FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 31 good for marathons?
Yes, it is specifically designed for long-distance training and endurance running thanks to its emphasis on comfort and stability.
How does this differ from the Gel-Kayano 30?
The Gel-Kayano 31 refines the stability of the 30 with updated 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM technology for a more seamless and responsive transition.
Can I use these for trail running?
These are optimized for road surfaces. While they can handle light gravel paths, they lack the aggressive lugs required for technical trail terrain.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes of this caliber should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Is this shoe suitable for neutral runners?
While it is a stability-focused shoe, many neutral runners use it for recovery runs when their feet require extra support due to muscle fatigue.
Does it come in other sizes?
The Gel-Kayano series is available in a wide range of adult sizes; please check your local retailer for specific stock availability beyond the UK 10 provided here.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pressure on the arch during initial runs
The shoe features an adaptive stability system; give your feet a break-in period of 20-30 miles to allow the foam to conform to your specific gait pattern.
Excessive moisture inside the shoe
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton, which traps perspiration and leads to discomfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your ASICS Gel-Kayano 31, ensure you have selected your standard athletic shoe size; the adaptive fit is designed to accommodate standard foot volumes. For care, avoid putting these shoes in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can degrade the midsole foam and adhesive integrity. Instead, remove the sockliner and hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators or intense direct sunlight to preserve the cushioning properties.
