Used to be an avid Hoka shoe fan, but I have become less enthusiastic about the brand over time. I decided to try these out and I absolutely love them no more foot pain.

Just as good as the Kayano 30s. I was worried they would not have good arch support, but they do. Super comfy and the toe box is wide enough for my hammer toe. Good for my arthritic feet with plantar fasciitis.

The shoes are so comfortable, but I had to go up 1/2 a size for the length. Unfortunately the shoe was too wide and my foot didn't stay in place when I went up in size.

My daughter in law introduced me to these shoes, having a profession where she is on her feet all day, and I couldnt be happier with them.

Strange cushions in footbed: The middle of my foot does not feel any cushioning while each side is highly cushioned. Also, even after wearing more than a half dozen times, the shoes seem stiff and clunky. Waiting for them to loosen up, as I paid good money for them.

I am trying to replace my Gel Kayano 27. Have always worn size 9.5 medium and Gel Kayano for years! These Gel Kayano 31 are HUGE! The toe box is VERY WIDE and the back of the sneaker has an extra liner and high pull strap that I can only imagine would rub your heel and style that looks just like a Hoka. Sadly, returning them and will try to find another manufacturer with similar style and fit of the "old" Gel Kayano. Wish Asics would leave a good sneaker alone.

I bought these just for the gym. I mostly do Zumba which has a lot of side-to-side movement. I’ve worn these to one class so far and they were great! No breaking in period, no blisters or rubbing. Good, comfy support and I’d recommend them.

These light shoes makes running feel effortless! Zero break in, knew the second I slide my foot in they were a fave.On yourself a favor and try these asap. I am an under pronater and these help get the foot neutral for a smooth ride.

ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 fit my narrow foot perfectly! I have purchased many different brands over the years and these are The Best. I’ll continue to buy ASICS.

Excellent support and very comfortable. The back tab on the shoe has been fixed. The Gel-Kayano 30 back tab was difficult so the 31 now works well.

These look great and so far feel good after a thorough lacing adjustment. I’m not a runner but a daily walker with plantar fasciitis in my right heel. I switched from HOKA after seeing ASICS gel kayanos recommended for PF. These are definitely more stable than my HOKAs which I appreciate. The worst part about these is the soles are SO squeaky on the tiled areas in my building and it’s kind of awkward. Has not improved yet but hoping after a little more cement time they’ll be scuffed just enough to squeak way less on tile.

Not all GEL-KAYANO 31 are the same. I recently wrote a review about the Special Edition, brown and orange GEL-KAYANO 31s that I had to return because the fit was not the same as the first pair that I purchased and loved. This second pair of the blue/lavender that I just bought is exactly the same as my first blue/lavender pair and I love them as much as the first. I don't understand how one color combination can be so different from another of the same style. I can only conclude that there is/was a quality control issue.

Just tried my new Gel-Kayano 31 shoes. I think they are cutting them higher on the sides or something because they weren't as comfortable as Gel-Kayanos in the past. I went up a size and that could have something to do with it too. That is why I gave them 4 stars instead of 5.

Typically I’m an 8-1/2, but a 9-1/2 in athletic shoes. My new ASICS are a perfect fit for my somewhat narrow feet and achy arthritic toes…I think I literally sighed when I put them on!

Seriously comfortable! I LOVE the inner cushion. I feel like I'm walking on a cloud. My only dislike is the extra bit of sole that bubbles out under the heel. It's actually caught multiple times while going down the stairs. It's a bit unsafe and unsightly (I'm not a fan of the trend of giant soles like the Hooka brand). If it weren't for the sole, it'd be 5 stars.

Went to a wide and it really helped. These are not super wide like Hokas are, but it lets my toes move and my feet dont look freakishly big. I love the new loop on the shoe back so I dont have to use a shoehorn to slide them on. Even though these are maximal cushion, they arent bouncy and you dont sink in them.
