- The Gel Kayano range has long been a go-to for runners that want stability and comfort, but the release of Gel Kayano 29 sees some big updates to the line.
That includes an updated FF Blast+ midsole cushioning design that’s lightweight but adds more energized rebound, and LITETRUSS stability in the midsole to help stop your foot from rolling too far inwards.
Mike and Tom have taken the shoe out for a first run to see if it's worth adding to your rotation.

I have a regular arch, and don.t prone, but i love these Shoes as well as the nimbus 24 and 25s, they are very different feeling since i feel great stability yet bounce and comfort at the same time, less bounce than the nimbus 25s, but more stability and egual comfort.
Love your reviews guys, best on the internet! Have you looked at the Kayano Lite 3 yet?
I haven't really ran much since I discharged from the Army about 8 years ago due to how aggravating shin splints were and a painful bone spur in my knee. Im looking at getting back with it and hope these will be a suitable pair of shoes to minimize the discomfort of getting back into the swing of running again.
Thanks for your service. I am not the guy who made this video so I don’t know as much about running shoes. I would recommend these to you I also have shin splints and these are great because they are a stability shoe. I would try a few pairs of running shoes on at first at a Dicks sporting goods or a running shoe store if there is one in your area. If not these are a great option and I think these would work well for you.
I like the honest opinion.
hello i have a question i brought some cumulus 24s they were really comfortable however i felt like my foot was falling / rolling to the outside. supernation/ over supination. i feel like this is because the shoe midsole is really soft and as i walk even worse on carpet my ankle just feels like its rolling outwards and im having to try hard to stop it. i have really weak ankles and poor balance anyway. i have a pair of nike huaraches which dont do this but are uncomfortable i wanted to buy some acics but not sure which to go for ? have you herd of this before and can you give me any advice on it? thanks
Any chance of a review on the Saucony Tempus?
What about durability? Thanks for this useful information, I am thinking to get one of these for long runs and daily runs
Is this worth to buy ascompare to the 28
Sorry but the Guide 15’s PWRRun midsole is not soft or plush at all compared to K29’s FFBlast+ 12:19
Thanks for the awesome video content. I prefer traditional stability running shoes due to over pronation (Medial post etc..) Kayano 29 was my favorite shoe for this but the Kayanos have changed a lot.
In the current market which is the closest shoe to the Kayano 29? (NB 860 V12, Gt 2000 12 perhaps?)
I tried running with the kayano 29 several times now, but I can’t get used to them. The fit is awkward.
Glad to know I'm not the only one, pinches my little toe and has lots of hot spots
fits & feeling good. the middle part is great and on the whole feels softer then Kayano 28. I run with the shoe short and long distances. 9/10
Can you tell me if the fit has changed between Kayano 28 and 29? By chance, with the same shoe size, has it become narrower or wider? In the past Asics has played jokes on me with new models. Excuse my English.
@@filipporandi7411 All right, I understand. I have the feeling that the fit of the 29 is almost identical. Subjectively speaking. Try it best when you have the opportunity.
@@Freizzn Noted with thanks.
Nice I love my 28s but wish they were slightly softer so I'm keen for my 29s to arrive 😅
@@chakalaka3960 nice
I wear gel kayano since kayano 18 and this K29 not as good as before. Less cushioning compared to its previous batch.the design getting lousy, what happened to asics designer?
I think you’d like the ASICS Glideride 3 Tom (it is out, hope you get some soon)
Great review. Thnx. So it’s not a very fast shoe.
Can you recommend any fast shoes for overpronators?
Shoe do not run on its own..
I love this shoe! Comfortable and enjoyable! 9/10. Coming from Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22
I moved away from the Kayano onto the Hoka Arahi, I cant say this one will tempt me back.
Ff blast feels nice tho, but unless you really pronate I don't see why you couldn't go for the gel nimbus instead that's also pretty stable
I have Arahi 6 hurts my mid sole when I’m running long runs :/
I tried running in the Arahi in the shop. Took one step outside on the wet pavement and slipped right on my bum. Besides for the bruise I also embarrassed myself in front of the super cute sales girl. No hoka for me!
How do you find the Arahis hold up? Had a set of the 5s and the outsole was cooked before 200km
Are these stability, didn’t hear him say?
Is it for flat foot person?
Yes
can you compare it with novablast 3?
They are very different, it wouldn’t make sense to compare them.
They are the opposite of each other.
Appreciate the the review of the K29. Any perference between the K29 and the Glycerin GTS 20 as a daily trainer / long run shoe for an overpronator?
Im a collegiate runner and I pronate a lot. The Glycerin 20 GTS is a great option but I needed more support. I think the softness still lets some pronation seep through over time so I got the Saucony Guide 15 as an alternative. Probably going to pick the K29 up though as my recovery shoe.
@@davidferguson4209 How's the Guide 15 vs the Glycerin GTS 20?
After 8 months of using them, I have to say that at long distances of 20+ kilometers, I developed blisters on my feet!!
Oh dear, I'm very flat footed and need heavy stability, so I could be struggling here. I've loved the past Kayano editions.
I have heard they are good for flat feet. I am also flat feet and planning to buy these. Should i not?
@@shameermalik5540 yes buy them. I did get a pair of these and I'm finding them fine for it. The 29 still has good stability for flat feet I have been finding.
@@jollyroger1009 people with flat feet have generally wider feet, so did you buy the wide feet size or normal width one up size?
@@shameermalik5540 the normal one.
The 29 is the best kayano yet in my opinion.
I've been wearing kayano for years. 29 sux.
THAT bad huh?😢 and I just ordered some😖
they need to bring back the old models. back to their roots
take a shot whenever you hear the word stability and try not to die before the end of the video.
Still a very traditional shoe, popular with a lot of walkers and older folks
I work in running specialty and you nailed it. These are basically the only groups we get who buy this shoe.
I work in a shoe store too and these sell out when they are on sale lol
@@93siguy Sell well here too, just not much for running
@@mattw785 Yup. We find that a fair amount of people still prefer that traditional medial posting over the more guidance type of support that the industry is trending toward. The Kayano does well despite its $160 price but usually with people looking for a good walking shoe. When we get a runner who buys an Asics stability, it's usually the GT-2000.
@@ielle. Yeah, they screwed up the Kayano the way Brooks did Adrenaline. Old people like me relied on the "truss"ted medial support of the old Kayano, and used the DS Trainer for guidance stuff. If I have to evolve, I'll evolve with the Tempus and finally get those custom orthotics after decades of holding off.
The only thing these are not a fast shoe.
All I hear stability shoes, so thats what it is. If I want to improve my speed then this is not it. Thank you
