Advice for Road Runners: The ASICS Men's Gel-Kayano 31 Running Shoes build on the success of the previous version. They provide added stability and a lot of cushioning for road running.

Underfoot Feel

There is a lot of cushioning underneath your feet. A full-length section of ASICS' FF Blast™ provides soft, energetic cushioning. At the heel area, PureGEL™ technology helps to increase shock absorption and smooth the transition through the gait cycle.

From a stability perspective, ASICS' 4D Guidance System™ provides adaptive stability for your feet and legs.

In comparison to the previous edition of these shoes, the grip has been improved. The HYBRID ASICSGRIP™ has been designed to improve grip and provide more softness underfoot.

Upper Fit

Again, in comparison to the Gel-Kayano 30, the upper has a couple of updates. An engineered knit upper has been replaced with an engineered mesh upper. The engineered mesh upper is designed to help keep your feet cool and comfortable on long-distance runs.

A knit collar construction provides a modern look, while an advanced pull-tab should make it easy to put on/take off these ASICS running shoes.

Ideal Run Type

The ASICS Men's Gel-Kayano 31 Running Shoes are best suited to long-distance road running. As they provide added stability and a lot of cushioning, they are best for runners seeking those features for their training runs.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).
