You just can't go wrong with this now classic running shoe. It's not only light weight it holds your foot in place

Great shoes wouldn't buy anything else. Having tried other brands, I have come back to the Kayano and there really is not comparison. They offer unrivalled comfort and durability, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I run 25-30 miles a week and these shoes are comfortable and provide gteat support. I haven't experienced any injury concerns and will continue to run in Kayanos in the future.

Great shoes! This is my third pair of the Gel-Kayano 26 over the past few years. I have found no better shoe to help with my pronation issues. I will wear these as long as they are still available to purchase.

This shoe is comfortable I have not bought any ASICS shoes I did not like. ASICS is the only brand I buy. Recommended by my podiatrist.

These shoes are extremely comfortable, I have received many compliments on the color and style. They cushion my arches and heels to perfection.

I'm new to running and started to use my old trainers which led to a lot of pain in the ankles. After researching different brands, I opted for Asics. I needed a little more help in understanding the sizing and their customer service talked through everything with me. My ankles improved almost immediately. I feel really comfortable and didn't need to "wear them in".

Had a bout of plantar fascia and these shoes aided in the recovery. This shoe made my legs feel like new again.

These shoes are well made with superior support. I have back problems and these shoes allow me to stand all day compared to other brands of shoes I have used

Love these shoes. I have been suffering from plantar fasciitis and went through 3 pairs of very expensive shoes before finding these. I haven't missed a day of work because of them and my feet are slowly beginning to finally heal!

The Kayano's are not as responsive and have a little more cushion than I am accustomed to but they feel perfect for my damaged big toe. At first I felt like the shoes were a bit shallow and was concerned they would allow heel slip but once the runs were underway I never gave it another thought. These work extremely well for me, look fantastic (imho) and are definitely worth the cost.

6 years later and I still love the Kayano! I ran several marathons in the Kayanos from 2005 - 2014....I switched to a different brand in recent years, even a different ASICs model, and not sure why I ever did. The moment I put the shoes on, the lightness of the shoes brought me back to old times. The shoes were immediately comfortable to run in with no need of breaking in. I'm on my 3rd week of running (training for NYC marathon) with the shoes, and couldn't be happier with the purchase. PS...still the same size. Glad they didn't change the specs of the shoe.

I love these shoes. They provide nice stability and cushion without undue bounce. They are great for logging the miles without tearing up your legs.

I weigh 205 with neutral gait running about 25 miles a week, love the support and fit of this shoe. Even the provided insole is good. A minor point, but I enjoy the colors they provide instead of the usual blue or grey running shoe. Toe box is good, heel is secure, and arch support is excellent. I have experienced no "hot spots" around the collar or ball of foot. I recommend.

I had a pair of ASICS GT-1000s for a few years and these have been a great replacement. Feet feel comfortable and supported, and the shoes are surprisingly lightweight. Overall very pleased and worth paying the high price tag.

I'm a uk size 11.5 (with very wide feet) and got these in a size 13, very nervous at first about looking like a clown, but these don't look that big, and was happily surprised with the fitting and as my first ever pair of running shoes as an adult, really pleased with the weight, comfort and looks!

Do not go run right away. Make sure to walk around for awhile and break them in. Other than that, they are great and bright!
