Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano® 29

Shoes are ok. Not as cushiony as advertised and relatively no arch support. Not happy but wore them before I read the refund policy which states they must not have been worn outside if returning. That doesn't make sense since you need some time to make sure they are good for you and if you can't wear them outside to walk then how do you test them?

Over the last year, every pair of Asics Kayano 29 runners I buy is different. One is too short, the other too long. The length of shoelaces varies. This time, it's the tongue that's too short compared with another identical pair I have in the identical colour. This means the tongue cuts into the foot while running. It seems that Asics uses different manufacturers and can't exercise adequate quality control to ensure consistency.

I absolutely love ASICS and don't buy anything less because I've always been pleased with them but unfortunately I am now regretting getting these. They hurt my feet pretty bad and I believe it's the "honeycomb shaped core in the soles that are designed for women's feet" I will not be getting another pair of these.

Definitely less cushion than the 28. Needs break in time. Not comfortable in the first few walks. The 28 needed no break in time and they were super comfortable. Although I should say tge lace is a good length in the 29 not as long and annoying as the 28.

I love ASICS and I've been a customer for years. These just feel constricting around the toes compared with gel Nimbus. I just couldn't find any gel Nimbus shoes in black right now so I tried these and they're less comfortable than all the other ASICS I've ordered.

Kayano29 is a nice looking shoe but for some reason my socks keep getting sucked into my shoes I have tried different socks but keeps happening

I am always a size 9 in sneakers so that is what I ordered but my toe was hitting the front so I had to return them (they don't allow exchanges) and pay a restocking fee. I ordered a 9 1/2 instead and they feel a little too big. They are also a little wide so I need to wear thick socks. I like them otherwise.

I have been a big fan of Gel-Kayano shoes for years and have many pairs. I usually buy two pair at a time, one for work and one for home. This version is not great and I'm not very happy. My feet are usually killing me after wearing them which is really unfortunate because I really usually love my Asics!

Veey comfortable. However, way too small. I wear an 8.5 had to return shoes & buy size 9 and still a biy too small bit keeping them in hopes of str8out over time

Looks good, not much cushion. Firm shoe. I'll keep it for walking around town

Not as shock absorbing as my older pair. Not as comfortable but the are pretty. I prefer the gel keyano 24

Lots of cushion but run slightly small due to the slight turning up of the shoe at the end. They are okay for shorter runs but rub/hurt my toes when I run or walk too far. I love Kayanos for their support. Last year's model was perfect but side-by-side, these are slightly smaller, so I'm disappointed.

I bought these shoes about 2 months ago, I have been buying the Gel-Kayano's for a long time and this is the first time I have ever gotten blisters from by shoes. It's those darn in soles, they have a small ledge around them and they rub against the back of my heel and is causing blisters and callouses

I purchased regular width but they seem to be wider than my other pair that is the exact same

Shoes are pretty good, but the sizing feels off. I wear a 6.5 and got a 7 since I always size up for running shoes, but a 7.5 probably would have been better. Emailed customer service to see about an exchange but never heard back.

I have bought many different ASICS shoes in size 9.5 wide over several years and have been quite happy with the fit. Unfortunately, this model runs small (or certainly seems that way) especially in the area of toe box. I thought that it needs some time to break in. I wore over 10 runs, and my toes hurt each time I wear them. Other features of this pair are quite good, so it's very unfortunate that I cannot wear them. From now on, I will have to try them out before taking the tags off to be sure that

Good shoes - a bit heavy. Also, wide sizes do not come in better colors or more neutral colors. My foot is already wider! I don't wish to draw attention to it with bright colored shoes.

I really like the fit of these shoes. They look really great too.

I bought these a few months ago and hated the way they fit compares to the gel kayano 27. I did get used to them and they are super comfortable, but anytime I try to do any type of strenuous exercises or work outs, my feet move too much inside the shoe, causing my ankles pain. I have gone back to my kayano 27 for working out, but the 29s are fine for walking or wearing throughout the day. Wish they would go back to the older style for fit, if the new models fit like these I may need to find a new shoe.

While the padding is excellent, the shoe is somewhat narrow across the middle of my feet, even after loosening the laces so I can barely tie the shoes.

This GEL-KAYANO 29 does not have any arch support.

Highly recommended shoe. I thought I'd give it a try because of the medical professional nod. The cushioning was fine but this shoe does not fit me around the top of my foot. The laces all the way up to the top was too tight and below was too loose. I really wanted to love this shoe. I guess I'll go back to gt2000's.

I bought these as the chart states maximum cushion. They are okay but I've bought other ASICS that had more. I wish they still sold those as they are better.

I am not at all happy with the change Asics has done to the Gel-Kayano. I have worn this design for quite a while and they always fit and felt comfortable. This time around Ascis decided we needed rockers in the bottom of the shoes to help prepell us forward. All they do it make the shoe feel weird. I hope they go back to the original design. The shoes run short, and go up high up too high on the ankle. I use these for walking, they throw your cadance off. I can't imagine using these for running.
