FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 good for overpronation?
Yes, it is designed specifically for stability and uses the 4D Guidance System to assist with proper stride alignment.
Can I use these for trail running?
These shoes are optimized for road and paved surfaces. While they can handle light gravel, they lack the aggressive lugs needed for technical trails.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
The standard version is made of breathable mesh and is not water-resistant. Avoid running through deep puddles to keep your feet dry.
What is the primary benefit of the FF Blast Plus Eco foam?
It provides a lightweight, responsive cushioning that offers an energized feel while being more environmentally conscious.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity of the stability systems and the foam cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight across the top of the foot
Try an alternative lacing pattern, such as skipping the eyelets in the tight area to reduce pressure.
Heel slippage while running
Use the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe to create a runner's loop (lock lacing) for a more secure fit around the ankle.
Midsole foam feels damp after a run
Remove the insole immediately and place the shoes in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 31 trainers, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the foam and glue structures. After running in wet conditions, remove the sockliner and stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture naturally at room temperature. Ensure you have the correct size for your foot shape; the UK 14 size is designed for larger feet, providing the necessary volume for a secure fit. If you use custom orthotics, the factory sockliner is removable to accommodate them without affecting the shoe's internal stability.
