The ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 is built to be a workhorse for runners who require reliable stability without compromising on comfort. In real-world scenarios, its 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ shines by intelligently guiding your foot through its natural motion, reducing the strain associated with overpronation. This translates to a more efficient and less fatiguing run, especially over longer distances.
Runners will immediately notice the plush feel of the PureGEL™ cushioning combined with the energetic rebound of the FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO foam. This combination creates a sensation of running on clouds, yet still provides enough responsiveness to maintain a good pace. Whether you're tackling a daily training run, preparing for a marathon, or simply enjoying a comfortable jog, the Gel-Kayano 31 maintains its supportive and cushioned feel from the first mile to the last.
The engineered mesh upper ensures your feet remain cool and comfortable, adapting to the foot's movement and preventing hot spots. The small reflective details are a practical addition for safety-conscious runners, making you more visible during early morning or evening outings. This shoe is a reliable choice for runners prioritizing both sustained comfort and critical stability across various distances on paved surfaces.
Lacing: Ensure laces are snug but not overly tight. Use all eyelets for a secure fit, especially the top eyelet if you experience heel slippage.
Break-In Period: While comfortable from day one, allow for a few short runs (3-5 miles) to fully break in the shoes and allow them to adapt to your foot shape.
Sizing: Always try on running shoes at the end of the day when your feet are slightly swollen, and ensure there's a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
Runner Type: Ideal for runners seeking maximum stability and cushioning, particularly those who overpronate (foot rolls inward excessively).
Terrain: Best suited for road running, track workouts, and paved paths.
Gender/Age: Designed for adult female runners.
Activity: Primarily for running, but also suitable for walking or general gym activities requiring comfortable footwear.
Cleaning: Gently clean shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage materials and adhesives.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like dryers or radiators, as this can cause materials to shrink or crack.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider removing insoles to air out after particularly sweaty runs.
Rotation: If you run frequently, consider rotating between two pairs of shoes to allow each pair to fully dry out and recover between runs, extending their lifespan.
