Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 26

This shoe was soft and cushy with plenty of support and gracious spring, but the toe box was cramped and unfriendly to my feet. Not sure if Wide was an available option and if so the colors are usually limited to ugly. Returned and was refunded.

Disappointed the kayano 25 is a better fit. Much more comfortable

This shoes really not comfortable to wear. The arch pops up and hurts every time I wear them. Stay away from them. Thank you.

i only used this shoes indoors and only walk 3 miles a day. After two weeks the sole started to break on one shoe.

Received sneakers with ink stains all over. Do not recommend

I am giving these as a gift and just opened the box...the sneakers are DIRTY! For the price of these sneakers it was not worth it to have to clean them when I got them. Are you selling used shoes?? I don't understand.

These shoes literally shredded my feet on a 6 mile run. Had the road not been too hot, I would have taken the shoes off and thrown them away and returned home barefoot. I am sure the quality is typical ASICS (high quality), but I will never know as the shoes will never be worn again.

Size has changed. I've been wearing these Asics for 15+ years and every time I just rebuy they same shoe. Always loved them. The new pair I bought are too small. Turns out Asics changed the way they size shoes and I should have bought a larger shoe. Changed to a different brand.

First time in 20 years that shoe didn't fit. Your manufacturing has issues - this show was smaller than all of my other ASICS Kayano shoes. Order same shoe every year. My first pair of kayano 26 which I wore for a year was slightly small. This pair I ordered was at least one half to one whole size smaller than even that shoe.

The shoe was short in the toe causing toes to rub had to return it, My older GEL-KAYANO 25 fitted perfectly.

My first intro to the gel kayano line was with the 25s. I loved them. The 26s offer significantly less correction for overpronation, and squeak when I walk. I do not recommend, and will only give this line of shoe one more version to see if it gets back in line. Asics: why do you have to mess with something that works??

So i reviewed these shoes before and said i thought i had a defective shoe and turns i do but asics will not warranty them under the defect warranty. So no i do not recommend these and will never buy another asics product again. I got photo proof of the defect but dont know to post it in this review. It is not this exact color it is the platinum version.

Ordered 4 different pairs from the website, each got cancelled as they were 'out of stock' yet still available to order!!

Very comfortable shoe and good for running, just not good quality. I'm a big fan of ASICS but this shoe did not live up to the reputation of the brand because the toe is already falling apart on both shoes.

Bought these to try to save some money instead of buying my usual Nike's. Word of advice you get what you pay for, spend the extra money and buy something better. As the saying goes, "buy it right or buy it twice".

I bought these at a price and Ascics canceled - no lie

Purchased 5 of these shoes during pandemic, the shoe have all separated at the toe. Never had this problem with ASICS.

WONDERFUL SHOE! Fits a larger foot, size 15, perfectly. Yes he is a runner, just has big feet, welp?!

Many Asics Gel Kayano 26 have a product default. It feels like there's a bar or lump in the sole of the midsection, just past the toe area. Running on it is painful. Many others have this issue too. Skip Kayano 26. Not worth it at all.

These were larger than my other Kayano-26 and so I returned them.

Gel -Kayano 26 Worst Kayano shoe ever. The fabric this shoe is made out of is very cheap. I have never had a Kayano shoe fabric rip on both the left and right shoe n the same area, ever! I have worn this model of shoe for over 10 years. This shoe should have never ripped in 6 weeks of normal walking/running 3 days a week. Skip purchasing this years model.

In adding more support to the foot (which is great), you didn't adjust the side height to compensate for the change. And now the support on the sides is just not there. It feels like my foot only has half the side support. I hate the way these feel.

Hard to give a rating when I never got the shoes. My purchase went through then was cancelled for whatever reason! My past Kayanos have been great shoes that is why I was ordering a new pair.

did not fit left foot to tight. this box was opened before being sent to me. have used Kayanos for 15 years. always online

Sizings run extremely small, much smaller and narrower than same size of the Kayano 25. Would have returned them if I could have.
