FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano series is well-regarded for its support features, which are often beneficial for individuals with flat feet or overpronation.
Can I use these for trail running?
These trainers are primarily designed for road and hard-surface running. Using them on technical, rocky, or muddy trails may cause premature wear and provide insufficient grip.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, it is recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and individual gait.
Are these shoes waterproof?
No, the Gel-Kayano 31 is designed with a breathable mesh upper for airflow, which means they are not waterproof and will absorb water if stepped in deep puddles.
How do I find the right size?
The Gel-Kayano 31 follows standard adult sizing. It is recommended to have about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during a run.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to perform a 'runner's loop' or heel lock lacing to secure the ankle.
Feeling discomfort after short runs
Ensure the shoe size is correct and consider using a thinner sock if the shoe feels too tight, or check for debris inside the footbed.
Outsole debris accumulation
Use a soft brush to dislodge small stones or grit from the tread patterns to maintain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 31 trainers, always ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation. These shoes are compatible with standard running socks; avoid overly thick woolen socks that may compromise the breathable design.
Care Instructions:
- Clean by wiping with a soft, damp cloth after runs in muddy or dusty conditions.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally; never place them in a clothes dryer as excessive heat can damage the foam cushioning.
- Remove the insoles periodically to air them out and prevent odor buildup.
- Rotate your shoes if training daily to allow the foam to decompress and recover its shape.
