ASICS Women's Gel-Kayano 29

The engineered knit upper on this product improves breathability. At least 50% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content to reduce waste and carbon emissions. The sockliner is produced with a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing technology.

This wide-fit shoe features a redesigned external heel counter that helps keep the foot stable and provides a more comfortable stride. The OrthoLite X-55 sockliner improves comfort, while 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.

This is a road shoe with a 10 mm heel drop and a weight of 270 g/9.5 oz. It provides neutral or stability support, with maximum cushioning.

Underpronation, also known as supination, is when the outside of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. This results in pressure on the outer toes during push-off, and can lead to conditions like plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain. Individuals with high arches often experience underpronation.

Neutral foot type is when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. Push-off is experienced with even distribution from the front of the foot, and getting injured is less likely due to the effective shock absorption, though not impossible. Individuals with normal-sized arches often have a neutral foot type.

Overpronation is when the foot lands on the outside of the heel and then rolls inward, transferring excess weight. This results in pressure mainly on the big toe and second toe during push-off, and can lead to conditions like shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs. Individuals with low arches or flat feet often experience overpronation.

For stability, this shoe 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.

For comfort, the shoe offers cushioning to prioritize soft landings and impact absorption, helping to maintain comfort on longer runs. Similar shoes include the GEL-PULSE and TRABUCO MAX BOUNCE.

For energy return, the shoe provides a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, with energy return that propels the wearer forward. Similar shoes include the SUPERBLAST and DYNABLAST SPEED.

For racing, the shoe offers a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and faster finish, helping to conserve energy when every second counts. Similar shoes include the METASPEED and MAGIC SPEED.
