The Asics Kayano 29 fits my fairly narrow fit very well – nice and snug, well-cushioned and stable-feeling. The only problem is this model seems to run a half size small for some reason. I’ve been wearing size 13 Asics for 20 years, always fitting well, but these are just a little short. I really liked these, but unfortunately, they don’t make them in a size 13.5, so they’re going back.

When I discovered Hoka shoes, I thought I was set. What was this cushioned, comfortable stride? What clouded, bouyant vistas have I begun to tread? Alas, my comfort journey was cut short because the Hokas, much as I loved them, don’t hold up. The tread wore away on multiple pairs in under a year, just from walking 2-3 miles per day. No bueno.
Then I discovered the ASICS Gel-Kayanos. The comfort level is similar to the Hoka’s, but they are far more durable. It’s been over a year, and I’m still on my first pair. I immediately notice the difference when I put on something else. Case in point, I tried on a pair of “memory foam” slip-ons in Costco the other day, and…. well, ugh. All I could feel were the seams where the sole met the sides.
I knocked a point off for support because the shoes could do a little more to prevent lateral motion- i’m sure it’s hard for ASICS (any other shoe maker) to find a balance between the height added by the comfort soles and lateral stability. It wasn’t enough to keep my from buying a second pair.

I can always wear these right out of the box and they never require a “break-in” period for me. Very comfortable, but they aren’t very durable as the area around the toes wears out very easily.

I purchased the ASICS Men’s Gel-Kayano 29 running shoe. They fit really well, maybe just a bit short for the stated size but doesn’t feel cramped and is not an issue for me. This model has a lower arch insole and will work great for flat footers or those with low arches. It’s a very comfortable shoe and is quite breathable.

Can’t run more than 4K with this shoes. They will make my feet burn at the soles. Disappointed. Otherwise great for walking

As an avid runner, the ASICS Gel Kayano 29 has become my secret weapon on the road. The GEL technology in the heel and forefoot transforms every run into a cushioned experience, absorbing shock like a pro. Whether I’m pushing my limits on long-distance runs or sprinting through speed workouts, these shoes keep me going with consistent comfort.
The Dynamic DuoMax Support System has been a game-changer for my overpronation. It feels like these shoes were custom-made for my feet, providing unmatched stability and support that keep my form in check, especially during those grueling miles.
The FluidFit upper not only hugs my feet snugly but also keeps them cool with improved ventilation. No more sweaty discomfort – just a glove-like fit that adds to the joy of running. And let’s talk durability – these shoes have been through countless miles, and they still look and feel as good as new.
In a nutshell, the ASICS Gel Kayano 29 isn’t just a running shoe; it’s my running companion. It has everything I need – comfort, support, and durability – making every run an experience to look forward to. If you’re serious about your miles, these shoes are a game-changer.

Other than Vans I only were ASICS. Love the color and the fit very comfortable. Love the fact that they are all the same size, if you wear a 10 all 10s will fit. Best part was they were half the price of a local running store.

First off – yes, they run AT LEAST a half-size small. Go up, especially if you have duck paddles (very wide) for feet as I do. You’re going to need the room.
By comparison, I have been in the New Balance 1080 series for a million years, and their newest 10 4E (as of 2022) fits about the same as these Asics in the 11 4E. The NB shoes are great – and probably the most “4E” of 4E shoes – but over the years their premier 1080 line has, in my opinion, sacrificed substantive lateral foot and heel lineup support on the altar of waif-like lightness.
I’m at the point as an active exercise walker where I need proper support just as much as I need cushion. Also – by the by, I have been using the Superfeet Copper replacement inserts found here on Amazon. They’re in the vein of “over-the-counter custom orthotics” and not the cheapest thing you’ll ever buy, but if you need them for support, you need them for support. Let the shoes themselves provide the cushioning. These Asics shoes out of the box are supportive and the cushioning is good. The Superfeet insoles slid right in as replacements for the factory set for that dash extra of reliable support and foot lineup.
One more note ~ the Hoka Bondi 8s are comparable to the New Balance 1080s and these Asics 29s, but if you have wide feet, forget it. Their “extra wide” is a 2E *at best*. The shoe soles themselves are wide as moon boots, and probably give great support, but the uppers are strictly for narrow feet. Epic fail on Hoka’s end. Don’t believe me – read the reviews. They were slammed so much on their site that *cough* I don’t see reviews any more. Maybe I missed them on a recent visit?
Fit-wise for my fellow ducks I’d say the 4E NB 1080s are best, flowed closely by these Asics 29s. Hokas … damn they were cushiony … are not for wide feet, period, unless maybe you get 2 sizes too big. Even then … 🤔
But overall I’m going these Asics 29s for support AND cushioning AND width. 🏆 As of this writing the 30s are indeed available, but at about $60 more per pair. The new-to-me 29s got great reviews, so I thought I’d start with them.

These ASICS Men’s Gel-Kayano 29 Running Shoes are a game-changer for my long walks! They’re the perfect combination of stability, comfort, and lightweight breathability.
As someone with narrow feet, I often struggle to find shoes that fit snugly without feeling constricting. These ASICS hit the nail on the head! They provide a secure hold without sacrificing comfort.
Forget the bulky stereotype of “Japanese shoes”! These are sleek and modern in design. If you’re looking for an alternative to Nikes and crave a shoe that prioritizes support and comfort over flashy branding, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 29 is definitely worth checking out.
Highly recommend!
