FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for flat feet?
Yes, the Gel-Kayano 31 is known for its stability features which often benefit runners with flat feet or overpronation.
Can I use these for marathon training?
Absolutely. The cushioning and support systems are specifically designed to provide comfort over the high mileage associated with marathon training.
Is the beige material easy to keep clean?
The mesh material is durable, but light colours are prone to showing dirt; it is recommended to spot clean them immediately after they get dirty to maintain their appearance.
What is the primary benefit of the Gel-Kayano series?
The primary benefit is the combination of plush cushioning and advanced support, which helps reduce impact forces and guides the foot effectively.
Should I size up in the Gel-Kayano 31?
The shoes typically fit true to size. If you prefer extra room for foot swelling during long runs, you may consider a half-size up.
Are these designed for men or women?
This specific model is designed for men, featuring a build and width profile tailored for male foot anatomy.
Troubleshooting
Visible debris in the sole tread
Use a dull plastic tool or brush to carefully dislodge rocks or mud from the grooves.
Foot feels slightly loose
Utilize the extra eyelet at the top of the lacing system to create a runner's loop for a more secure heel lock.
Excessive moisture inside after a run
Remove the insole and stuff the shoe with newspaper or a moisture-absorbing insert to speed up drying without damaging materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Gel-Kayano 31 trainers maintain their performance, replace the insoles with custom orthotics if necessary; the generous volume of the shoe accommodates most aftermarket inserts. For care, avoid machine washing, which can degrade the cushioning foams. Instead, spot clean the beige mesh upper with a soft-bristled brush, mild soap, and lukewarm water. Allow the shoes to air dry away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the structural stability components. Check the outsole regularly for debris caught in the traction pattern to maintain optimal grip.
