What’s New
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO® 29 has an updated midsole with FF BLAST™ PLUS foam that provides a more energized rebound, yet keeps the shoe lightweight. ASICS added 2 mm of cushioning to the stack height of the shoe to provide more cushioning and decreased the heel-to-toe drop to 10 mm for both men’s and women’s versions to provide a smoother and more stable ride. Finally, they modernized the upper with an engineered knit to improve the shoe’s breathability and comfort.

Good not great
I switched to the 29s from the 28s. Broke them in well but I feel like I'm having issues that I just didn't have in the 28s. Ran with the same brand/style of inserts in each. I get more foot pain and I've even ended up with a few blisters from the 29s. If I run a Spring marathon I'll probably try to find something different. I think I just prefer the feel of the 28s midsole as compared to the 29s.
