The ASICS Gel Kayano 29 are all-round running shoes for overpronators. This MK version has a MONO-SOCK construction, which comfortably encloses the foot for better support. This 29th edition has been updated to FF BLAST PLUS cushioning in the midsole. This cushioning not only makes the shoe a lot lighter, but also gives more energy return. This ensures that this is the ideal shoe for running both short and long distances. The engineered mesh upper is made from 50% recycled materials. The heel cap is externally reinforced and ensures that the foot remains stable, even during the rollover. The OrthoLite X-55 insole gives you a comfortable feeling as soon as you put the shoe on. LITETRUSS technology prevents overpronation. The ankle and knee are stabilized by the reinforced block on the inside of the shoe. During the foot's transition, the foot is kept stable and the impact of walking is absorbed by GEL technology in the heel and FF BLAST PLUS in the midsole. This provides comfortable cushioning during the heel landing and transition to the forefoot. The outsole is provided with AHARPLUS rubber. Some more rubber has been added in strategic places for improved durability. This shoe provides good grip in both dry and wet conditions. With the Kayano 29 you can effortlessly walk long distances with the right support.

Bought a pair 3/9/24 worn 3 times and the tread is coming apart and falling off the bottom of shoe.Tried to return 3/29/2024 and I was told no because they are not in sellable condition.Sounds to me that Academy resells defective items to the next person and will not honor a 30 day return policy.Thankfully there is a Dicks Sporting Goods store close by that I will shop at exclusively from now on .Thanks for the customer service and showing you value your customers Academy ! You just lost my families business totally after this.Be careful with what you buy and make sure it is new and not a defective product being re sold !!!

I tried them on and wore around my house for a couple days and they were fine. Once I went to wear them outside and went for a 2 mile hike they were killing my feet. I tried them again for another long walk and the same thing I called the company and they said if I wore them outside, I could not return them, I'm stuck with them now And not happy. They were recommended by my podiatrist.

Absolutely love the recent rendition of this Asics classic. Great fit, mostly used for short runs/jobs and walking. The prime knit shell is the one thing I love about this shoe that stood out. Fits perfectly on my size 14 foot without any issues.
Purchased a pair on 3/9/2024. Worn 3 times for a few hours and 16 days in from purchase and the bottom tread is already coming off the shoe. I normally wear Brooks , but my local Academy Sports didn’t have the Brooks I wanted in stock so I tried these on and they were comfy and so I decided to buy.My mistake . Academy won’t return them because they are not in sellable condition (defective shoe so not sure why they need to be in sellable condition) so I won’t purchase from academy again , called to get the shoes warranteed after 16 days of ownership and ASICS sent warranty claim via email. I filled everything out sent pictures and kept getting a response that they can’t read the size tag inside shoe. Sent pictures 9 times and same response all 9 times. I gave up ... MorePurchased a pair on 3/9/2024. Worn 3 times for a few hours and 16 days in from purchase and the bottom tread is already coming off the shoe.

I gave up because it seems impossible to get them swapped out . Luckily for me I paid $99 and not the original $159 so I now lose $99 and take the hit by chucking them in the trash.I will go back to Brooks shoes and only buy them at Dicks Sporting Goods going forward. First time with ASICS shoes will be my last time buying anything ASICS as I can’t afford to replace every 2 weeks and they make it impossible to get the shoes swapped under warranty.
Here are the cons I found with this shoe with only 10K- Plenty of room in the toe box, yet my toes rub on the outside where the plastic material is placed- hot spot - there is a hot spot on the big toe and midsection (ball of the foot). On the 10k, I got prominent blisters ( I hope blisters go away when the shoe breaks)- Heels not much cousin but it is expected as this shoe provides more stability, yet I got a blister at the bottom of my heal.- pretty tight on the arch on top of my foot. Since this is knit all around, you must play around with the shoe laces to find the right comfort, if any.Other than these issues I experienced at first impression, try the Novablast before you pull the trigger. I have never experienced blisters with other shoes when trying to ... MoreHere are the cons I found with this shoe with only 10K- Plenty of room in the toe box, yet my toes rub on the outside where the plastic material is placed- hot spot - there is a hot spot on the big toe and midsection (ball of the foot).

Awful fit and nothing like the Asics Kayano line that I have worn for the past ten years. First of all, the sizing was far too large compared to the size I typically get. The style of the snug mesh top doesn't lend itself to durability. I was hoping for the best when trying out this model, but I'm definitely going back to the regular Asics Gel-Kayano.
Great Kayano fit and support. I've been using various versions of Kayano for many years, and they are my preferred running shoe, especially as I get older and prioritize injury prevention. The no-tongue sock liner is a superior design in my opinion, and I'm glad Asics has that option on their Kayanos. I hope they will keep that for future generations of this shoe.
The feature comparison between models by the manufacture has always been at a deficit for marketing and website design. Understanding what features have been replaced over what features are similar and very different hasn't been great. Additionally environmentally friendly aspects are promoted which is nice that they are conscientious but they are in the way of viewing the product itself. If the shoe can’t meet basics needs or has a shelf life of 6 months then it is more an environmental harm for the landfill and burden on the wallet. This shoe is in fact garbage. I fear all Asics has become garbage and I will get into why. Additionally, Asics promotes feature rich shoes but dialing into the correct shoe with the appropriate features has always been a chore.

If the shoe can’t meet basics needs or has a shelf life of 6 months then it is more an environmental harm for the landfill and burden on the wallet. This shoe is in fact garbage. I fear all Asics has become garbage and I will get into why. Additionally, Asics promotes feature rich shoes but dialing into the correct shoe with the appropriate features has always been a chore. I will open up word and excel documents to do a side by side comparison. I am 100% confident I could run circles around the marketing if I was able to speak with the shoes designers and web developers to lay out comparison and filter features. Ultimately after much work I found a shoe that I hoped would meet the standard of previous models. This model is pathetic. I have been an Asics user for 20 plus years. As a kid it was whatever my guardians chose. As an adult of 20+ plus years, I have bought truly specific shoes from Asics, and I have enjoyed premium features but no more.They have removed shoe models that limit versions for varying foot types and made it to where my options are limited. Trail running or proper support is off the table. Just a quality build is off the table. This shoe appears to have a great sole, but the material in the gel portion is something that never ages well in a shoe. The entire shoe is a light knit fabric with elastic. If the shoe doesn’t rip the elastic will not last a year especially around the shoe lip. The entire shoe is meant to be slipped on removing the tongue and traditional features. I have broader toes and shoes usually stretch to fit but slipping these on are a chore and the knit sock they call a shoe will no doubt deteriorate in sections stretched frequently under not just use but trying to get them on. This also means they are no longer appropriate for foot injuries as it cannot be put on gently. Instead it takes difficulty that will no doubt shorten the shoe life. My wife a long time Asics fan commented her shoes were similar to these and lasted only a couple months and that she was done with Asics. This is somewhere between planned obsolescence and apathy towards consumer need. This isn’t a real shoe. It is a joke. It is meant for the landfill and idiots hemorrhaging money for the only decent part left, the sole. Even after the labor day discounts it is still a waste of money unless you run once a month, plan to buy shoes frequently, don’t ever go outside, and like trendy garbage more than functional shoes because you are someone who values new and different over functional and practical. My expectations had so far to fall with Asics, I do not believe this shoe’s shell will handle my shifting body weight past the first couple of runs as no soul is a perfect fit and often the shell of the shoe is what keeps the imperfect shoe shape in line with varying foot types. I am so in awe at how little the website has improved over the years and how much the shoe quality has tanked. I always paid the premium for nice shoes with ASICs sale or no sale because it was a good product, but they aren’t any more. Even with the serious cuts I believe keeping this shoe is wasting money never mind the color schemes always suck. There is a model similar to my favorite remaining but I’m not sure if I should bother. It may waste more of my time and money. It is clear it won’t be supported longer anyways. It is time to find a new company. What junk.
The fit of this shoe is terrible. Its so tight around the ankle, and top of my feet that it stops circulation to my feet and I loose feeling in my foot. There is no way to loosen the fit around the ankle, or across the top of your foot. So unless you have small feet there is no way to adjust these.Do not buy these unless you have a way to test them first.I bought these online so I had no way to trying them first. I stuck with them on and off for a few weeks to see if they would "break in", but they are still so tight that I will just have to not wear them.
