Good to see someone review some stability shoes! I’ve been using GT1000-7 for 18 months or so and bought some Brooks GTS 19 yesterday. Tend to find my asics maybe haven’t last as long as I’d like.
Thanks Greg :) I completely agree, there doesn't seem to be enough stability shoe reviews by actual runners, on TH-cam. I'm sure you'll find the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19 shoes really comfy. I have 400km in mine so far and they are still going well. I normally get around 800km in my Asics shoes before I replace them but I've never tried the GT1000-7.
Used to run in those all the time. Loved them.
They really are a great all rounder aren't they.
I wear these for work (have metatarsalagia in one foot). Very comfortable for being on my feet for 9 hours.
Thanks Jason, glad they help with your metatarsalagia. They certainly are a very comfortable shoe.
great review, man!
Thank you, appreciate the comment
The video was interesting and not boring to watch really good information
Thank you very much :)
Nice to see you actually running in the shoe.
Thanks David, you'll always see a bit of running footage in my shoe reviews. Also, I generally ensure I've done quite a bit of running in a shoe before I share my thoughts.
Top patika, prvi put da istrcim polumaraton, a da nisam imao bolove u skocnim zglobovima, ligamentima i cjevanicama... Top su! Hvala Asiksu♥️♥️♥️🍀🍀🍀
Sjajno je čuti da ove cipele dobro funkcioniraju za vas :)
Thanks for actually running in the shoe before the review.
Appreciate your comment. I certainly think it's important to get some distance into a running shoe before I review them and often my thoughts will change by the time I publish my review, from my first impressions.
I thought we are supposed to land on fore foot first to protect our knee? Can someone advises?
Good running form will no doubt help avoid injury. But over pronation is quite the same thing as bad running form. Over pronators like myself need some extra support whilst running to stop the foot turning inwards too much when it lands. This will also help to protect against injuries.
I tried this shoe at a store and after the other shoes it just felt a lot more comfortable. I tend to overpronate as well so I needed to get this as it was 40% off.
That sounds like you got a great deal!
@@HereWeAreRunning Yeah I was really surprised to find it as it was a store-only deal. Really happy that I got them as I had been looking at them for a while.
@@RCmies Yeah they are a great show. Just the right mix of support, comfort and responsiveness. I'll be do some future videos where I compare them against similar shoes by other brands, so if you aren't already subscribed to the channel, you may want to consider doing so to make sure that you don't miss my future videos 😀
Im in love 😍🥇 nice color
Yes it's a great shoe and I love the colours as well :)
In my opinion the Kayano 26 is the best version in about 5-6 years. I found previous versions to fit poorly, have really tight and narrow toe boxes, lack cushioning, as well as lacking stability. Basically Asics forgot what the Kayano is supposed to be. A max cushioning, high stability shoe particularly made for larger/heavier runners. A heavier shoe weight was always an accepted part of the bargain in exchange for those characteristics. Asics got away from that, yet the shoe was still heavy, and fit like a ballet slipper squeezing the forefoot area like you were wearing skinny jeans. The 26 was a big step in the right direction; looking forward to the 27 coming very soon !
I'm just reaching 500 miles in my Kayano 26 shoes, so also really looking forward to the 27 coming out and to see how the shoe has evolved this year. Like you I found the 26 better than what came before it (I've only had experience of the 24 and 26) but hope that the 27 is a further step forward in the right direction.
Hi, thanks for the great review. Would you say these shoes fit true to size or would you recommend sizing up or down? Cheers
Thank you. I would say that they fit true to size. I normally take UK size 11 and that is what I wear in the Kayano.
that really helped. thanks
No problem, glad my review helped.
Awesome review. I have the 24s, and still using them, but I'd like to upgrade. Had a very good feeling in them first and still do. They don't look like they change the designs that much from the last few years despite the small technological differences in foam and all that in my opinion. I'd definitely like to get a 25 to save some money though, haha.
Great review, I like how you talked about your experience with the 24s. I've never tried Brooks but if you're happy with one brand then there's not much reason to change, right?
Just wondering if you had any advice with helping alleviate shin splint pain that I sometimes get when running with Gel Kayano? Maybe I need orthotics? Anyway, my issue not yours!
Subscribed!
Thanks for your comment Anthro and also for subscribing. I'm afraid I've never had shin splints so don't really have any specific advice. I would say that since I've started rotating several different brands/models of shoes, I think it helps to reduce injury. There is a video on the channel about shoe rotation, if you want my thoughts on this. Also, the Kayano 27 is due for release in the Summer so you should start to see reductions on the 26 - opportunities for a bargain could be coming soon.
I too run in 24 alongwith Nike Vomero 13 and Nike Pegasus 35. All 3 are about 2 years old. So, need a new shoe. This one (26) looks good as it is available at a discount in India, currently.
Hi Chris I m wondering, since you did a video about replacing shoes with this shoe in hand, how many km/mi did you have on them at that point?
I retired these at 800km / 500 miles. The inside of the heel material was starting to break down and I felt the area where I heel strike was wearing down too much. But I was happy with that sort of distance. It's what I aim for when I replace my running shoes but everyone is different. Some runners will get more and other less, depending on a number of factors.
I do overpronate and struggling between the Nike Peg37 and Kayano 26. What do you suggest? I love that bouncy feel of Nike’s and never tried a ASICS before. What do you’ suggest? I have switched between Nike Peg and Adidas ultraboost all the time. Wanted to try out something different this time. Thank you for your videos and suggestions.
As an overpronator myself, there is a reason that I don't own any Nike running shoes. I think they make some great shoes for neutral runners but they really don't focus on having a good shoe for us runners that need some stability. The Pegasus 37 is a neutral shoe so I wouldn't recommend running in it if you overpronate. The Kayano 26 is a good stability shoe. In fact it has a lot of stability features which are ideal if you overpronate a lot. Another stability shoe that I really get on well with is the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 (see video). It uses guiderails to provide the support. If you can, try them both on in a running shoe shop and see what you think. Ideally get a gait analysis where they'll film you in slow motion when you are running in the shoes and advise which is better for you.
Which shoes are better for long hours of standing? Asics gel kayano or brooks adrenaline gts? I suffer from plantar fasciitis too..
Brooks Adrenaline GTS 19 is more cushioned than the Asics Kayano so I'd probably the Brooks.
I am looking to get my first pair of running shoes. I run about 15 miles every week so nothing major. I was looking at asics 360 quantum gel but I heard bad reviews would the kayano 26 be better than the 360 quantum gel??
As a new runner, one thing I'd suggest is to get a gait analysis done to see whether you need a neutral or stability running shoe. The Asics Kayano 26 is Asics premium stability running shoe and has lots of features to keep your foot stable if you are an overpronator like me. It's certainly a shoe I'd recommend for runners that need stability. I've not tried the Quantum or heard much about it.
asics FOREVER !!!!!😍😍😍
#AsicsFan :) :)
I still run in my keyanos 23!! 🥺👀 Lol time for the upgrade
Don't think you'll be disappointed. I never had the 23s but I like the 26s far more than the 24s.
thats why im here too.. looking to replace my 23s
@@NiazDokrat The 26s are a great replacement, although if you are looking at alternative running shoes with some stability, I'll have a review of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 coming out soon...
@@HereWeAreRunning I too am using 24. Time to upgrade
How does the Gel 26 Kayano compare with the Asics Glideride Chris?
I've never tried the Glideride but main difference is that the Kayano 26 is a Stability shoe and the Glideride is a Neutral one but having said that the reviews I've seen say that for a neutral shoe, the Glideride does provide some support. But I wouldn't say that the Kayano is suitable for neutral runners because it uses a medial support to provide the stability. Everyone I know who owns the Glideride, raves about them and I know that if I was a neutral runner, I'd definately buy some. If you are looking for a support shoe though, I'd certainly recommend the Kayano 26.
Im not much of a runner. Just bought the nike zoom fly fk last month and it was amazing with its react foam and the carbon fibre plate. It was an impluse buy as the shoes were on sale and it looked and felt amazing at the shop. However, it didnt provide much support for my flat feet when i went for my runs. My bad for buying it before doing any research.
So i bought the kayano 26 early this week as its supposed to be a great stability shoe. I have to say that my landing felt much better and im more confident that it wont give my any long term injuries. But i kinda missed the react foam in my zoom fly as it definitely helped propelling me forward in each stride.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Personally, I've not run in Nike shoes. Why is that? Because their focus is making shoes for neutral runners. They have a very small selection of stability shoes and when I've tried them I didn't like them at all. For stability shoes, brands like Asics, Brooks and New Balance are my top choices. I hope one day, one of the brands will put a carbon fibre plate in a stability shoe. I'd love to see the difference that would make.
@@HereWeAreRunning do you know any stability shoes with propelling foam like the react? As someone who's only started running, any little help in propelling me forward would be great. 😄
My latest shoes are the New Balance Fuelcell Prism. They've got lots of bounce. Review video of the hopefully coming out next week.
I'm a neutral runners who tend to have a high arch foot, and I know Kayano is a stability shoes for runnes who have low arch and overpronate. Is it ok for me to use a stability shoes or not really? Thank you
If you are a natural runner looking for a bit more support from a stability shoe I'd consider the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 due to its guiderails. I have a video of that shoe which explains why.
I’m also a fan of ASICS. I’m using the GT 2000 6 and love them but I’ve managed to wear a small hole in the upper mesh with my big toe ☹️. Does the Kayano 26 have a more robust toe box? Or can you recommend a shoe that does Chris?
Hi Daniel - I've never owned a pair of Asics GT 2000 however I had exactly the same issue that you described with both pairs of Asics Gel Luminus 2 (no longer made) that I previously ran in. They were a great shoe but developed a small hole on the upper mesh where my big toe was. I've not had that problem with either the Kayano 24 or the Kayano 26. The mesh in the Kayano looks to be much better quality than those older Asics shoes I used to run in. I'd certainly recommend the Kayano 26 especially if you are an Asics fan :)
Ive had the same with my GT 2000’s. Their breathable but get holes too quickly :/.
Getting the Kayano’s too :)
@@HereWeAreRunning
I had a hole to my nimbus 16. Wondering about the same thing here.
My friend my Kayanos developed holes too. Get some gorilla tape and put a square of tape on the inside sticking upwards. where your toe rubs the material. This will prevent that. It fixed it for me. And my kayanos lasted way longer without no holes
@@waltdisneypixar please check my comment below about the holes.
I already bought kayano 26 n i have a high arch... I have cumulus 21 too... Is wearing kayano can give me any injury cz its a stability shoes n i have a high arch.
I would suggest getting a gait analysis to see which shoe is best for you. If you don't overpronate then personally I wouldn't get the Kayano but if you do then it's a very good stability shoe.
I have complete flat foot. There is very little formation of arch. And i am in need of a shoe for physical exercises, sprints and cross country running. Would these shoes be a good fit ? Also, is there any difference between the GEL-KAYANO 26 PLATINUM and GEL-KAYANO 26 ? Please do answer
According to Asics, the Gel Kayano 26 is suitable for runners with flat feet. It's a stability shoe with plenty of cushioning and in my opinion it's idea if you overpronate and want a shoe for running longer distances or every day type of runs. It's relatively heavy so not the best for speed workouts. For cross country, I guess it depends on the type of course. I run on hard trails in my Kayano's but if it's muddy, I'd put on my trail shoes. The difference between the Gel-Kayano 26 and the Gel-Kayano 26 Platinum just seems to be costmetics. The Platinum is a special edition in a different colourway. I'd expect the technology and features of the shoe to be the same.
Had this shoe for about 8 months. This shoe has good stability I guess but not enough cushioning. Overall the foot feels really fatigued after using this shoe for over 5K runs. If you are over 45 years old you might want to look for more cushioning from a shoe. Also running with this shoe gives you slightly slower pace compared to the Nike Vaporfly for example.
Thanks for sharing your views on the shoe. I'm always interested to hear how other runners find the shoes I use and review. I agree that it has less cushioning than some other shoes but personally I find the cushioning about right for most of my running. But for marathons and long runs I use the Brooks Adrenaline GTS. Brooks certainly have more cushioning. I don't think Asics intend this shoe to compete with the Nike Vaporfly. That is a far more expensive shoe containing lots of technology but in my opinion is for the elites or very quick runners. It's durability means it won't last very long, whereas I can get around 500 miles / 800km in the Asics Kayano or Brooks Adrenaline GTS.
Buy nimbus 22 for cushioning..
Shaul Firon try New Balance 1080v10
@@faizfesse9906 I will explore. Thanks
I NEED A RECOMMENDATION
i want a shoe that has good cushion, that bouncy feel when I run. good support at arch and heels. when i stand. i wont run more than 8 miles. shoe weight doesn't matter
The Kayano 26 would be a good shoe for that, however they are designed for over pronators and not neutral runners.
I just bought the kayano 26 this week. Just felt that it could use a bit more bounce. Especially since i just came from zoom fly fk.
Pls note that im just a beginner. About 3k for each run.
Should I go .5 up from true to size?
For me they are true to size
Hi i am just about to purchase my third pair of these shoes,i overpronate as well, i have been using the custom made footbalance inserts from Elverys for the last few years and have never had any issue,just wondering do i need to keep using the insert or has the shoe enough support for me to run without it.
Hi James - I would have thought that custom made inserts would be designed to align your foot without the need for stability provided by the shoe but it may depend on how much you over pronate. Have you ever had a gait analysis wearing the custom insoles in a pair of neutral running shoes, o see if the insole themselves provide enough support.
@@HereWeAreRunning Hi originally i went to a sports doctor who made a pair of inserts for me that cost €250 i used these for a long time until the almost fell apart,then i started getting the cheaper inserts from Elverys for €50 which work fine i replace them every 6 months,i don't know how badly i overpronate i will take your advice and get it checked out in a pair of neutral running shoes,thanks for your advice.
@@jamesmullins7617 hi James. Just wondering if you ended up not using your inserts on the Kayano 26's? I have the same issue. Thanks James.
@@rvchanco Hi no i didn't take the chance of not using the inserts,ended up buying a new pair of Saucony Hurricane 22 shoes,wore them a few times with the inserts and then put them back in the box,they were a little loose fitting and i was getting a few aches that i wouldn't normally get,this is the problem when you can't walk into a shop and buy them,so ended up buying a pair of Asics GT-2000 8 shoes using them at the moment with the inserts no issues,think i will stick with Asics from now on.
I’m a new runner and recently purchased a pair of these shoes. However, I am experiencing some shin pain the day after I run. I’m wondering if it is from the shoe or the way I’m running?
Difficult to be sure. Have you got any other running shoes and do your shins hurt after running in those as well? Also, have you had a gait analysis done? These shoes are designed for over pronators. If you don't over pronate then the stability features may interfere with your running form. The other possibility, as a new runner, are you doing too much running too soon or trying to run too fast? Lots of new runners do this, myself included when I started running 4 years ago.
Is Asics Gel kayano 26 is marking or non-marking shoe?
I've never noticed any marking from Kayano's
What do you think this shoes for plantar fasciitis issues will it work
I'm not an expert with plantar fasciitis but if you are looking for a shoe with good cushioning and support then this shoe is worth checking out.
I have the same problem... Did you find a shoe?
364sunkissed I bought these shoes and I have been using them for a month and I feel good there is no pain and I can run in them too
*** CHECK OUT the Asics Gel Kayano 26 here: amzn.to/3fCOPJP ***
if normal guy wears stability shoes, will it hurt?
If you don't overpronate and would normally suit a neutral running shoe, then there are some stability shoes that you could wear to provide some support when your legs are tiring. But there are others like the Kayano that might interfere with the way you run, due to the stability features they contain. Check out my review of the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 if you are looking for a stability shoe that could be worn by a neutral runner.
Is this real good for road running please tell me because my friend told me that these shoes is not good for road running because shoe Healpart different type.
And my friend use ascis tartheredge running shoes plzz tell me and hepl me told me truth that wich shoes is real
Yes this is a road running shoe with lots of stability features, designed for runners who overpronate. Ideal if you are doing a lot of running and need the support.
I have a knee ligament issue. Would you recommend these or gel venture for running?
I'd certain seek professional advice about your knee injury and what shoe would suit you best. The Kayano is a Stability shoe suited best for runners who overpronate. It's designed for road/pavements. Whereas from what I can see the Venture is a trail running shoe.
Is it good for those who have got flat feet?
Yes, according to Asics it's suitable for flat feet. It's a premium stability shoe best suited for runners who overpronate. If you are unsure if you overpronate or not, I'd suggest getting a gait analysis.
Here We Are Running thanks buddy for detailed explanation
@@akiduggz No problem. By the way, I'll be getting the Kayano 27 soon and doing some videos on it, so if you aren't subscribed already you might want to, so that you get to see my future videos.
Here We Are Running yes, subscribed. Thanks.
heel striking, no bueno
Yeah, my running form isn't the best but these shoes certainly help to cushion the landing
@@HereWeAreRunning these shoes as the most of the running shoes make you heel strike more :)
ASICS GT vs gel kayano?
I've never owned the Asics GT range but did try them on before buying my first Kayano's. I preferred the Kayano but I've heard good reports of the GT-2000 as well.
Here We Are Running ok, thank you for the reply
Very bad experience also my pace went 30 s/km low. Feet become very early hot.Also I purchased Asics metarun also there is same problem . Later I purchased Nike zoom fly 3 this shoes is far better than Asics shoes. Now I m fully satisfied with Nike shoes. I wasted my Money on Asics two shoes kayano 26 and metarun.
The Kayano is a maximum stability shoe. It's all about cushioning and support on longer runs, for those of us that overpronate, rather than a faster shoe. The Zoom fly 3 is for neutral runners and would be aimed at faster runs. They are very different types of shoes, for very different types of runners.
Nice shoes, but 21st breath better.
Facebook id bataya
Brother pls give me in free think it was a giveaway and I was the winner brother pls give this one to me
vary bad shoe
Why do you say that?
