Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 trainers are engineered for runners seeking maximum stability and long-distance comfort, making them an excellent choice for daily training. Featuring the updated 4D Guidance System and advanced midsole cushioning, these shoes provide a supportive ride that helps manage pronation throughout long sessions; however, the structured design may feel too substantial for those who prefer lightweight or minimalist racing flats.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 31 is specifically designed with stability features like the 4D Guidance System to assist those who overpronate or have flat arches.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, these are optimized for road surfaces. The mesh upper and outsole are not designed for the rocky, uneven terrain found on technical trails.
How often should I replace them?
Typically, these trainers should be replaced every 400 to 500 miles, depending on your weight, running surface, and intensity of use.
Are they waterproof?
No, they feature a breathable engineered mesh designed for airflow, which means they are not water-resistant or waterproof.
Do these run true to size?
ASICS trainers generally run true to size, but always ensure a thumb-width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe for best performance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the top of the foot
Try a window-lacing technique to relieve tension on the specific area of the midfoot.
Accumulated dirt on mesh upper
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry mud; follow up with a damp cloth for deeper cleaning.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent stability features for overpronators
- High level of underfoot cushioning and energy return
- Highly breathable upper material

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 31s last, perform a standard lace adjustment upon your first wear to find the right lockdown for your foot shape. Compatibility is universal across standard running road surfaces. For care, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe down the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the shoes become wet inside, remove the liners and stuff with newspaper to air dry naturally, keeping them away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can damage the foam cushioning.
