Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 29

Been wearing Kayano's for 10 years and these 29s are super comfortable! The 28s were pretty bad but these are definitely up there in comfort and shape. Only issue is that I need to size up. Going to return and size up and hopefully they'll be great from there.

Love the feel in my arc with this shoes I feel like I am on the air.

Love the cushioning and i love the shoe. I gave a 4 because it's tight on the toe. I went a size up due to info from reviews.

I love the gel kayano and have worn them for over 10 years. I had to go a half size up for these and the heel box is still very flimsy and folds down on itself. Even when I was purposeful to untie and retire my shoes the first two weeks, it still broke down as if I smashed it while putting it on each time. I still love the support but please upgrade the heel foam. The 28's were the same way.

I like the Gel-Kayano 29, nice & cushy, a little more of a curve in the sole then the 27/28, but they also seem to run a little bigger/wider than the previous ones I've had. The are comfy for work (12 hour nursing shifts, but at the end of the day it doesn't matter how comfy the sneakers are when you have 2 heel spurs, plantar fascitis and work 12 hours straight.

Great shoes! I wish the wide sizes came in more fun colors though!

I read the reviews on the ASICS before purchasing. I have worn another brand historically. Several reviews stated the shoes are hot and I do find that to be true. I changed the insole. The one included in the shoe was very cushioning but I prefer my own. I try to walk about 30-45 minutes a day and the ASICS are comfortable and have good foot support. Of note the ASICS have good toe cushion. This may be of more importance to runners vs walkers. Overall I am very satisfied with these shoes.

My daughter loves them except for the fact that we had to super glie them back together twice and had to use a warranty replacement on them.

Very comfortable for about 30 minutes, then my feet hurt. Purchase them for a 5K, and then breaking them in. Still hurt my feet. Will have to wear my other ASIC gels.

I replaced my shoes with the same model and was surprised that my new shoes are not as water resistant. My old shoe kept my feet dry and the new ones do not, after one walk with light rain. Did something change with manufacturing? My old shoes were about a year old; I live in MN and walk all winter in these shoes (sometimes with cleats when needed). The fit is good.

The design change in the heel, more specifically the ankle is frustrating. It is too soft, pulls my socks down and doesn't hold its shape.

This sneaker is easily damaged around the toe area. I have worn them five times and they are pilled at the toe. The support is wonderful.

I don't like the new style. It feels like there is no structure to it. And to be honest, they're pretty ugly but I know it's not about looks, it's about functionality. I've been wearing Asics for years and recently enjoyed the Kayanos but this year not so great. My husband also got a new pair and they didn't meet his expectation either.

Although it is a great shoe, the feel of it seems to have changed from previous purchases. The sizing seems smaller leaving my toes to ache and heels actually burn. I've never had this problem with my shoes in over 15 years of buying Asics. I have bought 2 pairs of shoes every year for the past 15 years or so and have never had any sort of discomfort or pain as I am experiencing now. Makes me almost want to return them! This is my 5th pair of shoes I have purchased in 2024 too (ugh)

These run small! I have narrow feet and still should have gotten at least a half size up.

This is my fifth pair of this particular shoe and every time a new version comes out, I'm hoping it will fit as well as my current pair. The ones I received this time have a very strange fit, it's almost like the ball and heel of my foot are supported and the arch is not. I feel like I'm rocking from heel to toe when I walk, I'm not really understanding why the shoe fits like this.

What I would give to get my gel Kayano 28 back! While the 29s are okay, they are narrower than the 28's. I have a narrow foot but these standards are pushing my tolerance. I wouldn't order another pair. As much as I have loved the gel Kayanos, I will be looking for an alternative
