ASICS Men's Gel-Kayano 29 Running Shoes

The engineered knit upper improves breathability. At least 50% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions, helping to keep the foot stable and provide a more comfortable stride. The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology, improving medial support and midfoot integrity.

The redesigned external heel counter helps keep the foot stable and provide a more comfortable stride. LITETRUSS technology also improves medial support and midfoot integrity. The OrthoLite X-55 Sockliner improves comfort, and the LITETRUSS Technology helps increase stability and guides the foot through the gait for a more efficient toe-off. The AHARPLUS Heel Plug improves the outsole durability.

The shoe is suitable for road use and has a 10 mm heel drop. It weighs 299 g/10.5 oz and provides neutral or stability support with maximum cushioning. Underpronation, where the foot lands on the outside of the heel at an increased angle with minimal pronation, can cause issues like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain, often seen in individuals with high arches. Neutral foot types land on the outside of the heel and then roll inward, absorbing impact effectively. Overpronation, where the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward excessively, can lead to problems like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs, commonly found in those with low arches or flat feet.

The shoes offer various key benefits:

Stability: Provides a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. Similar shoes include the GT-1000 and TRABUCO CUSHION.

Comfort: Prioritizes cushioning for soft landings and impact absorption, helping maintain comfort on longer runs. Similar shoes include the GEL-PULSE and TRABUCO MAX BOUNCE.

Energy Return: Offers a bouncy, trampoline-like feel with energy return that propels the wearer forward. Similar shoes include the SUPERBLAST and DYNABLAST SPEED.

Racing: Lightweight and responsive, providing a fast start and finish while helping conserve energy. Similar shoes include the METASPEED and MAGIC SPEED.

The product is machine washable and either made in the USA or imported, with a rubber sole and synthetic outer material.
