ASICS Men's Gel-Kayano 26 Running Shoes

I am not really that big (about 6 foot 220lbs) and have been using a certain other brand who touted their shoes for overpronators for over 12 years. I read the current reviews and decided based on those reviews to purchase a pair of Asics Gel Kayano 25 size 12 medium. I had used the original pair for about about a year until they started to wear out. The cushioning starting to thin out and holes where the big toenails come in contact. Now that I have a new pair.....wow. I have been walking on the old ones but now these are definitely the best support shoes in years. I am older now (65) and am attempting to get back into running after surgery (not running related). I feel great on the treadmill and will transition to the track shortly. Being a fairly large individual with flat feet these shoes are beautiful, not only to look at but NO PLANTAR FASCIITIS! I am in heaven. I believe that these shoes helped me heal after a severe bout of the above injury and they keep me running pain free. I have tried more than a few from other manufacturers and after running in one pair of a relatively cheaper shoe, I was in such excruciating pain that I could barely walk for a few days and suffered pain for months until I tried the Asics. I have been running since the late 60's and I wish that I had had these shoes back then. Great shoe, try it, you'll like it.

I generally do not spend what the price of this pair of running shoes is advertised at. BUT, I have a size 14 flat-foot and my ankles have my feet rolling inward. This was supposed to provide good support and be specific to the way my feet roll in. The minute I put them on and took a few steps, I was sold. They fit perfect. The support is very good. They are indeed comfortable. I wear steel-toed work boots at work which are heavy and tire my feet. These running shoes are a joy compared to them. I do a lot of walking as most of us do when going out to shop or to assorted events. These running shoes don't tire my feet out and I can get in a lot of walking. I will buy another pair when these wear out.

These shoes are amazingly comfortable and stand up to daily wear of 10-12 hours a day. My feet used to hurt after shifts at work wearing other shoes, but these were comfortable and alleviated foot pain after long shifts on my feet for 10-12 hours at a time.

I was not sure I would like buying running shoes online. However, I have had a pair of Asics previously and thought as long as I could find shoes for over pronators (my running style based on having flat feet) and a size 13 Wide, I might be okay. Well, one thing for sure is I can never find 13 Wide shoes at the store so, I settle on 13s (14s are too big) and loosen the laces. Fortunately, online Asics had 13 Wide shoes, so I bought them. However, Asics cancelled my initial order because they were not in stock. I thought I might give Asics another try and I found a pair that I liked more than the previous purchase and I received it in a timely manner. I love these shoes, they are comfortable, look good, and I cannot wait to get up in the morning and put them on to go running. I highly recommend these shoes for over pronators.

so much comfort 100%

Two star: Upper is holding up nicely. Tread is already worn out after only 70 miles. I tried ASICS because reviews talk of superior durability. So far for me upper is good, sole is not.Update: I reached out to ASICS about the tread life. After sending pictures of tread wear after 70 miles they sent code for replacement shoe from ASICS.com.That’s pretty awesome customer service in my book.So far 20 miles on new Kayano fit and finish is great.Comfort on gel-Kayano 28 is far superior to previous models.Extra wide is a touch narrow but all in all the first 20 miles is running great.

After 15 years of wearing NB 99x shoes, I have found something I like better. While the NB 99x series has been a comfortable shoe, I never got more than 6 months out of them before the sole started to smell bad and began to separate. I have been using this pair of Asics for daily wear for 5 months and they still look brand new after a gentle wash. The comfort and support is as good or better than the 993's. I am probably rougher on shoes than most people and I am amazed at how well these have held up. They are light weight and breath very well. One word of caution to anyone wearing these while climbing ladders of scaffolding. They have a very hard plastic section right in the arch on the bottom of the sole. If that hard plastic part comes in contact with metal such as a ladder rung or scaffold rail, you will slip. I still wear them doing that type of work because they are so comfortable. I just make sure to use the front or rear of the shoe where I get good grip.

I have weak ankles...always have due to clubbed foot surgeries as a child. I am not a runner, but I bought these shoes because they were recommended for ankle stability, and they did not disappoint. These are low top shoes, so they aren't actually providing support around the ankle (I wasn't expecting that they would), but the way the heal is shaped, keeps my foot/ankle in line when I take steps. The contour of the bottom of the shoe is designed to correct over pronation, and while I don't really have arch problems, the way this shoe holds my foot in place and guides my step so my ankle operates in a straight line feels very solid. I highly recommend these shoes!! Also, my wife loves the look/style of the Sheet Rock/Mako Blue colors. NOTE: These shoes fit 1/2 size smaller than other shoes, but I knew that going in, so I bought 1/2 size up.

La serie 26 actualmente es la mejor que sacó ASICS, mucho mejor que la 27 y la 28.

Ce produit est tres confortable , l’épaisseur est excellente et comme je fait du jogging il est adapté pour moi

Très satisfait de mon achat.

Only shoes that work for my runs, great support.

Big fan of the gel kayano series, having started with the gel kayano’s 21, and now with these pair of kayano 26.These shoes make you feel like you’re walking on clouds rather than on the ground and running is so much better in these shoes. These shoes really do what they are said to do, cushion your feet from the shock of stepping.These shoes are pricey and for the first couple weeks that you need to break them in, they might be a tad uncomfortable but after, it will feel amazing.Would recommend to anyone!
