By incorporating a unique design philosophy, ASICS has developed a shoe that is redefining what the future of stability footwear means. It's easy to understand why this will be ASICS's most anticipated release ever.
What a difference a shoe makes
What's the difference between the GEL-KAYANO™ 30 and GEL-KAYANO™ 31?
Stability has never felt better with the new ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31. Traditionally, stability meant stiff, inflexible, and uncomfortable. However, the 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ makes the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 shoe's stability properties feel even more comfortable. The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 sees refinement of this revolutionary stability technology.
Instead of bracing your feet to restrict movement, The 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ works with the movement of your body to provide stability where it's needed most.
And when you're tired, the integrated design adapits to your posture shift to provide advanced stability and comfort from start to finish.
Key changes to the ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31:
- New technical engineered mesh material in the upper is more breathable with an improved fit.
- The new rib knit collar including a new heel pull tab for a comfortable, secure fit around the ankle.
- The outsole is updated to HYBRID ASICSGRIP with AHAR+ in the heel for improved traction and durability on the road.
Who should wear the ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31?
The shoe is designed to offer extra support and control to those who need or appreciate it.
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 shoe gives extra support and control to keep feet stable and well-positioned during walking and running.
The advantage of the adaptive support and premium comfort features in the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 not only offers advanced stability but also a soft and comfortable feel underfoot.
Are ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 shoes good for flat feet?

While some stability shoes can restrict movement, the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 uses its 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ to provide just enough stability where and when it's needed. This integrated design achieves advanced stability and comfort by adapting to your body's posture shift when you get tired – it's clever like that.

Are the ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 shoes suitable for walking?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 are designed to offer adaptive stability and dynamic comfort for runners at any distance but are also suitable for walking.
In walking, your foot moves through similar motions as when you run, so a stability shoe such as the GEL-KAYANO™ can provide extra support to your foot, reduce excessive rolling, and provide a stable base.
And not just that, the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 has additional cushioned features that make the shoes not only stable but extremely comfortable as well.
Is ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 good for marathons?
Yes, the ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 offers both support and comfort making it an ideal marathon shoe for those who tend to heel strike, excessively roll inwards, have prolonged midstance timing, and overstride during their gait.
The GEL-KAYANO™ 31's 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ works with your body's movement to provide stability when and where it's needed most.
When you get tired, it adapts to your body's shift in posture, while its integrated design provides advanced stability. With a marathon being a high-impact event, shoes such as ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 31 with PureGEL™ technology will provide enhanced shock absorption, softer landings, and smoother transitions.
To run a marathon at your best and minimise any risk of injury, it's a good idea to choose shoes that provide optimum support and comfort. As all feet and running styles are different, so it's vital to find the shoes that meet your specific needs.
To find your perfect pair, we recommend testing several shoes, and running in them for at least 3 minutes (as during a run, the shoe's feel can differ considerably).
