Excellent shoe! And the color for the extra wide shoe is much prettier this year.

I bought these shoes having not tried the gel range before, and I'm so glad that I did! They are unbelievably light-weight, so perfect for running/Zumba but also for lifting at the gym. I naturally have wide fit and I find that unlike a lot of brands, my arch is incredibly supported. My feet are not tired after a day of work, which is always a bonus. Can't recommend enough!

My third pair now. As an overpronator, and someone trying to lose weight, these are so comfortable, and so supportive. I never feel any strain on my foot, and it's a good landing without feeling in any way too soft or squishy.
Makes everything else feel like clogs!

My first Kayano was Kayano 18 & l love it. The next Kayano I bought is Kayano 25. Since then I bought Nike Vipromax flynit & Adidas Ultraboost but the best & most comfortable is Asics Kayano...for running & work out at the gym. I still go back to Kayano

I have very arthritic hips and back. The cushion in these shoes are excellent and has helped to reduce the "jarring" pain I get with each step I take. Very comfortable shoes!

I am 39 y.o. and run 5 to 20 miles per week. Asics have always fit me well, but this pair creates hot spots on my little toes. Not a big deal, but kind of frustrating. As shoes go, these are kind of ugly. Honestly wish I had gone with a cheaper option

I like the fit of this shoe for someone with a high arch and who also needs a roomier toe box. Great cushioning. Great looks although while wearing, I think the lime green strip could have been smaller in width and would have made the shoe look even better

OK, I really like these shoes. This is my second pair. They are very comfortable, no break in needed, and stylish. However, the only reason these don't get 5 stars, is the sole doesn't appear to be very durable. I've only worn them for approx a week and the sole is already wearing. I've done most of my running on a treadmill (not sure if that has anything to do with it), and a smooth spot is appearing already.

I primarily bought these shoes,due to their color scheme. However they're comfy but a little too squishy for me. I'm a little past my prime for a lot of running. Nonetheless I plan on putting them to the test though.

The 26s are much better than the new 27s. ASICS really screwed those up. Hope the 28s are better or I'll be switching brands.

Great shoe... one flaw... material wears out where your toes flex. Cross-hatching mesh is low grade!!!!!!!

I've only had them for a few days good arch support better than nike and reasonably priced. I have four pair going back to the kayano 12.

I've been wearing more cushioned shoes to run in the recent past and the K26 sturdiness makes me miss it a bit. Aside from that, a welcome variation to my traditional Nimbuses.

A little uncomfortable at first, but after couple miles of use, they're great. Use for walking; ordered 2 pair. Would have rated 5 stars if not for initial uncomfort.

This is a comfortable shoe, great for my flat feet. The only knock is that there is a slight tear on the bottom of my shoe after only putting about 50 miles on them, half of them being on a treadmill.

The running shoes fit well, true to size. They are comfortable and have a nice look. The only reason I only gave four stars is the thickness of the tongue.....could be ticker and the shoe laces as they could be of better material, however; I have not tried the second pair of laces which came with it, yet. When running marathons, I always used Asics shoes. They make great shoes and the quality seems consistent.

They give good support. The soles wear down in 6 months. The width on these is a little wide.
