FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Gel-Kayano 31 is primarily optimized for hard, flat surfaces like roads and pavements, and may not provide enough traction for technical trail conditions.
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.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM is specifically designed to provide structural support for various foot types, including those requiring extra stability.
Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if preferred.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability rather than water resistance, so they are best used in dry conditions.
Troubleshooting
Heel slippage during runs
Ensure the shoe is tied securely using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to lock the heel in place.
Foam feeling compressed
Allow the shoes to rest for at least 24 hours between runs to let the cushioning materials decompress.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 lasts as long as possible, remove any debris or mud immediately after runs using a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this can degrade the internal cushioning foam. Ensure the shoes are air-dried in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heat sources, which can warp the materials. For the best fit, ensure your foot is properly measured to allow for slight swelling that naturally occurs during long-distance efforts.
