Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Shoe is good quality, a tad heavy, but i had no idea the back of the shoe was going to look like a flashy set of chrome rims...

As a now former Kayano advocate I was really looking forward to this new pair. I think they are really just an average shoe now, come across as cheap and the sweet firm ride I remember just was not there for me.

My shoes are a lot more comfortable after being broken for three weeks of use. Loosening the middle laces helped with the width discomfort from the arch stability design of the shoe. The front midsole is wearing excessively for less than a month of use other than that it's a good shoe. I guess I better check the shoe warranty about this early midsole wear.

The shoes are a little stiff. The top of the right pushes into my foot.

The most comfortable snickers I ever owned but the bottoms have already melted after 2 months.

I'm a huge fan of the kayanos and owned the 22,23,24,25 and loved them. This 26 fits differently and I'm not in love with it...hope the 27 fixes the narrow issue I've read about on other reviews.

This is my 10th pair of Kayanos. Laces are different, stretchy and seem to over tighten easily. I do no like the outer heel. I have a bad heel strike and now there is a gap right where my heel lands so it feels uncomfortable and is wearing out too fast. Other then that they are great.

Great shoe but the the insoles are very cheap. You will need to buy your own.

Nice running shoes as always, but for whatever reason these size 11 shoes are smaller than usual. Why change the size after not changing anything for almost 2 decades? How can I trust this brand in the future?

I have owned several pair of Asics with good luck and this pair the arch supports are not as good as others and the right shoe is almost like there is no support.

Nice an light, which might be better for those doing longer distances with them. Wide enough toe box and locks in my heels nicely. Just prefer the feel of the gt2000 7 overall, more heel cushion and arch support for myself. Can't attest to longevity yet as it's only been a month or so which is why I giving them only 3 stars. If they last then I'd give them 4 stars

These are my 5th straight pair of Kayanos. Think I'll try something else next time. Feel the build is going backwards, not advancing. I do 3x 3 mile jogs/week. Not an athlete but want a good shoe. 26 isn't it.

Shoe strings falls apart easily, they are of very low quality. One must avoid tie and untie them often

Shoes were good, however the color was not what shows on the web site. Looking for grey but got sent a bluesh.

The toe box runs really small. I had to buy 14s, as the 13s I have always worn were painfully tight. I hope they fix this in the 27.

I dont understand with each step that is taken in these shoes they squeak. It is enough to make me not purchase another pair

Not the same as older models , heel doesn't feel the same . Not sure what the deal is . this is my 6th pair of Kaynao never had this problem before .

The shoes look great and are very comfortable but I don't feel they have a lot of support. My feet seem like I'm standing on air balloons. I would like a shoe with more support for working out at the gym.

Ordered siz 10.5 , think I have size 11 . If not, then the sizing is slightly bigger than all the previous ASICS size 10.5's I've ever had . Only done 20 miles in each pair but apart from the sizing , so far so good

Bookings and delivery process were smooth. I also liked the amount of comprehensive information on the site not just about these shoes, but about selection for running shoes in general. The shoes are light, good cushioning on the heel. I expected more arch support though. The reason I'm giving a lower rating is because I've barely used it for 2 weeks now, mostly for walking, and the upper is frayed. I'm very surprised at this as it makes me wonder about quality. I didn't expect this for a premium product.

Before this, i purchased 2 pairs of GEL KAYANO 25, I used them both, one pair on Sundays and Wednesday the other on Fridays and Mondays. Very comfortable with the right stability but the sole deteriorated after only 150 to 160 accumulated miles. Other shoes have lasted at least 300 miles . Have not used the 26 yet

Nice and confortable but after 160 miles the back sole disintegrates

Trainers are very comfortable. The problem was the picture on the website the trainers looked darker , the gel was a bit faded, and there was a piece of plastic or glue that was sticking out From the top of the gel that I cut of . Other than that trainers are very good
