ASICS Men's Gel-Kayano 29 Running Shoes

The engineered knit upper of this product enhances breathability. At least 50% of the shoe's main upper material is made from recycled materials, reducing waste and carbon emissions. This helps keep the foot stable and provides a more comfortable stride.

The sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing technology. This improves medial support and midfoot integrity.

The redesigned external heel counter helps keep the foot stable and provide a more comfortable stride. The LITETRUSS technology further enhances medial support and midfoot integrity.

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's durability.

This shoe is suitable for road use and has a 10mm heel drop. It weighs 299g/10.5oz and provides either neutral or stability support, with maximum cushioning.

Underpronation is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel at an increased angle, with minimal pronation, causing shock to the lower leg. This can lead to plantar fasciitis, shin splints, and ankle strain, and is associated with high arches.

Neutral foot type is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, effectively absorbing impact on the body. This foot type experiences even distribution from the front of the foot and is less likely to sustain injuries, though not impossible, due to effective shock absorption. It is associated with normal-sized arches.

Overpronation is characterized by the foot landing on the outside of the heel and then rolling inward, transferring excess weight. This can lead to shin splints, plantar fasciitis, bunions, and heel spurs, and is associated with low arches or flat feet.

The shoe offers three key benefits: stability, comfort, and energy return. Stability shoes provide a stable ride with controlled impact and smooth transitions, guiding the foot to the best position to help prevent injury. Comfort-focused shoes prioritize soft landings and impact absorption to maintain comfort on longer runs. Energy return shoes offer a bouncy, trampoline-like feel in every step, providing energy return that propels the wearer forward. There are also racing shoes that offer a lightweight, responsive feel for a fast start and finish, helping to conserve energy when every second counts.
