FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
Yes, the comfort and support provided by the Gel-Kayano 31 make them an excellent choice for individuals who stand or walk for long periods.
Is the sizing consistent with other ASICS models?
ASICS maintains standard sizing across most performance lines; if you have worn Gel-Kayano models before, you can generally select the same size.
Can I use these for trail running?
While durable, these trainers are primarily designed for road and gym use. They may lack the aggressive lug pattern needed for technical or muddy trails.
How often should I replace these trainers?
It is generally recommended to replace running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Does the beige colourway show dirt easily?
Like any light-coloured footwear, they may show dust or mud more clearly than darker shoes, but they can be spot-cleaned easily with a damp cloth.
Troubleshooting
Foot discomfort or pressure points
Try adjusting the lacing pattern to either increase or decrease tension across the midfoot or forefoot area.
Excessive moisture accumulation
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic socks and remove the inner sockliner after workouts to facilitate faster drying.
Outer sole traction decline
Check the tread for debris or small stones wedged in the grooves and clean them out to restore full contact with the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 31 trainers, perform a quick check of the laces and interior lining before your first run to ensure a customized fit. For maintenance, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized cushioning foams and adhesives. Instead, clean surface dirt using a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can warp the material. If you wear custom orthotics, the internal footbed is typically removable to accommodate your specific arch support needs.
