my third pair of the 26's. This pair had a shorter toe box and too short shoestrings that I replaced from an old pair.

Width is generous so measure accordingly. Materials are super rugged which is a great advantage over other brands. Consider adding a comfort insole, walk on clouds.

I'm a flat footed runner who misses the Asics Foundation, but this is the next best thing. It really is a great shoe for over pronators and flat feet.

Very comfortable, looks great too. Only thing is it's a bit heavier than I thought it would be

Great looking shoe, very comfortable. Rated 4 out of 5 stars because they are a little narrow. I'm sure once they're broken in that they will fit perfectly.

I am a beginner when it comes to walking/jogging/running and wanted a sneaker that not only was fashionable but would support my flat feet. My friends all recommended ASICS and I'm very pleased with my purchase overall. I should have maybe gotten the shoe as wide as possible, but I think once I break them in they'll feel more comfortable than they did on my first journey. I would recommend.

The shoes provide good stability and comfort. The arch support is good and a new pair of ASICS always help my legs and back to feel better.

I find ASICS shoes to be my go to shoe, esp since they come in wider widths. I recently purchased the Gel Kayano 26 (2E). At first I had an uncomfortable lump in the right shoe forefoot, that i eventually was able to resolve with repeated manual hyperflexion of the forefoot and the shoes have been great since. Never had this issue before, but now they are the usual ride I have come to expect!

Using kayano for 5 years, if you owned the 25 the fit is very similar, i was going to go with 25s again but these were similar price

Great running shoes. Very comfortable fit. What I love about Asics is that they are built to last. They may not be as soft as other brands, on the sole or in the body of the foot, but considering the cost of any running trainer - you get your money's worth.

On the road run, the Gel-Kayano 26 feels substantial and stable. This give the best support and enough cushioning to run long, the new Kayano is a trusty companion.

I wish the ASICS Kayano 26 was lighter. Love the shoe but is on the heavy side.

ASICS makes a great shoe. But I must say, they are not as cushy as stated in the description.

For someone that's had some arch issues and knee surgeries, this shoe has provided a lot of comfort and support throughout my runs. Did not have knee pains after my runs since. Shoe does tend to run a bit hot though

Extremely comfortable shoes, lots of cushioning and breathability. The toe doesn't feel as snug as usual, but might just require some breaking in

I suffer from shin splints quite a lot and it didn' get rid of all the pain after running but sure does help it reduced the pain a lot. I could tell the difference in the support and comfort as soon as I started running in them.

These are solidly ok but I am still looking for something with more arch support. With that said these are also a bit more firm than other shoes I have had in the past. Not worth returning but not the cushion I was hoping for.

I've always run in Asics shoes and have enjoyed the stability of the Keyano shoes. I find that the new 26 series has a roomier toe area, and this is nice. Also like the various color options available, and chose the Retro look. Keep up the good work, Ascis! Many more miles to run.

Paraphrasing my 14-yr old son's words: It felt tight on the front sides; not as comfortable or bouncey as the other Asics I have. The "other" being the Asics GT-1000.
