Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 29

Not comfortable. My feet hurt more and more everyday. For the price I expected a lot

You guys sent me regular instead of Extra wide. On top no sorry or nothing. Simply asked me to prove that you made mistake by sending picture even to return. No compensation for your mistake.

Ive used the Kayano for years without issue. Ive run marathons in them, ultramarathons, triathlons, etc. I bought these and they do not fit properly at all. Ive been dealing with foot pain from wearing them ever since i got them.

Digs into my heels. This was a replacement for my gel nimbus which also gave me terrible pain. I wore gel nimbuses for over 5 years before wearing them out. I can't wear any ASICS now for more than 15 minutes before I'm in pain. I don't know what ASICS changed, but I guess they're no longer for me.

Shoe feels quite clunky and uncomfortable. Also provides an odd feel in the arch area.

I get a pair of Kayanos every year, but they must have changed the design as these fit horribly. Too much padding on the top of the shoe and my toes now hit the front of the shoe. Guess I need to find something else as my go-to shoe!

I am a loyal customer of asics shoes since 10 years ago I have bought two pairs of Kayano in the last 5 months and both of them had tear on the top after wearing for 2 months

I've been a longtime loyal customer of Gel Kayanos. However, version 29 gave me blisters on both feet. They're unwearable. Hopefully Asics will revert whatever changes they made.

I was so happy with the comfort of these shoes. They are very lightly used yet the rubber sole is falling off. I am 6', 180 lbs and gentle with my use of my shoes. I paid a lot of money for shoes that lasted mere months! Extremely disappointing. Just look at the photos of these well-cared for shoes!

It fits much different than the previous version in the same size. Horrible fit and the toe box is huge. Uncomfortable to wear and gives blisters.

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.

I have had a number of pairs of Asics shoes over the years and this is the worst one ever! the cushioning at the back of the heel is bad. It is shoved down, meets my heel in weird spot and is just plain not comfortable. I contacted customer service and they were going to make me jump through hoops with pictures, etc. This is something you really can't see, but it's definitely there. Very dissatisfied with this model ... or at least this particular pair, and Asics for not standing behind their product.

Review is solely on this pair of shoes. Bought about 2 months ago and they are coming apart already. Run 3 times a week on road surface anywhere from 2-5 miles. It's a shame because the fit and comfort are great, but the durability is not there. I owned Asics before, and this is the first time this has happened. Maybe it was just this pair but know I'm a little weary about buying another pair.

I bought it last month to treat myself before Christmas, the right shoe never felt comfy. It was painful to walk and feel something rubbing off my right foot, I thought it was the shoelace so I tried to loosen it many times then I realised that the source of the pain was the plastic line of the Asics logo which was stiff and bent little inside so it was pushing against my foot with every step. The right foot heel didn't feel good as well, walking or standing for long period was painful. At the end i decided to return it back and get refunded. I am happy to go back to my old Asics again untill i find another shoe

The padding that hits the Achilles tendon is too thick to slide my foot into the shoe easily

Worn Kayano since #17 with the 29 loyalty is gone!

The changes to the version 29 have drastically changed the stability of this shoe. I overpronate my right foot and it this shoe my foot slips off to the inside of the insole. I have worn 4 generations of the Kayanos and they all worked great until this pair. Now, I am stuck with a pair of shoes that I can't use. I am really disappointed.

Fits tight in the toe box area. Sizes run small. Hot spots.

Overpriced and uncomfortable hurt my feet alot did not like shoes.
