How your foot contacts the ground
The foot lands on outside of heel, then rolls inward (pronates) excessively, transferring weight to inner edge instead of ball of the foot.
Enjoy luxurious comfort and improved bounce with the men's GEL-KAYANO® 26 running shoe, featuring GEL® technology to the forefoot and rear for high-density shock absorption and a comfortable feel over long distances. Featuring a jacquard mesh upper and FLYTEFOAM® Propel technology for a lightweight quality that allows your feet to breathe, this ASICS running shoe is all about going the distance, providing exceptional support and comfort over long periods of time. The EVA sockliner offers excellent rebound and cushioning, while the Guidance TRUSSTIC SYSTEM® technology brings a new level of stability, working with the contoured midsole to help control torsion. Meanwhile, the SpEVA 45 lasting improves bounce-back characteristics to put a spring in your step (quite literally). If your feet tend to roll inwards as you run, fret not. The DUOMAX® midsole offers smooth overpronation control by combining two different density materials to reduce the risk of flat feet and bunions. Meanwhile, the AHAR® rubber sponge helps to reduce excessive wear for a longer lifespan. This edition of the GEL-KAYANO® 26 running shoe showcases a vibrant new design to inspire you to unleash your inner runner, on those days when you might need a little extra motivation, while added reflective details improve your visibility when you're out after-dark.

This shoes really not comfortable to wear. The arch pops up and hurts every time I wear them. Stay away from them. Thank you.

Magic shoes
These are the BEST sneaker for pronation issues. They need to keep this design as I’ve tried the 27s and they don’t even compare. Hope to see these back in stock on my size!!

Comfort
I have very arthritic hips and back. The cushion in these shoes are excellent and has helped to reduce the “jarring” pain I get with each step I take. Very comfortable shoes!

Poor Quality
I've been using Kayano for a long time, and I bought Kayano 26 few months ago. I put less than 200 miles within four months. I did not feel any cushion, checked the bottom of the shoes and it was damaged. Top on shoes were torn. I called customer service and followed the instructions of a claim. Asics refused to return or replace the shoes even though shoes were under warranty and bought from Asics website. I did not see the poor quality of the shoes and disappointing custom service response. Strongly recommend that do not buy Kayano as they are producing poor quality shoes.
