The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 is engineered to deliver a highly stable and cushioned running experience. Its 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ actively works to stabilize your foot throughout your stride, making it an excellent choice for runners who overpronate or simply prefer a more guided feel. This allows you to maintain proper form and potentially run longer distances with reduced fatigue. The combination of PureGEL™ technology and FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam in the midsole ensures that every step is met with superior softness and responsiveness, absorbing impact effectively and providing a springy toe-off. This makes the shoe comfortable for extended training sessions, yet still responsive enough for shorter, quicker runs. The ASICSGRIP outsole ensures reliable traction, making the shoe versatile across various road surfaces. Whether you're embarking on a long-distance effort or just a quick jog after work, the Gel-Kayano 31 aims to provide consistent support and comfort, making each run feel secure and enjoyable.
Getting started with your Gel-Kayano 31 shoes is straightforward. The soft collar made of knit material is designed to make it easier to slide your foot into the shoe. Once on, ensure proper lacing for a secure yet comfortable fit. Take a few steps to gauge the fit and adjust laces as needed.
This shoe is specifically designed for adult female runners (available in UK 7.5 for this variant, with other sizes and color families available) who overpronate or those who simply appreciate a stable feeling during their runs. Its adaptive stability features cater to those needing additional support.
To maintain the performance and longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 running shoes:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For tougher grime, a soft brush can be used. Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents, as this can damage materials.
Drying: Air dry shoes naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or artificial heat sources like radiators, which can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight when not in use. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the outsole for excessive wear and the upper for any signs of damage to ensure continued performance and support.
