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.

Comfort and Support for Serious Runners
Size: 9
Color: White/Deep Ocean
These shoes offer exceptional comfort and support, making them ideal for serious runners like myself. The Gel-Kayano 29 provides excellent cushioning, absorbing the impact of each stride and reducing fatigue during long runs. The combination of Gel technology and responsive foam in the midsole delive
rs a plush and supportive feel underfoot. One standout feature is the stability these shoes offer. The Dynamic DuoMax support system and Trusstic technology help maintain proper foot alignment, which is crucial for injury prevention. I’ve noticed a significant reduction in discomfort and strain in my ankles and knees since switching to these shoes. The upper is breathable and snug, providing a secure fit without feeling too tight. It’s also worth noting that the shoe’s durability is impressive; it’s held up well after several months of regular use. In summary, the ASICS Gel-Kayano 29 is a top-notch running shoe that combines comfort, support, and durability. It’s an investment that’s well worth it for serious runners looking to enhance their performance and protect their joints. https://amzn.to/3EqvN6U

Returned only because color is much lighter than photo, and I decided I am getting too old to wear the side graphics. Excellent heel counter that is as good or better than Brooks Ghost 14. No heel slippage and I have narrow ankles. Very comfortable. Very tight and difficult to put on. Laces way too l
ong. True to size. Very stable. Good arch support. Do not like white soles from any brand. Shipped in plastic sack, so minor damage to factory box. Returned in a cardboard box.

I am a big fan of the ASICS keyano series or men’s running shoes. My only disappointment is the uppers can tear somewhat easily and the soles wear out reasonably fast for me. I walk at a minimum of 2-3miles a day and the forefoot sole tends to wear down pretty fast. All said these are my go to runnin
g/walking shoes for my 6’2” 200lbs frame. I run mostly neutral but like the extra cushion and support of a stability shoe. I buy 2-3 pair of these a year and highly recommend them.

I’ve always loved ASICS. And this particular pair (navy and tomato red) fit my feet perfectly, comfortable and true to size. But I’ve noticed with big brand shoes lately, the color and/or country it was made in makes all the difference. So I had returned two previous pairs of these in a different col
or due to size inconsistency. I’m giving them 4 stars for that reason. My advice . . . If you order a specific color and they don’t fit correctly, don’t be afraid to try another color. Try and try again I say! 😁

I normally wear GT-2000s, and went for the Kayano 29. Both are stability shoes and have no issues with the Kayano. Fit is great, have the stability to support my mild probation. Support is great and comfortable. The ride in these shoes are everything I expected. Would have no issue wearing for longer
runs. Now I have 2 go to ASICS models, GT-2000s and now Kayano. Get them while they are on sale, save some money and get a top quality running shoe! Click add to cart now!!

Stable running shoe for guys with wide feet and work with custom orthotics.
Size: 9.5 X-Wide
Color: Black/Black
I like the fit of the 4E shoe as the toe box is wide enough for my foot. Also work well with my custom orthotics. Only concern is that durability. Had them less than a month and already some of the corners of the sole are coming loose.

Great to be back in a pair of Kayanos again!
Size: 10
Color: Island Blue/White
Loving the Kayano 29… Have worn Kayanos for so many years with just a few breaks to try some other shoes. But I always return to the Kayanos. Typically buy the previous year model at half price on Amazon. Some years they’re better than others so my strategy is to buy 1 pair. Then, if I love that mode
l year I go online and buy a couple more. Just ordered more.

I’ve literally been running in Gel Kayano’s since the Mk1 in 1993. So I may be biased, but these fit like a glove. True to size, and so soft! I’m looking forward to the miles I’ll log in these!!

I love the Asics brand and find their shoes to be really comfortable in general. I purchased this pair for my work shoes as I'm on my feet for 10-12 hours a day - often in a hurry to get to the other end of the building. These shoes felt wonderfully comfy the first time I put them on and only are get
ting better with each shift. I get men's shoes because the arch support fits my foot better than the womens sizing. Love 'em - what's more to say?

I bought these and love the color and cushiness but the control in the footbed is not like it used to be. An ASICS rep told me they widened it based on feedback but in the current version 30, the went back to a snugger fit. Maybe I’ll try those when they go on sale but these were too wide for stabili
ty IMHO. This version 29 runs wide. I bought the GT 2000 version 11 instead.

As a longterm user of the Gel-Kayano series, I appreciate the continuity of the models from year to year, though Asics does minor tweaking.
