Good shoe, firm support, but more narrow than I expected compared to my other ASICS.

So far so good. I have had it for a couple weeks now. Haven't done much running in it, but it seems to be holding up. But i have to test it more in running/jogging

It has been a few years since I last purchased G-K. Still comfortable but seems a bit narrower

A solid running shoe. I've done about 12 miles in these so far and I'm pretty happy. They weren't too stiff out of the box and were broken in after my first run (3.3 miles). Size was a little smaller than expected but still fit.

Comfortable, light, and good cushioning, but the sole material seems to be wearing rather quickly.

Light, supportive, and comfortable. The toe cap is also the worst that I have ever worn and crinkles from merely placing your foot in the shoe.

Previously have had the Gel Nimbus shoe, and found that to be more comfortable at the EU 44.5 size than these new Gel Kayano 26 EU 44.5 size. I suspect that with the (E) extra wide fit having gone, my ideal shoe which would be Kayanon (E) size EU 44 no longer exists. That said this is still an incredibly comfortable shoe to run in, however I feel that if I were to buy again I'd opt for the Nimbus at size EU 44.5.

Very good fit. Styling and color are good. I wish it had just a bit more cushioning as this pair seems to have a little less than my old pair and my experience with earlier models of the Kayano. Shoe provides good stability and I hope it wears at least as long as my others. It continues to be a great shoe for walking or running.

I am a huge gel-kayano fan. Have been buying them for over 10 years as they come up with new models. This model is comfy, however, I'm always a 9.5 and feel that the toe box is slightly more snug, which is fine for only walking but when I do my workouts and perform more impactive moves, I find that my big toe is rubbing against the front. So I should have probably gone with a size 10. For years 9.5 was just fine so not sure what has changed. I'm still a huge fan though. Great support for my lis-franc injury.

These shoes are stable, comfortable and durable. I have enjoyed them and expect many more runs in the future with them. have produced a good mid-range shoe for the regular jogger.

This is my 1st pair of kayano's. The 1st couple of wears I wasn't that impressed (they felt kind of heavy to me) but by the 3rd run or so I was sold on the comfort of them. So far on the short term I like them and would recommend them.

Great sneaker Be careful of size. They run small. I should have bought a 10, though 9.5 is my size.

basically the same review as the pair that came with this pair. These do fit better and are more comfortable than their order mate. Choices in color and size are becoming fewer options. These do fit better although the color is stands out more. Fit and comfort are better than the same shoe that I ordered in the same size but different color. I don't understand it, but am just glad to have new shoes that do not kill my feet all day long!

I like the sneaker but reserve judgement fully until I see how it wears. I have been disappointed by previous Asics sneakers developing holes around my big toe alarmingly quickly. This one seems reinforced in the right spot, but only time will tell.

It is very flashy and I don't think it will appeal to most who would purchase it for a running shoe. It is definitely a " street shoe" and for fashionistas. Many might say it looks cheesy and cheap. The "platinum trim" is overdone and looks cheesy and cheap. Down grading an otherwise great running shoe. OH the extra pair of glitter laces was a joke!

Good enough for running out in summer. Do not feel hot after 30min running.

Very comfortable and suitable for wearing as casual, alongside running. Pleased with the full black option, where the new Kayano-27 has additional colour on the trim.
