I love the shoes, but they arrived with a flaw in the left shoe's "toe cap". I am disappointed, but wearing them anyway.

Love these shoes but they already have holes forming in the toe area. ?? Never had this problem with these shoes.

I have flat feet and plantar fasciitis so my running shoe help make one of my fav hobbies bearable. Ive owned the GT, Cumulus and Nimbus and they were all great but they didn't have the size and covlor I wanted so I tried this and it's the worst. This shoe hurt my feet and I could return it since my wife threw out the box and with the pandemic they're not accepting in store returns. I had to resolve to putting an ortho pad in it and taking out the insole so I could use it a couple days while a replacement Nike Pegasus came.

I was double charged and sent two pairs of shoes. When I reached out to support they told me to initiate a return which is something I really don't have time for. So I'm stuck with 2 pairs of shoes on a system order glitch.

I wore these for years with great comfort, support and stability so I bought 4 pairs thinking that they would fit and feel the same, after receiving I noticed that it's not the same, something changed with this product,

I haven't had these shoes that long, just a few weeks. I have gotten blisters on my left ankle and foot. There is a metal piece rubbing against my foot.

Worst sneaker purchase I ever made. These sneakers were incredibly uncomfortable, way too tight in middle. I had proper size and had a prior years version which were fine as well as other pairs of Asics I use for tennis. Returned these and bought an incredibly comfortable pair of Sauconys.

I have always liked my Kayano-22 and older versions and they have been very comfortable, but this pair of Kayanos-26 seems to have a different support structure that actually hurts my feet. Very disappointed.

Comfortable but just too bright to wear in public. Particularly the bright yellow base.

I’m very disappointed in these. 90 days only used part time for running/exercise. I thought there would be some additional width, gaining from a wide width as compared to the ASICS Fujitrabuco 8s medium width. The soles have flat spotted and one of the uppers had a hole through them in just a couple weeks. Not sure I’m going this route again, I expected a lot more out of these.

I bought this a month ago and just used it for a few times before the upper part of the shoe (on the side) was torn. I have been an Asics customer always and this particular shoe didnt work out. Otherwise, it is a great fit and works well for my legs.

If they are anything like the ladies version then they are awesome! However I would not know. Charged without receiving them. Awesome.

I have been running in kayano since nearly its arrival and have been greatly pleased. The Kayano 26 is a good ride outside of mid-foot cushioning (my experience).

Unfortunately the sole is hitting my heel on the medial side and causing a blister.

Good shoes for the first couple days. After wearing them five times the sole started falling apart.
