Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Are very light and comfortable although they tend to deform a little at the top

The Kayano series has been my go to shoe since I first wore them. They have a wide/deep toe box which is especially necessary for my feet.. wish I could find additional Asics models that fit equally as well.

It looks that there is room for design sharpening.

Good quality and very comfortable. Good support over long distance

I love the shoes - actually have 3 pair. However they wear / tear on the inside ankle for some reason.

I get new Gel-Kayano every 6 months. The 26 seem narrower than the earlier versions. Besides that I think they're the best shoe on the market. I've tried other brands and ended up with foot or knee pain.

Comfortable shoe. Improvements suggested are 1) Could be lighter, Little wide across toes, I have a shallow crease on one shoe!, 3) Platform could be less wide, ~1/8" each side. My best Asics ever was Gel Nimbus 19

Very good shoe! They feel more stable than cushion and they are very good for walks. The color is a good combination. The only odd tjing is the laces, they are limp.

I have been wearing the Kayano for years and I love their support. I am wondering what changed with the tread as my last pair showed wear very quickly and I've had to buy a new pair after just 200 miles. I see the 27s I just bought have the same tread design. These are expensive shoes and it will be difficult to keep buying them at this rate. Otherwise I love the shoe.

The soles of the shoes don't seem to have the same cushion as the 25s.

Concerned that the upper two eyelets may rip like my Kayano 25's did. A simple grommet or other ripstop around these two eyelets would solve the problem. Otherwise, excellent as always.

Comfortable, nice looking, the front width is too wide. I have and average foot size 9

This Shoe is like walking on clouds. The only minor situation I have is my arch doesn't quite line up exactly in it. It's still not uncomfortable. I still love this shoe.

I've had these for about 2 months now. I was wearing some older Nikes and New Balance for power walking and they caused some serious foot issues. I've never purchased sneakers online, but was kind of forced to due to the pandemic. I read through numerous reviews and chose this model. I needed arch support and these definitely provided that. My feet feel comfortable powerwalking on pavement with moderate hills. My only gripe and it may be just me, but the tongue of the right sneaker constantly slides toward the inner right side of the sneaker and every so often I have to stop walking and pull the tongue back to the center. I have the sneakers laced all the way up and all holes are accounted for even the the loop in the tongue has shoestring going through. That's the only reason I gave it four stars. But even with that little annoyance I may order another pair because they are just so comfortable for my feet.

Great shoe! But it's hard on my legs transitioning from the nimbus 21.... I'm not young anymore.. Ha!

The lime color is a turn off. What happened to the all baby blue or even all red versions - bring those back as this shoe has a gay veneer to it?

Good shoe, little too bulky. Would like the shoe to be lighter

Very good sterdy shoe, colors came out great. Over I am more than satisfied with my purchase!

These shoes are good quality, but the fit is tighter than my Kayano 18's I had for years. I still like them though.

My husband and my son got this shoe in different colors and sizes to accommodate their preferences. Overall, seems to be supportive and comfortable.

Overall a great shoe, light on the foot, great balance. First few runs are stiff in it though, so do a few short runs and on the treadmill.

I haven't run in these shoes yet but just my initial review since putting them on and wearing casually is that they are super comfortable. I can't wait to run in them.

Comfortable for running and Woking . Recommend for my friend

One thing I love about ASIC's is that the fit is always predictable and lives up to expectations. These shoes are no exception. I already have a small tear in the mesh on top of the shoe. I have no idea how it happened and am disappointed by it.
