Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 29

This must be my 10th pair of GEL-Kayanos...perfect every time. Love the magenta-black combo!

I love these shoes. I walk in the city and on hiking trails for short hikes. They are excellent. Very stable and good toe push off.

My new favorite shoes. Also feels like extra support around my ankle, without rubbing!

OMG, THESE ARE AMAZING!!! So supportive and super cushioned. I wear orthotics and they fit just fine, without walking out of the heel. Honestly, they feel like HOKA's which I generally wear, but not so funky-looking. I can wear them with jeans. One thing I love is the rocking forward motion isn't as extreme as some sneakers (which bothers my big toe). They're absolutely perfect!!!!

Great color! I laced them a little tighter for less heel slippage. Nice fit on the width.

Excellent shoe. Grips the ground, good comfort. Good toe push off.

These fit incredibly well!

I replaced an older pair with these and they fit well and feel comfortable.

These shoes are my go to Asics - the gel footbed is amazing - especially since I have callouses on the bottom of my feet! I can actually walk in this shoe - love the look as well!

I have been wearing Asics running shoes for 30+ years. Last year I tried on several pairs in the $100-$120 range. None of them felt supportive or comfortable as I was used to with Asics. I switched to another brand that was ok, but not great. This year, I had to up my price range to get the comfort I need. This pair feels good, but I am disappointed that I have to spend more to get the same quality that I have come to expect with Asics.

I use an 8 1/2 but ordered a 9 and they fit great! Very comfortable. I have had 2 ankle surgeries and I love the extra padding around your ankle. I realized how good they are for my feet when I went to bed and my feet were not aching after using them all day.

Like walking on clouds. Great support. I ordered 5 different brands of shoes- and this was by far, the winner! Initially, I didn't like the toe of the shoes (seems like they point up like little elf shoes) and they are a bit wider in the toe box area, but hands down, these shoes were more comfortable (to me) thank Brooks, Hoka, Nike and Adidas. I haven't worn or even thought about the Asics brand in over 25 years, but they hooked me with this shoe.

Great shoes!

Great for a versatile shoe for working out and lots of walking/standing. Grey/Silver is nice and easy to blend into outfits. Great for travel.

The shoe fits well and is incredibly supportive. My ankles need a lot of support when running and these shoes are a big help. I primarily do trail running with some uneven surfaces, 3-7 mi per run. Wearing this shoe, my ankles are not sore or achy for days afterwards as with other running shoes. Also I've experienced a lot less ankle tweaks. This newer model doesn't look as "orthopedic" as past iterations of the Asics Kayano, which is a great aesthetic improvement. I purchased this shoe in gray and am very happy with it in person.

These shoes are perfect! They fit well and are very supportive and comfortable.

I am usually a size 10, and have had earlier models of the same shoe, but my toe hit the front. Ordered a 10.5 and bingo, felt perfect. You may want to size up a half size from your usual size.

Let's start with size: I normally wear a 9 in regular shoes and often wear a 9.5 or 10 in athletic shoes. In these, I definitely needed a 10. In other Asics I wear a 9.5 so I started there. They were definitely too short. I returned them (thanks Zappos!) and ordered the 10's. These fit perfectly. They are deep enough to hold my custom orthotics without making my heel slip out the top. They accommodate the orthotics perfectly. They control pronation, are very padded and all around a GREAT sneaker. I have most recently been wearing a different brand but didn't like the newer models so tried Asics again. These are wonderful.

the narrow was truly narrow, much better fitting than last year.
