wow, I like the scenery, and your review, and your perfect way of expounding everything about the shoes. thanks
You are very welcome! Thanks for the kind words. Glad you like the videos, and welcome to the channel!
Thank you for your review
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for a thorough review of the K29. Thoughts on the K29 vs the Tempus. Do you use the Tempus for long runs?
Hey David!...I think the Tempus is clearly a more versatile stability shoe. That being said, my long runs (16 +) are generally easy so I tend to reach for shoes like the Gel-Kayano 29 or Glycerin GTS 20. I wouldn't have any qualms using the Tempus for long runs, however. If I could only purchase one stability shoe right now for all types of runs, it would probably be the Tempus.
did my first run in them today, got my PB. have been suffering from shin pain after runs and from tests at asics seems my feet are overpronated . had gone to buy novablast-3 but store recommended this after tests. hopefully my shin pains will go down
That's AWESOME, Adi! Glad you got checked out, and glad the shoes helped you to a PB! Congratulations! Let me know how they work for you long term!
@@oldmanvanrunning am able to run without pain in shins and cut 20min from my 10k time. Do you think there should be raceday shoe like metaspeed and Kayano for daily training
I got the Kayano Lite 3 instead the Gel-Kayano 29 and I had to break the foam for around crazy 10 miles ! After that the shoe became a total gem in confort and very nimble.
But the feeling of the foam is super soft and delightful but it is different from the Flyte Foam Blast plus of my Gel-Nimbus 24. I prefer the Blast plus and I wonder if I would have liked even more if I bought the Gel-Kayano 29 instead.
Anyways, I overpronate a bit and it is good to have at least one stable running shoe in my rotation to give my ankles some time up.
Hey Miracle! Thanks for checking out my video!...Haven't tried out the Kayano Lite 3, but can say the Gel-Kayano 29 midsole is getting better with more miles. It's still heavier and warmer than my other stability shoes, but I am enjoying it more. I can see myself reaching for it more as the weather gets colder.
I ordered a pair of these and should be getting them on Wednesday, I'm excited to try them out, probably a bit of a shorter run than yours 😅 I'm a beginner and currently doing 5ks. I have very flat feet and these will be my first pair of stability shoes
Hi radical! Thanks for checking out my video!...Let me know how the Gel-Kayano 29s work out for you! Happy running!
@@oldmanvanrunning thanks! I got them and went out for about a 2 mile run yesterday and I really like them so far! They felt a bit tight and my left arch hurt a bit at the beginning, but after about 5 min they were feeling pretty good. I think I just need to break them in. They felt a bit bouncy which was nice :^) and also no foot pain the next day unlike my older shoes. I’m looking forward to continuing to try them out, I’m trying to train to improve my 5k time. I have a race in about a month. Thank you for the review!
@@radicalmallard Great to hear! Let me know if anything changes, and best of luck in your 5k next month! Looking forward to hearing how you did!

Awesome review 🤙
How does it compare to the Guide 15? Specifically the comfort and midsole cushioning. Thanks.
Hey Beast Mode! Thanks!.....The Guide 15 is significantly lighter, firmer, and has a thinner upper. Also the Guide is a bit narrower in the toe box. I find the Gel-Kayano 29 is a much warmer shoe on the foot and in some ways, the upper is over-built to me. Both are comfortable, but my preference is the Guide 15 outside of the firmer midsole. In that regard, the Guide is better suited for short to mid-distance runs at varied paces as it's more responsive, while the Gel-Kayano 29 is better suited for easy runs and has enough cushion for longer runs. Hope this helps.
@@oldmanvanrunning Extremely helpful! Thanks.
I have to say this shoe is 🔥. I had a hard time deciding between this shoe and the Glycerin 20 for my next shoe. I guess my question is, does anyone know anything about the new Mizuno Waverider?
Hi Andrew! This is a good shoe (will be posting an update in the near future), as is the Glycerin GTS 20. My personal preference is the Glycerin, but that doesn't mean it will be for you. As for the Waverider, I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but may look into it. Good luck! 👍
Hello I'm from Brazil.
I have a lot of pain when running around the ankle, my calf hurts a lot and it's kind of hard, making it impossible to even walk after causing these pains... Which sneakers would you recommend me?
Great channel! 👏
Hey Leidson and Brasil! Thanks for checking out my video!...A couple of options for you would be Hoka Clifton or Bondi, and the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22. The Gel-Kayano 29 could be a good option as well.
I'd recommend to get a gait analysis either from a pro or from a running store. They are actually pretty good and give you a good idea on things that could work for your problems.
For me, the Kayano 29 is one step forth and two steps back. I really loved the 28, which was perfect for me. The first kilometers with the 29 gave me a wow effect. But then I noticed, that my feet were moving around in a little, enough to have some friction which became uncomfortable. The next run, l locked them tighter, but that became even more uncomfortable and still my feet were moving in the shoes. It was as if the midsole under my feet was constantly moving, rubbing, creating some friction. I did not get blisters, but a wound feeling under my forefoot. And for me, it is also too much padding around the heel. That also has been better with the 28.
I could not feel any advantage of ffblast+, but what they have really improved was, that I found it easier to speed up a little compared to the older model. So there is definitely some improvement, but it gives me wound feet. I will sell mine and try something else, maybe the Puma Foreverrun. Unfortunately, the Kayano 28 are out of stock here.
Hi Argumon! Your experience with the Gel-Kayano 29 is very similar to mine, unfortunately. Although the 28 was a bit more narrow in the midfoot, I enjoyed that shoe much more. I've been considering trying the Puma shoe you mentioned, so maybe I will now!
@@oldmanvanrunning I gave them a 2nd chance and ran some 5k's in them. I locked them down to the lower strap holes, which made the fit better. And I need to correct myself, a/b comparing them to the 28, the FFBlast+ seems to be softer than the older FFBlast, at least in my 1 yr old Kayano 28's. But maybe this is part of the problem, they are so soft under the forefoot, when they compress it creates more room so the feet can move inside the shoe. And yes, as you wrote, the 28 was narrower.
So after a few weeks, I don't see them as bad as in my first impression. But overall, it is the biggest disappointment from Asics in years.
I would love to hear your opinion on the Puma Foreverrun and will take a look at your videos on the Kayano lite and the Guide, many thanks for these.
I have wide, odd-size feet.
I read and saw some really good things about the Novablast 3. So went ahead and bought it.
Mistake.
My feet hurt like hell the morning after a 5k. I was gutted because I really liked the shoes on the surface.
So I went back to the store and bought the Gel Kayano 29.
I think they are better and more stable for my feet. Will do a 5k tomorrow to break them in.
Hey, varun....Let me know how the Gel-Kayano 29s work out for you 👍
@@oldmanvanrunning
So went for a 5k run to break them in. So far, I'm glad I made the switch. The extra room on the toe box makes the shoe right for my feet. Also, the shoe is very well padded.
Guess I learnt I need stability more than style. I'm looking forward to lots and lots of comfortable runs on the Kayanos.
@@VarunStream I have also tried the Novablast because of all these great reviews and sent them back immediately. Without the gel, they are too soft for me in the back.
I'm planning to get a pair soon. I've flat over pronated feet and was wondering if I could use Kayano 29 for my first Marathon in September. My Pegasus 39 although comfy, hurts after a long run especially on my arch area. My Alphaflys messed up my achilles after running in them for a total of 145kms
Hey Ishi! 👋 You definitely can wear the 29s for your marathon. They aren't as light or responsive as racing shoes, but if your main goal is to finish comfortably vs trying to hit a specific time, they will get you there.
@@oldmanvanrunning thank you! I just want to finish the race with a smile on my face ☺
i had the pressure also and this new upper material isnt comfortable at all... sent back.
I’d imagine your next shoe review is Novablast 3?
Hey Wonky!...Unfortunately, I'm a stability runner, and the Novablast 3 is neutral. Since I still have to purchase each pair that I test out of my own pocket, I've got to be pretty selective. Once the channel grows enough, I'll be able to get samples from the manufacturers to test. Getting there, though! 👍🙂
@@oldmanvanrunning same here as a flat footed runner. The novablast 3 looks so good though. Currently use kayano 28, maybe will upgrade to the 29s in a few months
Thoughts on this vs glycerin 20 Gts?
Hey Malte! Thanks for checking out the review!....So far I like the Glycerin GTS 20 more than this shoe. The upper is lighter and more breathable, feels lighter on the foot, and has a bit more responsiveness. I don't dislike the Gel-Kayano 29, but so far the GTS 20 is working better for me.
@@oldmanvanrunning I went to the store today with the intention of getting the kayano but left with the gts 20 😄
The blister under the toe could be related to the front rocker on the 29?
Hi philippe! I don't think it was due to the rocker in my case. I have a number of shoes with more pronounced rockers and have never had an issue. Personally, I think it's more due to the fit and sockliner in the forefoot. It has settled down over time, though.
@@oldmanvanrunning after the first day, at night i felt a pinch under the big toe, probably from strain, muscle stretch. I got used to it, but honestly a stability shoe that brings your toes 20 degree upright?!
Hi, Van, did I understand correctly, that K28 was a better shoe for you? I found both quite cheap here in Bangkok, but K28 is cheaper by $15 and it's even more tempting. Adding to that, what I understood from the review, is that they've made the support less in K29, than it was before and I rely on that sturdiness to keep my overpronation corrected. Thinking, what would be the better option in your opinion.
You are correct, Sir! I do like the 28 better than the 29. The primary reason is the upper (thick and hot) and hot spot issues. As for support, the 29 is not far off from the 28, so I don't think that should be an issue. I will say the 29 has slightly more room in the midfoot and toebox than the 28, but for me it wasn't an issue.
@@oldmanvanrunning Same here
Try the endorphin speed pro sauconys
Hi Ferrari! I wear the Endorphin Pro 3s for racing and love them! Haven't tried the Endorphin Speed 3 yet, but may consider them in the future as a potentially stable neutral shoe. I wear the Tempus as the fast stability shoe in that niche.
I heard many reviewers got blisters from No.29.
Just wonder how come....
Ps. I also got No.29 to replace my old no.27.
Hi Kessarin! Thanks for checking out my review!....I haven't had any issues after that first run with hot spots/blisters. I think this is a shoe that requires some break-in in the sock liner. I'll have to wear them on another 15+ mile run to be certain, but I think that's the issue. let me know how your experience with them goes.
Hi
I find that no.29 has nothing protruding & bothering my arch, unlike no. 27 (I am neutral, but I like stability shoes).
I m a heel-striker. W my running pattern, the sole of no 29 is great ! And the energy passing from heel to mid foot is very smooth. The mid sole of 29 is more bouncing than no.27. This no.29 is also a bit lighter than no.27 (women, size 9).
I m just a casual runner, so I dont expect my shoes to be extremely bouncing or light but I prefer something making me feel that my feet, ankles are well-protected - keep me from an injury...
I felt a bit nervous when I stood on Nova blast (too high, and its heel is narrow) but w no.29, i feel that there is a solid "frame" supporting around my feet.
I have long been a loyal fan of Kayano. I switched from Nike to Kayano 15 and never switched back.
The price tag of no.29 in Bangkok is quite high but the promotions from the store and Asics TH are very helpful (i got nearly 25% on top discount).
In general, I enjoy running in no.29. It now makes me hesitate to get Arahi 6 of Hoka :-)
@@kessarinkullaphatkanon3695 Although the Arahi 6 is a good shoe that I enjoy, from a durability standpoint, I believe the Gel-Kayano 29 is the better choice, and will be easier on the feet and ankles.
Which would you suggest asics gel kayano 29 or Brooks glysrin gts 20 or Brooks Adrenaline GTS 22
Hey Sandeep! #1 Glycerin GTS 20, #2 Gel-Kayano 29. I personally wouldn't recommend the Adrenaline GTS 22 because, for me, the 12 mm drop is too much. It may work for some, but I don't think it's ideal. My top choice is the Glycerin GTS 20 as it's more breathable, feels lighter, and feels more responsive than the Gel-Kayano 29. Both have a 10 mm drop which for me is the max a shoe should go. Hope this helps.
@@oldmanvanrunning Thank you so much for your help and honest advice ❤️🙏
@@oldmanvanrunning I have a flat foot my size is uk8 should I take half a size bigger or should I take the wide Glysrine GTS 20 previously I was using Nike vomero uk8 that to tight for my toes please help me your opinion matters most to me ❤️🙏
Hi Sandeep. I wear normal width in the Glycerin GTS 20, but Nike shoes are too narrow for me as well. My recommendation would be to try them on before deciding if possible, but if not, I believe they are true to size. If you order them, if possible do so from a retailer with a return policy if they don't fit well.
@@oldmanvanrunning Again Thank you 🙏 for your genuine advice
❌ very Heavy shoes
Hey, Gurunath! I agree they are somewhat on the heavier side. Thanks for the comment!
