FAQs

What type of runner is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 best for?

The Gel-Kayano 31 is best suited for adult female runners who overpronate and require a high level of stability and cushioning for daily training and long-distance running.

How do I know if I need a stability shoe like the Gel-Kayano 31?

If your feet tend to roll inward excessively (overpronation) during your stride, or if you experience arch pain or shin splints, a stability shoe like the Gel-Kayano 31 can provide beneficial support.

What is the main difference between the Gel-Kayano 30 and 31?

The Gel-Kayano 31 features an updated FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning for a softer and more responsive feel, along with potential refinements in upper fit and stability integration compared to previous models.

How long do ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 trainers typically last?

With proper care and regular use for running, the Gel-Kayano 31 typically lasts between 300 to 500 miles before the cushioning and support begin to degrade significantly.

Can I wear the Gel-Kayano 31 for walking?

Yes, the cushioning and support make them comfortable for walking, although they are primarily engineered for the biomechanics of running.

Are these shoes waterproof?

No, the engineered knit upper is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions and light rain, but not for prolonged exposure to wet environments.

What does the 'Light Celadon/Safety Yellow' color mean?

This refers to the specific colorway. 'Light Celadon' is a pale green hue, and 'Safety Yellow' is a bright, high-visibility yellow accent color used on the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Try adjusting the lacing pattern or replacing the insoles with a thinner option. Break them in gradually with shorter runs.

Reduced cushioning or responsiveness.

The cushioning may naturally decrease over time with extensive use. Consider replacing the shoes if they have exceeded their typical lifespan (approximately 300-500 miles).

Slipping or poor traction.

Check the outsole for excessive wear or debris. Clean the outsole with water. If the wear is significant, it may be time to replace the shoes.

Upper material feels restrictive.

Ensure laces are not tied too tightly. The engineered knit should offer a conforming fit; if it still feels restrictive, this model might not be the best fit for your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent shock absorption for reduced fatigue on long runs.
  • Provides significant stability for runners who overpronate.
  • Durable outsole designed for extended use.
  • Comfortable and breathable upper material.
  • Responsive cushioning enhances the running experience.

Cons

  • May be too structured for neutral runners seeking a minimalist feel.
  • The specific 'Light Celadon/Safety Yellow' color may not appeal to everyone.
  • As a stability shoe, it might feel slightly heavier than neutral alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. For the best fit, we recommend trying them on at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen.

Compatibility: The Gel-Kayano 31 is designed for road running and general training. It is particularly beneficial for runners who require stability due to overpronation. While durable, it is not intended for technical trail running or intense gym workouts.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents or solvents.
  2. Drying: Remove insoles and laces, and allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Never machine wash or tumble dry.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and damage.
