FAQs
Are the Gel-Kayano 31 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The engineered mesh upper provides some natural stretch to accommodate various foot widths, though runners with wider feet should ensure the lacing is adjusted appropriately.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While they are primarily designed for running, the stability features make them a decent choice for general gym use, though they are not specifically engineered for heavy lateral-movement sports like CrossFit.
How often should I replace these shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and intensity.
Do the reflective details work for night running?
Yes, the small integrated reflective details are designed to catch ambient light, increasing your visibility to motorists in low-light environments.
What is the primary difference between this and the Gel-Kayano 30?
The Gel-Kayano 31 builds upon the 30 series with refined upper comfort and updated PureGEL placement for more efficient shock attenuation.
Is this model better for neutral runners or overpronators?
These trainers are primarily designed for overpronators, offering the structural support needed to keep the foot in a neutral position, though some neutral runners may appreciate the extra support for recovery days.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage while running
Try using the 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' lacing technique using the final eyelet to secure the heel more firmly.
Upper material showing dust or grime
Use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove dry dirt from the mesh weave before wiping with a damp cloth.
Midsole feeling less responsive over time
Allow the foam to decompress for at least 24 hours between long runs; if the cushioning remains flat after 400-500 miles, it may be time for a replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Gel-Kayano 31, begin by loosening the laces fully to accommodate your foot shape before your first run. The size provided is UK 6.5; ensure you are wearing appropriate running socks to test the fit, as feet tend to swell during exercise. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, which can degrade the midsole foam. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. If the interior gets wet, remove the sockliner and let the shoes air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
