They are great. Perfect combination of support and cushioning for my feet. I normally wear size 9 and I ordered a size 9 online. Fits well.

It's odd to get this excited about shoes, but I absolutely love them! My first time trying ASICS & these shoes will almost certainly make a return customer of me. We'll see how long they endure, I've had them for a couple weeks now and already putting some mileage on them, which is a good thing! Definitely feeling the difference between these and what I'm used to. Just did another 10 miles today and felt like I could have kept going. Based on the experience so far, I'd highly recommend them.

There is just no better shoe on the market, than the Gel-Kayano 26. Simply the best ever!

Great all-purpose shoe for those of us with mild over-pronation. Better grip and lateral support than the previous version with a snug fit for comfort and stability. Lasts much longer than other comparably priced running shoes so good value for money.

They have a nice consistent bounce and my heels which are sore usually the day after running have felt great!

From the early days of 35-40 miles a week to current times of 15-20 miles per week (of easy slow runs) .. My go to running shoe. Always know what going to show up. .

These are the most comfortable and supportive shoes I've ever had. ASICS have been my favorite brand for many years, and this model is the best yet. The sole is very comfortable. I mainly use these for walking. I bought a whole size bigger than what I buy in heels, sandals, etc., and the fit is great.

Needed new running shoes and I'm glad I purchased these shoes. Will keep buying this type of style again. Also, I'm really glad I chose the white/black color they look amazing in person.

I started buying Kayano for my son about 3 years ago. He is a mechanic and is on his feet on concrete many hours a day. He loves these. Says they are very comfortable. They are a bit pricey but worth every penny according to my son. I usually purchase 3-4 pair a year for him.

So far Ive only put 15 miles down in these and already they are the best pair of trainers I have ever had. I have severe supination on my left foot, I've never found a pair of shoes that prevent pain in the ankle after about 5 miles, these do and they work extremely well. Previously I've had pairs of Nike shoes which have all been over priced rubbish. Great work Asics! You have designed a shoe that allows me to run without pain and they feel extremely stable, well cushioned and comfortable. Please keep making these shoes, they are a brilliant design I will buy another pair when these have holes in them!

Fit was perfect in a 12.5 size. In a leather Mephisto oxford I wear a 12 medium i.e. 12-D. In an Allen Edmond I need a 12 E which is slightly wide. In a sneaker 12 is too small and 13 too big.
I'd also recommend:
Ecco, Mephisto, Allen Edmond, Alden, Columbia.

I'm very pleased with these Kayano 26's! I overpronate and often wear light orthotics, these have a lot of orthotic control features built into the design. Significantly, the trustic support extends forward to the point where my orthotics are posted with the firmer duomax midsole above it. The heel is reinforced with a cut out plastic shell that you don't even feel- it's a super comfortable fitting heel. Really keeps my foot aligned! I am choosing to run without my orthotics mostly because of this and that's working, my orthotics fit well though. Running wise these are proving to be easy to like. The cushioning is firm and springy, shock absorption is really high. They aren't heavy at all; the upper is a light mesh with reinforced areas, stretchy and roomy. I haven't run in ASICS for a while and am so pleased! Try these out if you're looking for a switch in feel- they are worth the cost.
