Finding a solid running shoe can be challenging. When I’m in the market for a new shoe, I’m looking for something that fits well, provides adequate support, and performs well on a variety of different terrains.As someone who has been running for 15 years, I’ve tried my fair share of lemons when it comes to shoes. While everyone is different and has their specific needs when searching for shoes, Asics has been my shoe of choice for years and, in my opinion, the Gel Kayano 29 is their best shoe to date.In short: Launched earlier this month, Asics Gel Kayano 29 is specifically designed for overpronators or those who need extra support. The shoe is comfortable, cushioned, and super-stable — from the forefoot to the sides to the updated heel.Asics Gel Kayano 29 SpecsWeight: 9.5 oz.Drop: 10 mmPrice: $160My Needs, and Who This Shoe Is For" data-src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354.jpg" data-srcset="https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354.jpg 2400w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-300x200.jpg 300w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-700x469.jpg 700w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-768x515.jpg 768w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1536x1029.jpg 1536w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-2048x1372.jpg 2048w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-360x240.jpg 360w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-240x160.jpg 240w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-120x80.jpg 120w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1200x804.jpg 1200w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-600x402.jpg 600w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1240x831.jpg 1240w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-620x415.jpg 620w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-588x394.jpg 588w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-294x197.jpg 294w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-382x256.jpg 382w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-191x128.jpg 191w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-293x195.jpg 293w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-200x133.jpg 200w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1220x817.jpg 1220w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-610x409.jpg 610w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1676x1123.jpg 1676w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-838x561.jpg 838w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-900x603.jpg 900w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-450x302.jpg 450w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1940x1300.jpg 1940w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-1880x1260.jpg 1880w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-149x100.jpg 149w, https://s3.amazonaws.com/images.gearjunkie.com/uploads/2022/08/Testing-Asics-Gel-Kayano-29-e1660676126354-299x200.jpg 299w">(Photo/Rebecca Parsons)I ran cross-country and track throughout high school and college and transitioned to racing half and full marathons after my collegiate years. These days, I mainly run for fun.My mileage is about half of what it used to be, but once a distance runner, always a distance runner. Typically, I’ll run anywhere from 4 to 6 miles, with the occasional double-digit runs on the weekends. I alternate between running on the road and the trails, so I’m always after a shoe that performs well on both.Despite my efforts, I have a long history of injuries, mainly in the form of stress fractures. While I know that there is a lot of research in support of minimalist shoes, I’ve found that stability shoes tend to work the best for me and help me avoid injuries. I also have a narrow foot, so I need a brand that runs narrower or offers a narrow shoe option.Initial Thoughts in TestingThe Gel Kayano 29 is advertised as a shoe specifically designed for overpronators or those that need extra support, which perfectly described what I was looking for. I’ve worn previous models of the Gel Kayano, and what keeps me
