FAQs

What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 best suited for?

The Gel-Kayano 31 is ideal for runners who need stability, particularly those with mild to moderate overpronation. It's also excellent for neutral runners seeking maximum cushioning for long-distance training and daily runs.

How do I know if I need a stability shoe like the Gel-Kayano 31?

If your foot tends to roll inward excessively (overpronate) when you run, or if you experience discomfort or pain in your feet, ankles, or knees after running, you may benefit from a stability shoe. Consulting a running specialist can help confirm your needs.

What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 31 and other ASICS models?

The Gel-Kayano series is ASICS' flagship stability shoe, known for its combination of maximum cushioning and advanced stability features. Other models may focus more on neutral cushioning, speed, or a lighter feel.

Are these shoes good for walking or everyday wear?

While designed for running, the Gel-Kayano 31's comfort and support make them suitable for walking and general everyday wear, especially for individuals who stand for long periods or need extra cushioning.

How long do ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 trainers typically last?

With proper care and regular use for running, most ASICS Gel-Kayano trainers are expected to last between 300 to 500 miles (approximately 480 to 800 kilometers). This can vary based on running surface, user weight, and gait.

Can I wash my ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 trainers in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash your ASICS trainers. The harshness of the machine can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the preferred method.

What does the 'Paris' edition signify?

The 'Paris' edition typically refers to a specific colorway or design theme associated with a particular release or event. In this case, it denotes the distinctive green and yellow color scheme.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure across the foot. If still uncomfortable, consider if a different size or width is needed.

Squeaking noise during wear

This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more runs. If the noise persists, check if moisture is trapped or if there's friction between components; a light dusting of baby powder inside can sometimes help.

Reduced traction on wet surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. For significantly worn outsoles, consider replacement. Note that specialized traction is not guaranteed on all wet surfaces.

Discomfort after long runs

Verify the shoe size and fit are correct. Ensure the lacing provides adequate support without being too constrictive. Consider if the shoe's support level is appropriate for your foot type and running style.

Pros and Cons

  • Offers excellent stability for runners needing support.
  • Provides superior cushioning for comfort on long runs.
  • Breathable materials enhance comfort during exercise.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting use.
  • Secure lacing system allows for a customized fit.

Cons

  • May be too structured for runners who prefer a minimalist feel.

  • Fit can be a personal matter; trying them on is recommended.
  • Higher price point compared to basic training shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size by checking your foot measurement against the ASICS sizing guide. The lacing system can be adjusted for a personalized snug fit.

Compatibility: The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 is designed primarily for running and general athletic training. While compatible with most running surfaces (road, track, light trails), they are not intended for highly technical terrain or specialized sports like basketball or soccer.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap diluted in water and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Never place them in a dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them in a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and moisture.
