FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 31 good for overpronation?
Yes, the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM is specifically engineered to provide stability and support, making it an excellent choice for runners who experience overpronation.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Kayano 31 should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While designed for running, the stable platform provides decent support for general gym use, though it is not optimized for heavy lateral-movement sports.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, these are standard performance sneakers and are not rated as waterproof or water-resistant.
How do I choose the correct size?
We recommend choosing your standard UK shoe size. If you plan to wear thick performance socks, ensure there is about a thumb's width of space at the front of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight during long runs
Try adjusting your lacing pattern to a runner's loop or loosening the laces across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling.
Visible dirt on the mesh upper
Allow the mud to dry completely before brushing it off, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap.
Foam feels unresponsive
Ensure you are allowing at least 24 hours between runs to allow the foam cell structure to recover its shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 31s, rotate them with another pair of shoes to allow the foam to decompress between runs. For cleaning, hand wash the exterior using a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and cold water. Avoid placing them in a washing machine or dryer, as the heat and agitation can damage the specialized cushioning technologies. Ensure the shoes are completely air-dried away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Because these are standard UK sizing, ensure your foot is measured while wearing your preferred running socks to confirm the best fit before your first long run.
