The Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INXP will work with your older Thule square load bars. To fit on your 2008 Mazda 5, they would also need the Custom Fit Kit # INTR120. Those two parts will work together to make a complete set ready for your square crossbars. I attached a photo of it installed on a Mazda like yours.
I don't know what your original Thule feet specs were, but the Inno Feet # INXP have a weight capacity of 165 lbs which is great as I have seen other roof racks in this category with much lower weight capacities. The average recreational kayak is about 35-50 lbs, which means this set up would definitely work for your two kayaks.
I also looked around at the other possible fits for your 2008 Mazda 5, and it looks like the Inno # INXP is still the best and most affordable option out there. I especially approve of it due to its tried and true compatibility with older Thule square bars.
Hope this helped you find the best set up for your next kayaking adventure! If you're looking for kayak-related products, we also stock kayak carriers like the Thule Compass # TH890000 or fun kayak carts like the Malone ClipperTRX # MAL68FR to roll your kayaks from your car to the water.
