I'll never switch again. They are very supportive. and very comfortable. Great for long runs, and speedwork. If you are debating due to these being a supportive shoe, don't . Get a pair and you'll never go back. I'm a size 9, but have always gone up a 1/2 size due to feet swelling on long runs. Fit great.

Size chart helped on site so I could get a perfect fit.

I've been a loyal GT-2000 owner for as long as I've been running, but I wanted to give the Kayano a go. I've taken them out for a few short runs (< 2 hours) and they're performed brilliantly, no chaffing or other things to cause concern. I accidentally left them out and they got drenched in a downpour. The following day, it was sunny with a light breeze so I hung them on the clothes line and they were bone dry that evening.

I have been running in ASICS Gel Kayano's since no. 14 and they are fantastic! They are quite simply the perfect shoe for my running and walking style.

Great shoe. True to size. Med is perfect for this slightly wide foot. Excellent stability.

It is a better design than the Gel-Kayano 27. I think there might be a design flaw in the 27's toe area. Hard to explain but the toe piece inside the 27 makes the toe area pull in on both the left and the right side. You can see it from the outside and feel it in the inside. This is probably more of a bad review for the 27s. Also, this isn't just specific to this shoe - also applies to the men's 27. My husband had the same problem also. The toe areas don't cave in until you wear them a couple times. Then you can see it and feel it.
