Product Information

Full details

The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 is a premium stability trainer designed for adult male runners seeking maximum comfort and support during long-distance road runs. By integrating advanced technology like the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM and FF BLAST PLUS foam, it provides a balanced, cushioned ride that protects joints from high-impact landings; however, its specialized stability features may feel overly structured for runners who prefer a more minimalist or neutral platform.

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for trails?

These trainers are designed primarily for road use; while the ASICSGRIP outsole offers good traction, they are not intended for technical or loose trail terrain.

How do I know if the Gel-Kayano 31 is the right stability level for me?

This model is best suited for runners who experience mild to moderate overpronation and require guidance to keep their gait aligned.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The weight is approximately 305g based on a standard UK size 8.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the OrthoLite X-55 sockliner is removable and can be replaced with custom orthotics if required.

How long should these shoes last?

Typically, these trainers will provide optimal support and cushioning for 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.

Does the reflective detail work in total darkness?

The reflective details are designed to increase your visibility to oncoming headlights or lights in low-light conditions, but they are not active light sources.

Troubleshooting

Heel slipping while running

Try using the extra eyelet at the top of the shoe for a 'runner's loop' lacing technique to lock the heel in place.

Foot feels too tight during long runs

Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces slightly before starting your run or consider a lighter-weight sock.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent adaptive stability for overpronators
  • High-level impact protection and cushioning
  • Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable in heat
  • Durable outsole provides reliable grip on road surfaces
  • Reflective elements increase safety for low-light runs

Cons

  • Stability features may feel too rigid for some neutral runners
  • Heavier than minimalist racing shoes
  • High-stack cushioning changes ground feel
  • Specific fit requires accurate sizing for maximum benefit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 31s, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fit Check: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe to account for foot swelling during long runs.
  2. Lacing: Utilize the standard lacing system to secure the midfoot; avoid over-tightening the laces, which can cause pressure points on the top of the foot.
  3. Cleaning: Remove surface dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth with mild soap. Never machine wash or tumble dry your trainers, as high heat can damage the foam and adhesives.
  4. Drying: Air dry only in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators.
  5. Rotation: Allow the foam to recover by rotating with a different pair of shoes if you run every day.
