I have bought 7-8 of these and this is the worst show i have ever bought. One shoe feels like it has a hard spot in the sole. Have had 3 weeks thinking it might just need broken in, and had faith like others it would be great pair, NOT the case! Bought two pairs and both have it. The bottom sole has a hard piece of plastic and i believe that is causing the problem. Highly recommend skipping this series! Will try to get refund

Wish I could rate, but their size tool based on other brands is way off. Have a pair of well-fitting Brooks that I used ASICS online fitting tool for, got a size recommendation, and when they arrived, were far too small for running. Was too busy to return, so now an expensive pair of walking shoes :/

This color runs 1.5 times larger than the gray pair that I purchased. Disappointing!

Really wanted more out of these shoes. Weak support / cushioning. I can feel every step. Switching back to Nike..

It has been 2 weeks and i don't have them yet. I believe the asics online ordering system is not functioning well at the moment so would caution against ordering anything at the moment

This pair shoes, in the size 13, is smaller then all other ASICS I have purchased. Has a weird fit..maybe the pair was made incorrectly?

Made extremely cheaply, absolutely no support in the front half of the shoe. Also, the soul wore out very quickly. If there was a way to give a negative star rating to this shoe this one would get a negative five. So disappointed plus they were expensive.

I have purchased Kayanos for the last 5 years. This version was so small the tongue didn't even cover my sock. Yes my foot is on the wide side but I have always been fine with the regular width. Returned and went to different brand.

Initial when I got this shoe last Sep 2019 , it was super comfortable. I use this shoe for walking and light running. For past 6 months, i hardly use bc of corona situation. But i started seeing small tear at right shoe corner to lace area and now it become almost 1.5 to 2 inchs tear. Now For past 2 months I started seeing left shoe also started with small tear like right shoe. Not sure is that product defect or model issue. Never expected $160 shoe running to wear so soon!!!

Purchased the Gel Kayano 26 shoes for a high stability running shoe. While the shoe fit great, is comfortable and has high stability, in less than 50 miles of running the soles on both shoes have separated from the shoe. It is not an issues of traction, but since the sole is tearing off the shoe no longer provides stability.

Was very disappointed in this shoe. Fit was true to size. Looked nice. Reviews said it had arch support. There was none. Like wearing a flat slipper. Shoe was very lightweight and flimsy.

Very comfortable, but the sole is already falling apart after a month of light use... If the shoes were more durable, they would be great... But I wouldn't recommend buying these shoes to anyone... I'm very disappointed with my experience.

The shoe ripped after 2 weeks. I reached out to Asics, and I still have not heard back from them.

I ordered these for my husband for work, since he usually wears the GEL-KAYANO 25s (and loves them!) but they are discontinued. These are not as comfortable as the 25s and are causing my husband's feet to hurt during his work day.

Be cautious about the size!! The size of the K 26 is 1/2 smaller than the previous Kayano's
I mine 11 back to replace for an 11.5 and now it seems that I have to pay $13 more??
I think I'm going to try the new carbon NIKE's

These look different than previous Kayanos, they also feel different. I used '23 for several years and they worn out. Thought I'd replace it with these, but it didn't feel right, and after a few runs I gave up. They still provide great support but they seem stiffer, less comfortable, I feel impacts more, somehow really hard on my feet to the point that I also get cramps while running. I found and bought an older Kayano 24 and that one was just as great as '23 (and also looked almost the same). I am getting another '23 while I can still find them, and returning these.
