Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

This is my sixth pair of Kayanos, and over the years they have gone from great to mediocre to great again. I cannot say that last versions deserved a 5 star rating, but the 26 does! I have tried, Saucony, adidas, New Balance, and many others, but nothing compares to the comfort of a Kayano. The only downside to the Kayanos, is they wear fast. 5-6 months top, if you are an avid runner. Time will tell with these.

Amazing , one of the most comfi trainers I have ever had

First time I've ever spent a proper amount on running shoes. What a difference they make. These shoes are also fantastic - amazing stability and comfort.

Great looking shoe. Light weight and so far very comfortable. I've had them a couple of weeks. Love the yellow color and black trim.

I've had 8 pair of pair of the Kayano over years and it's my favorite shoe. I have a pronation issue with my right ankle and the Kayano helps to minimize it.

Love these shoes!!! I previously had the kayano25 and had gone on to purchase another pair...but alas my size was sold out so I opted for the 26...best decision ever!!! The amount of cushion is awesome and I have been running 5 days a week in them since they arrived. These definitely did not disappoint.

Nice support for the arch. So far i walked about 15 miles in a week with this shoes, and haven't felt pain in my knees. Over all well made shoes.

Great looking shoe. Light weight and so far very comfortable. I've had them a couple of weeks. Love the yellow color and black trim.

Perfect fit. Wants to run. Next time buy two pair.

Great overall shoes. Very comfortable. Supportive without going over the top. Worth the money.

These are really good trainers, my third set of Gel-Kayanos. Great level of support; stylish and lightweight

Love the feel and comfort. Built out of sturdy materials and comfortable foam. Size fits spot on, and not too tight but snug.

I am a long time runner with Asics. I slipped this shoe on and forgot it was a new shoe.

wow i will never go back to brooks beast this shoe is so much lighter a great walking shoe.

I've always been an Asics fanatic. I've tried a large number of running shoes. Being in the military gave me the opportunity to go through shoes like crazy. I enjoyed some shoes due to their looks and dealt with the uncomfortable feel. There are others that were very comfortable but wouldn't wear them as casual shoes. With Asics, not only do I get the style, but also the comfortability. I can run in the morning clean them up real quick and throw them on again for casual wear. I love them.

Very comfortable shoes.For Running and walking are amazing to use them.

Super comfortable. Feels like running on cushions. The stability is excellent and have found that I recover quicker from my soreness after my steady slow runs. Bit sluggish on faster paced runs but speed wasn't my reasons for buying these shoes so I can't fault that

Excellent shoe. Extra room in the toe. Super cushiony.

I've always preferred the stability shoe over other alternatives, and the Kayano has been one of my go-to shoes over the years. Memory tells me that each time I lace up a pair fresh from the box, my feet are routinely shocked by the degree of arch support they provide. The 26 is no exception. As someone who is 70 and who's been pounding the pavement for over 40 years, it may be that my arches have followed the law of gravity. Whether that is true or not, I frankly don't care and won't bother to check. Let me put it this way: when I put on the Kayanos, the support between arch and shoe structure is haptic. But as the proof of the pudding lies in the eating, the proof of the shoe lies in the running (or what passes for that at this stage of my life). There is perhaps no other shoe I've used over the years that has provided the easy comfort and support the Kayanos have. The 26 follows in that tradition--though, I gather, it is on the path to extinction..

I have used ASICS since the 80s and never been disappointed!

Best running shoes I've ever bought!! They are light and provide great cushion while running.

Used the guides on the ASICS website to determine the type of shoe and size I needed. Delivery was as promised and they've been comfortable from the first run.

So gonna start with 5 stars because I have heard some great reviews, but I have been an Asics fan for many years, well before these came out! These have a great look, sharp with the patent accent stripes, the contrasting matte and the breathable mesh seems to be functional. All that said, I have yet to try them on the court and will wait to the coming season 2020 and will revisit this review if given a chance after about 20 games in!

I've worn Asics running shoes for over 25 years and these are the best version yet.
