Better than even Nike, Kayano 26 is the most comfortable shoe I have ever had, period. And this is coming from a 40 year old who has tried every brand over the last 30 years. Asics is secretly the best shoe brand out there, try them on and never go back.

Without question the Gel-Kayano 26 is the best running shoe I've ever owned.

Been my everyday shoe since 2009. (25 pairs?) The perfect amount of cushioning and stability. If you land on the outside back corner of your heel, I highly recommend these shoes. Worth every penny.

These shoes provide enough cushion and durability for my son in winter track and my husband's long runs.

This is my second pair of Kayano-26 and this is one of the most comfortable pair of Kayanos that I have worn!

Old flat foot runner bought this shoe to replace old GT1000. Very comfortable and after multiple runs, it is my new 'go to' shoe. The base feels more stable and has reduced my sudden ankle rolls. I'm not much of a gambler but this one paid off!

So comfortable right out of the box. The gel made in heaven. Walking on these shoes is truly what heaven will feel like, if I get there.

I've been buying the Gel-Kayano since version 8 (I think), and I have not found a brand that I have been as pleased with in terms of over-pronation support. I've tried Brooks, Nike, Adidas, and others, but I always come back to old faithful. From laces to keeping the heel in the shoe, this shoe is second to none.

This is my 2nd Gel Kayano, I purchased it because I had such a good experience with the previous pair (Kayano 25), which I used for over 2 years (I run about 15-20 miles/week, on track or on pavement). Asics Gel Kayano shoes are by far the best running shoes I have owned and they are worth the hefty price. They do run small, so I always get 0.5 or 1 size larger, best to try them on first to determine the best fit.

Very comfortable for long distance running . The only thing I would mention is for European consumers to pay attention to the size when buying from the USA site. Usually I have a 42 EU size = 9 US, but for ASICS I should take 9,5 US

Probably the most versatile shoe you could wear in the gym. Great for running because of how light weight and comfortable they are. But, unlike most shoes I like running in, these have a firm enough heel that allows me to squat and deadlift fairly heavy without feeling the cushion of the shoe move much.

Haven't run in a Kayano I a long time, but this shoe is a great one. Fit and cushion comfort are very nice. Good looking as well. Been running forty years. Most of them in ASICS.

Very happy with these shoes. Fits right and I have been happily pain free in my feet since returning to the Kayanos. If you are an over pronator like me, these are a godsend.
