Building upon the success from Kayano 30, Asics have tweaked the Kayano 31 with a few new features. This update introduces a new ASICSGrip outsole, delivering improved traction over Kayano 30 and a refined upper with an added pull tab to enhance ease of wear. The Kayano 31 continues to feature FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam and PureGEL technology in the midsole, for a smooth, cushioned and stable ride. The innovative 4D Guidance System Asics introduced in Kayano 30 has been rolled over into the Kayano 31, featuring a wide midsole surface area, medial convex geometry, lateral decoupling groove and guidance line which ensures a stable and supportive stride. The Kayano 31 is crafted for runners seeking a max-cushion, stability-focused daily trainer, perfect for easy and long runs. If you've enjoyed Kayano 30, you'll feel at home in the 31.

Asics changed a winning formula. I have owned 6 pairs of Gel Kayano, loved them and would rate them 5 stars. The Gel Kayano 31 is disappointing. The colors look very different than the pics and the fit is not as snug and supportive for my feet. The good thing is that they run a little wide and I have wider than average feet. Will not buy these again.

Comfiest shoes I’ve ever worn that have helped me reduce overall feet pain and plantar fasciitis. They were recommended by my podiatrist that have arch support and a wider toe box. They a good middle ground shoe that are stylish and comfy. I have out gel insoles too to help with comfort of standing all day.

These are what my podiatrist calls “gold” level shoes, top of the top for my fractured big toe, can’t even feel the pain in these. And they very in trend right now as chunky soles have recently been made very popular. My wife loves them too because they add 3 inches to my height. Can I wear them to a fancy dinner? No. But can I walk for days on end in these with forward progress towards my recovery goals? Absolutely

Very happy. Great shoe very comfortable.Very happy
I have flat feet and need to wear support shoes while at work all day. My last three pairs of shoes were the highest support shoes of three different brands. These were the best feeling ones for me. They felt like they were made for my feet. An excellent support shoe!!
Perfect fit for described size. Cushing is fantastic, very light.
Nice support in the sole and the durability of the shoe has been solid.
Very little difference to the model before (Kayano 30). Foam soles have not changed at all and gel under the balls of the feet doesn’t work well causing pain. Overall disappointed with the last pair as well as these. Not worth the inflated price, I would recommend searching outside of ASICS at the moment.
“Hey! I just have to tell you how much I absolutely love my new runners! They’re so comfortable and stylish, I couldn’t be happier with them. I took them out for a spin today, and it felt like walking on clouds. Best decision ever!”
Great fit. Very comfortable because of the wide fit.
