Features

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 31 combines innovative cushioning, adaptive stability and lightweight performance for an exceptional ride.

This premium stability shoe features energetic FF BLAST PLUS ECO midsole foam for cloud-like softness. In our review of the GEL-Kayano 31, run tester Spencer said, “I love the incredibly plush landing, which lasts through the entirety of my runs. As a higher cushion model, the Kayano 31 runs quite efficiently. The tall stack height still offers a lightweight feel instead of a clunky experience.”

Combined with a 4D Guidance System and an internal GEL cushioning compound in the heel for soft landings and smooth stability, the GEL-Kayano 31 is an incredible luxe and plush daily trainer that’s perfect for everything from long runs to standing on your feet all day.

Details:

  • Upper: A new engineered mesh upper and knit collar construction give this shoe a luxurious step-in experience while still keeping things breathable. Plus, an advanced pull-tab makes it easy to get the shoe on and off.
  • Midsole: FF BLAST PLUS ECO foam, ASICS’ softest and most energetic midsole foam made with 24 percent bio-based content gives you a plush and energetic underfoot experience. Then, the revolutionary 4D Guidance System provides on-demand pronation control through a flared midsole, wide base and medial guidance foam. Finally, lightweight PureGEL cushioning in the rearfoot delivers exceptional impact absorption.
  • Outsole: A combination of strategically placed ASICSGRIP™ and AHARPLUS™ outsole materials improves grip and softness without compromising durability.

What’s New

The GEL-Kayano 31 comes upgraded with a new engineered mesh upper and knit collar construction for a modernized look and amazing step-in feel that doesn’t compromise on weight or support. The outsole was also updated with a combination of ASICSGRIP™ and AHARPLUS™ rubber.

Who It’s Best For

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 31 is a high-cushioned stability shoe for runners looking for a combination of softness and support during their runs.

“The Gel-Kayano 31 is tremendous for any type of distance running, ranging from 5K to marathon training,” says Spencer in our Kayano 31 review. “There was more turnover than I expected when I increased my cadence, and the shoe invites for a little bit of speed on account of its slight forward tilt. It’s agile enough for quick, short runs but durable enough to put miles and miles into.”

Why You’ll Love It

You’ll love the adaptive stability features that keep you feeling supported when your legs get tired and the cloud-like cushioning that makes runs feel like a breeze.
