Support is much improved. My plantar fasciitis pain is minimized and can run almost pain free.

The length and support were fine. The width was too narrow in the 4E Extra Wide.
I'd also recommend:
Usually wear Hoka's and Ascis.

Very very supportive and stable, almost to Hoka level. I normally wear a standard width 9.5 and my third through fifth toes rub against the inside of these shoes.

This is a beautiful shoe. The problem is that it rolls to the outside which is not comfortable and will cause premature wear on the outside edge of the shoe.

The shoes are very comfortable but the over protator correction seems too much and is causing more pain in my tailors bunions. Also, wide would have been better. Extra wide was not necessary.

Extremely weak top of the heel side. Deforms easily and stays deformed, no memory at all. You need to use shoehorn. Mine deformed in first try and stayed deformed, Makes it uncomfortable, not enough height after deforming.

I don't love these as much as the 29's. They're basically Hoka's.

I’m not a fan of the extra chunky sole. I dug out a pair of my older Kayano 27s and even though they have some wear, the 27s are more comfortable.

If you’re a fan of Hoka bondi — these are for you. I ordered two pairs because Kayano 29’s were extremely comfortable. These are different, they have a little bounce to them that I can’t stand. I don’t know why they didn’t just go with the well cushioned support that the 29’s had which imo is superior to these.

The fit is not the best. I have had better luck with other Asics-branded versions. It was too wide and I felt my feet were splattering to the ground as I take each step.

I get wide shoes, and these are perfect. I only get ASICS because of they are comfortable to both run and wear around.

Shoes made with lower quality. Shoes not made up to the same standards as previous Kayano. Been wearing the Kayano style for many years. These hurt the feet and are no where near as comfortable. Sorry day for Asics.

I purchased my Kayano 30's several months ago after wearing prior Kayano's for years. I find these shoes heavy and the heaviness tends to wear on your calves at the end of run.

Good cushioning, good stability, but the shoe would be even better with more gel, particularly if the gel were visible, as in previous versions of this model.

These are fine, the closest to the old gel nimbus I've found. I just hope ASICS bring back the old gel nimbus design, or just stop changing designs so much year to year.

Cheap insole, required replacement immediately. Seems a bit tighter in the toes than previous versions.

Very nice cushion but felt like a platform shoe. Too much heal height.

The shoes are high quality and fit well. I just hate when companies make big changes to a line of shoes. The big thick sole and all the cushioning, in this new model, is just way too much. I've pretty much worn kayanos exclusively for running since the 8's. I'll use them to wear around but I can't run in these. Very disappointed but I guess it's been a good run (pun intended). Now on to finding a new running shoe.

I love the Asics Kayano brand, but the company failed with this remake in my opinion. My guess is they tried to imitate On Cloud and Hoka rocker versions, but seems all they accomplished was to make the sole much thicker, which makes it feel like I'm back to wearing the heavy combat boots of my Air Force days. There is no rocker effect that provides support to the mid-sole, making walking with this shoe a bit of a slog. Asics should either return to its former design, which is lighter and more supportive, or more closely imitate Hoka's true rocker design.

Been wearing Kayanos for years, always buy the same size (10.5) i barely got my kayano 30 and theses fit small. Will have to return them and order a size 11. I am also not to crazy about the new design, kind of look like the Hoka's. But im willing to overlook that for the comfort I am used to expecting from these shoes.
