Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano 31

Excellent show!

Loved the shoe style & color however size ran shorter than what I anticipated.

This pair is identical in nnsme model, etc, but did not fit…toe box not as wide and deep

half size up is correct, but chunky bottom and feet look so long when sizing up

Been wearing ASICS Gel Kayano for 20+ years. Some design changes are good, others great and others horrible- for my feet. Knowing this, I read many reviews, watch videos etc of the latest design when ready to buy. This redesign provide excellent stability. And they breathe well too. The heel cushion is in the outside of the shoe, not the interior section directly under ones heel, which is perfect (for me). I have flat, wide feet and for me the 7 wide in this latest redesign is a bit too wide for one of my feet, but that’s always a risk, easily remedied with thicker socks. Love this latest Gel Kayano.

Good fit and size. Extremely comfortable. Great color combo.

I loved the look of the shoe but it did not fit well. The toe box was too small, not roomy enough even in a wide size.

needed a half size bigger but great sneaker and comfortable and support.

I have had Asics before without any issues. Lately, I have been wearing New Balance. I bought these based on a recommendation about my gait and walking pattern. Here is what I have to say: Out of the box, they fit nicely. I have been wearing them for walks 3-5 days a week, usually on a track or on flat surfaces for a few weeks so I feel I have given them enough time to see what they are about. I have flat, wide feet and the left shoe hurts my arch. I cannot put an insole in because the heel is stiff and the insole I have won't flex to fit. But it does not feel great with the way it is without an insole. It eats up your low socks! Sooooooo friggen annoying - I wear low sport socks and when I walk, they are eaten up by the shoe and I have to constantly stop and fix them. Unfortunately you do not realize this until you have already worn them out and then too late for return. The laces are not long, just enough for a single tie. As these are wide shoes, I would assume the laces would be longer to accommodate. So as it is, I cannot use another lacing method to lock the heel in to prevent the socks being eaten up. The right shoe hurt my heel initially and rubbed it weirdly. And it gave me a blister on the outside of the ball of my foot. I have not had a blister on my foot for YEARS! :( Overall, I am just not happy with these.

Great fit, just wonderful

The sneaker has a higher base than previous models.

The last pair of Aisics I bought were the Gel Kayano 29 Narrow Width fit my very narrow feet like a glove. I loved them. and have worn them out. The Gel Kayano 31 Narrow width that I just purchased fit completely different. They are bulky and very wide for my foot through the toe and arch area. I'm so disappointed. Fortunately, Zappos allows me that freedom. Thank you very much Zappos:)

Great shoe

nice shoes, arch not support. L/R hurt inside arch.

What the heck, ASICS? I loved all other years of Gel-Kanayo. The last ones I have are 29. Whatever you did to 31 is awful. I have a bunion, and the seam of the tongue presses directly on it. These are going back and I need to find a new brand of running shoes. :(

I purchased these for my daughter. We loved the shoe, but the toe box was too wide for her.
