Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

Reasonable shoes, comfortable and supportive. However they are so padded they set my feet on fire. My overpronation has been slightly supported, and I'm in far less discomfort.

Great comfort for busy feet very pleased with my purchase.

I usually wear an 11 in competing brands such as Adidas and Nike, so I ordered a 11.5 to be safe and, they were very short. I re ordered a 12.5 and the are just right.

So I'm going to have to give it a middle of a road review here. While I can't complain on how it runs, definitely seems to have some issues of lace bite. First time I've ever run into that with an Asics, but we will have to see how the shoe holds up as the miles pile up.

Comfortable. Great fit. Excellent support. Two stars off for durability. Outer mesh above big toe was torn after foot lightly brushing past lower edge of a table. So disappointed. Shoes are ruined after single wear.

I run 3-4 times a week. 2-3 miles. I bought these to replace my old ASICS that had worn down in support. Unfortunately these don't provide enough arch support. Ended up having to purchase inserts.

First time I bought a 12.5 as the 12 were to small, but 12.5 too wide in front. They are not very comfortable but I have already worn them.

The shoe is comfortable, but it squeeks when landing on the heel which is annoying when trying to enjoy the outdoors.

my expectation was greater for so much money I paid

I only get Kayano's for work and I'm kinda disappointed by the heel in this pair it feels like it gives way when I walk. I work at a hospital so I can't return them so I'll just work through it. Love the colors a lot!

The fit was not my typical fit for Kayono. Been purchasing since Kayono 18. These 26's are very lose around the toes/ front of foot.

For the price I paid, it's a good shoe. Not a great shoe and not helping the way I hoped it would. I love ASICS but I probably won't buy the Kayano again.

Either my feet got smaller in the last year or the new size 8 and 1/2 is larger than it was previously.

I have been wearing size 8 1/2 ASICS gel kayano forever. This is the first time that my new pair I found the size to be off. It fits snugger.

Too much mesh fabric, easy to puncture with toes. Or holes on side by foot. Deliver for Amazon and putting shock absorption to the test, feels good on joints and my back. But the Mesh fabric is the worst and it drives me nuts personally. Feels flimsy. Happy Shopping!

Shoes had a good fit and stylish. Sole not supportive enough for me, too soft and "squishy".

I have been wearing the Asics Kayano shoe for years. I have always been satisfied with them. The last two pairs I bought seem to be wearing out way to quickly. The 26s I bought arrived on April 25. They have about 93 miles on the shoe and are showing signs of wearing out. I doubt they will last for another 100 miles. I feel like these should give me at least 400-500 miles. The same happened with the 25s I had before these. I would love to get a response back on whether this is normal.

The delivery was great they came on time but the problem I have got the trainers I was sent does not looks same as the ones what I ordered.the ASICS emblem on the side It's just printed on the ones on the picture looks like it's an embroidered one like on my ones I got from Miami they are a ASICS gel -kayano 26sps Which stick out.

Fit was unusually tight for a size 13 shoe. Almost sent them back. Decided to wear them to see if they would break in a bit. That helped, but I'm still rather shocked at how snug they are for a size 13.

Didn't have near the cushion I was expecting. The Hoka One One I had felt much better initially. Support seems good. Will have to get some miles out of them for the cost, but my feet weren't near as happy as I thought they'd be.

Put 78 miles on these. Support is there but a little lacking. The fit has been a great improvment the last two versions. Wish the midsole would hold better. Have ran in kayano's since version XI with that version and version 14 the best. I see that the Kinsei has been retroed. Please asics if there's a shoes that needs to be brought back as a retro please!! bring back the kayano XI .
