Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 is designed for adult runners who require superior stability and cushioning to support their training regimen, particularly over long distances. By integrating advanced 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM technology and soft PureGEL cushioning, this shoe provides a highly supportive and comfortable experience that minimizes joint impact. While it excels at delivering a smooth, stabilized ride, users should note that the emphasis on maximum structural support may feel bulkier compared to lightweight racing flats.

FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for trail running?
The Gel-Kayano 31 is specifically designed for road and paved surfaces. While it can handle light, groomed paths, it lacks the aggressive lugs required for technical trails.
How long should these shoes last?
Generally, running shoes like the Gel-Kayano 31 provide optimal support for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
Yes, the sockliner is removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The upper materials are designed for breathability rather than water resistance; they may allow water in during heavy rain.
What is the primary difference between this and neutral shoes?
The Gel-Kayano 31 includes stability features to prevent inward rolling of the foot, whereas neutral shoes provide cushioning without additional structural support.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the arch area
Ensure the laces are not overtightened; consider trying different lacing patterns to relieve pressure.
Foam appears compressed after a long run
The foam requires 24 hours to recover its structure; rotate with another pair of shoes if running daily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 31, ensure you have the correct fit, allowing roughly a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Care Instructions:
- Remove surface dirt after runs using a soft-bristled brush.
- Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth and mild soap if needed.
- Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
- Air dry naturally in a cool, shaded area away from direct sunlight or radiators to prevent material deformation.
