Bought two pairs. Great shoes for my many morning hilly street walks but having a quality problem with one, material separating - otherwise a 5. Way better for comfort and performance combined than anything I've worn from Nike or Adidas. Thanks ASICS.

These shoes are absolutely perfect for if you are flat footed! They fit ny feet perfectly and are probably the most comfortable shoes i've worn! I took them for a walk through some rough terrain and my only gripe with them is they seen to wear easily, however this was due to a lot of off road walking and climbing which was to be expected but not this easily. It's easy to avoid this issue by not wearing them in these sorts of environments. Other than that they are 100% worth the purchase, the comfort will blow you away and they will properly support your ankle, hence it's worth paying the premium price for!

Great design. Fit on the width is tighter than normal from past Kayanos. I purchased directly online because I have had several Kayanos in the past but I would recommend trying it on in store first if possible before purchasing.

Great comfort and support.
Be wary of sizes - I used the size calculator that offers an option to ascertain your Asics shoe size from any other popular shoes you may fit well but I had to send back and order a smaller size.
Arrived within a few days and simple return service available, if necessary.
Can't wait to take them for a long run

Think look like an awesome pair of trainers. Unfortunately were too big for me and so sent back and didn't have the next size down and so went with another pair ASICS. To be fair will stick to ASICS for all my running and training shoes

The shoes are good but given my specific requirements, I returned them and bought Gel-Fujitrabuco 8 G-TX which are better for my needs.
Gel-Kayako 26 appears to be best for indoor running.

I've only been working out walking and running for a week in the new shoes. They need to be wider because I feel the tight fit around the arch in my foot. Maybe I need to break them in more. Past issues with the Kayano 25 was the midsole separation at the ball of my foot in under six months of daily speed walking. I'll see how this pair holds up and do and update on their comfort and durability.

Comfy sneakers right out of the box. Hoping for a moracle fix for my back issues. No miracle but i still enjoy them.

Great trainers, these are so comfortable and look good too. Ideal for all your running needs I can wear them immediately without any chaffing

Had been purchasing 2E and took a chance when ordering these as regular width and they feel good after a normal break in period. Toe box is supportive and stability is better than Brooks and New Balance. I went away from Asics after 25+ years to look for something better, back to stay. If you care, color has more orange (based on online picture) than yellow / goldenrod.

Great running shoe. Extremely comfortable. Making a little air escape noise when I walk which is annoying, didn't happen in any other shoes I have

Don't last long! I log about 170 miles a month and the soles wear out mid foot quick! However, great support and comfort. Plan on buying a new pair every 90 days...

these felt really comfortable. It is a shame that they were too big. Not sure what has happen with asics this yr but all trainers i tried were miles too big. Even though i always wear the same size.

Very support, quality feel, heat spot free running. Very much like the product. Sizes come in a little small and toes little crushed during first run (hence 4 stars). The 90 days trial soon sorted that out though.

Overall a good shoe. The striping feels a little flimsy (similar to Kayano 25 which for me came unglued after a few months), but shoe fit, foot support, and overall comfort remains consistent with former Kayano models.

Very comfortable fit and easy on the foot. Only thing is that they seem rather wide around the tip of the foot which creates some wrinkles when you try to lace them up to the right fit.

Very comfortable and cushioned for a heavy walker with flatter feet. Maybe not as supportive at the sides like my Gel-Sirrus were before.

So far so good. The right shoe is still tight around the soul of my feet but is probably more a function of the shape of my foot than the shoe. Since purchase it has averaged 2 miles per day of walking.

The 26 is still comfortable if you need some extra arch support from over-pronation. However, the 25 is definitely more comfortable. I hope they go back to the style of the 25 when they come out with the 27.

Great shoe I've purchased for 11 years straight. Always a great fit and no need to break in for a run. Use multiple pairs for casual and running use.

The model will fit your size as I used to buy 0.5 size bigger from Asics
