Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 is designed for adult runners who require superior stability and cushioning during long-distance training or daily road runs. This model features an engineered mesh upper and advanced shock-absorption technology to provide a secure, breathable fit that protects joints during repetitive impact. While the shoe offers exceptional support, users should be aware that the high-tech stability features may feel slightly firmer than pure neutral racing shoes, making it best suited for distance consistency rather than explosive speed work.

FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 suitable for overpronators?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is specifically engineered with stability features to assist runners who overpronate.
Can I use these shoes for trail running?
While durable, this shoe is optimized for road and pavement surfaces; it may lack the aggressive lug depth required for technical, muddy trails.
How long should a pair of Gel-Kayano 31s last?
Generally, running shoes last between 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style, weight, and the surfaces you frequent.
Are the reflective details effective for night running?
Yes, the integrated reflective elements are designed to catch ambient light and improve your visibility to others in low-light conditions.
How does this differ from the Novablast series?
The Gel-Kayano focuses on stability and support, whereas the Novablast series is typically designed as a more neutral shoe with a focus on high energy return and a bouncy feel.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort or pressure points on the top of the foot
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to a 'window lacing' or 'parallel lacing' style to relieve pressure on the bridge of the foot.
Inner heel slippage while running
Use the final eyelet on the shoe to create a 'runner's loop' or 'heel lock' to ensure a tighter, more secure fit around the ankle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, verify your fit using the standard UK sizing provided. For new shoes, perform a 'break-in' period by walking in them or performing short, low-intensity runs before attempting longer distances. To maintain the life of the shoes, avoid machine washing; instead, spot clean the engineered mesh with a soft brush and mild soap. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam technology. Check the outsole periodically for debris lodged in the tread patterns to maintain optimal traction.
