The Gel-Kayano 26 features a softer heel but retains its stability features and high-mileage construction.
The midsole at the heel has soft FlyteFoam Lyte cushioning beneath a thicker layer of visible Gel, which manifests as softer compared to the previous generation. Beneath your arch, a high-density medial post and a plastic truss prevent torsional flexion, quelling overpronation forces.
Speaking of the heel, there’s now more Gel and soft, low-density FlyteFoam Lite beneath it, giving you two additional layers of shock absorption in the rear. The medial side is designed to be much harder. A high-density medial post and a plastic truss beneath the midfoot work together to firm up the shoe against the twisting forces of an overpronating foot.
Two of our seven testers said the toe box wasn’t big enough, but the rest enjoyed the fit, noting that their feet didn’t slide laterally or back and forth within the shoe. The mesh prevented water from entering the shoe as one tester splashed through puddles, and another noted that the material ventilated efficiently during humid summer runs.Lakota Gambill
Never the company to skimp on outsole rubber, Asics lined most of the outsole with high-abrasion rubber, a compound that’s proven durable in previous. For road running, the Gel-Kayano 26 grips well, giving us confident traction on every pavement surface we encountered.
