Customer Reviews ASICS GEL-Kayano 31

Bought these for my trip to Italy for 11 days and I LOVE THEM!!

The shoe now propels you forward, rolling like a Hoka. I returned it right away. ASICS is getting away from what it did so well.

I received two pairs last weeks and like the color grey/blue which I can wear with my Jean, it looks beautiful. But if the height in bottom can be added another 1 to 2 cm, I will buy another couples of pairs has different color to go with my Jean and pants.

UNFORTUNATELY, THESE ARE NOT WIDE ENOUGH FOR MY FEET. I WORE THEM FOR 4 HOURS AND MY FEET WENT NUMB.

very heavy. slowed me down on my runs. would not recommend. narrow toe box

Frankly, I cannot give you an honest review. I needed a longer (larger) size and your website and phone were "unavailable" for a period of 5 days for me to arrange a return and repurchase. I gave up. The colors and style was great The shoes are a winner in my sister's eyes and feet so I thought I'd try them. Unfortunately your customer service and availability and website ruined my entire experience. I live 45 miles from an Asics store. I had high hopes for these shoes in style and comfort for my bunions. Lost me as a customer unless you come up with some amazing way to make me a believer in your on-line service.

Just bought these and FINALLY a pair that fits again. For the last few years, the toe box was too big. These fi!! Perfect narrow running shoes with a lot of cushioning. Please please please provide more colors black is boring!! Id buy a ton of other colors!!

I have bad arthritis in both knees. These shoes absorb more shock than most of my sneakers. It helps immensely with pain. Second, I think I have under pronation, basically I walk on my arches. These shoes push my arch up and make my steps more even in my foot. I would like to own these in every color. Its like walking on a literal cloud.

very comfortable shoes. Initially, the squeaked a lot, but after wearing them for a couple of days, that stopped. I am very glad I didn't return them!

I have been wearing Kayanos for the past 13 years, to the point my mom would buy then for me every christmas and birthday because those are MY shoes and nothing else would do. Then came the 31s and they look like Hokas, and the heel depth is huge. I feel like I am falling forward. The difference from 29 to 30 to 31 is crazy. Sometimes change is good but if I wanted a Hoka, I would have bought Hokas.

I purchased these shoes since they were recommended to me by an associate. The insole it comes with is super cheap. I usually walk 7 miles each day and these shoes gave me the most painful blisters. Huge disappointment since they are highly regarded based on design and comfort

Very comfortable shoe. On the heavier side. Very stable. Just why I bought them. Fits true to size

Navy color is hideous but shoe itself fits and provides great stability. Wish there was navy. Would return them but doctor recommended them and need them. Disappointed.

Perfect fit in Narrow. PLEASE make more colors available in 2A width!

Gone is the shoe Ive ran religiously in for 15 years and now its been replaced with a clunky platform shoe that feels like its taped on your foot with masking tape because the quality has gone down so much. Kayano set itself apart for years as being the highest stability shoe on the market with neat looking outer guide rail placement. Now it looks like every other shoe and doesnt do the job it advertises. The width has gotten wider and the stack height is ridiculous, not to mention the stability has gone way down. Have a wide option for a reason, no need to widen the whole line. The 28 was the last decent Kayano, minus the heal material breaking down prematurely. Asics do yourself a favor and bring back the best stability shoe on the market and set yourself apart again!

Oh ASICS what have you done to the Gel-Kayano! Ive been wearing these shoes for a long long time and I just go from one model to the next but this 31 is so different and not as comfortable to me. I do love the heal and that it comes up higher on my anklegreat support there but the foot bed is completely different to me and not as comfortable. By the end of the day my feet actually hurt and that has never happened with a Kayano before. If you could combine the heal and the higher support with the Kayano 28 it would be an awesome shoe! The 28 was great!

Nonethis shoe was returned because too big; Nonethis shoe was returned because too big

Perfect fit, extremely comfortable! Looking to getting another pair to have as a spare

I need the narrow width so these are the best asics ever. I want more

Do not order from ASICS anymore! Despite the site saying they ship FedEx they ship Pandion. My package was declared permanently lost by pandion and ASICS still made me wait a full week to make sure it didnt show up. When asked if they could expedite the replacement two weeks later they refused and said it would ship regularly via pandion again. Terrible customer service, good luck getting the shoes.

Still the same comfortable stability shoe. These are slightly loose on my heal so it took a minute to get adjusted.

Wonderful Shoes! Great fit with extended sizes!!!!

These shoes are great, very comfortable and stylish. Easy to slip on and off. My one complaint is that they squeak like crazy on hospital floors! Most floors are fine, but the way they squeak on waxed/polished floors makes me wish I had chosen something different.

The fit is not so good and it's not that great for running, my toe and knees hurts badly. If there was an option to return I would have done so.

I dont like the high sole. Its not easy for me to move around in pickleball with those thick soles and I cant find a different ASICS shoe in a size 0
