FAQs
Is the Gel-Kayano 31 suitable for neutral runners?
While designed primarily for stability, neutral runners who prefer a structured, supportive feel during long distances often find the cushioning quite comfortable.
Does this shoe provide arch support?
Yes, the 4D Guidance System is specifically engineered to provide integrated support for the arch and foot alignment.
Can I use these for gym workouts?
While great for running, the high stack height and stability focus may feel less stable for heavy lateral gym exercises; they are best kept for road running.
How often should I replace these shoes?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300-500 miles, depending on your running surface and body weight.
Are these shoes water-resistant?
They feature a breathable mesh upper, which is intended for ventilation, not water resistance. They will get wet in heavy rain.
Where were these shoes designed?
They were designed at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science in Japan.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels tight after long runs
Feet naturally swell during exercise; try loosening the laces during the middle or end of your run to accommodate increased volume.
Visible wear on the outsole
Inspect your gait for heavy heel striking or scuffing; regular rotation with another pair of shoes can help extend the lifecycle of the foam.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Kayano 31, it is recommended to allow the foam to decompress for 24 hours between heavy usage sessions. When cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dried mud or debris from the outsole and wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap; never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can degrade the cushioning properties of the midsole foam. Ensure the laces are adjusted to lock the midfoot securely without causing pressure points across the top of the foot.
