  • The Lamborghini of Running Shoes
Size: 10 Color: Black/Black
I'm a moderate distance runner who sticks mostly to treadmills these days. I do about two to three miles five days per week at a 5+ MPH speed. For as long as I can remember, I've been running in Asics Gel Kayanos (my prior pair were the Gel Kayano 27). Recently, I upgraded to the Gel Kayano 31, not because my previous pair had worn out, but because I essentially demoted them to outdoor/casual use (which is to say they have a lot of life left in them!). It's difficult to imagine, but Asics somehow always finds a way to improve upon the performance and design of each new Gel Kayano generation. The Gel Kayano 31 (as directly compared to the 27) brings a noticeable decrease in weight to the already lightweight formula via foam rubber and neoprene cushioning and stability mechanics where carbonized rubber and hard plastic were once incorporated. These changes make for a few alterations in the shoe's overall feel: 1) The 31 is significantly more wedge-like and has a more elevated feel than the 27. 2) Lateral stability feels a tad looser, but the comparatively wider footprint compensates well (in other words, it doesn't detract from the shoe's performance). 3) The 31 has a slightly faster feel in that there is more forward thrust provided by the wedged sole design. The swap to these softer and lighter materials MIGHT provide less overall durability in the long run (pun intended), but I doubt it, being as Asics has built a reputation for high quality manufacturing. Looks-wise, I like the styling, though I realize this is a matter of opinion. Honestly, it's not the most important aspect, but I will say that the all-black variant is definitely sleek! Overall, the Gel Kayano 31 is a worthy successor to the proud Kayano lineage. It's a pure running shoe vacant of bells, whistles, and gimmicks touted by other brands. Asics is nearly synonymous with running, so buy with confidence. Other notes... I find that they fit true to size...maybe a half-size lower than an equivalent Nike running shoe (i.e., if you're a 10.5 in Nikes, go with a 10 in Asics). My feet are of a normal width, so there's no concern in that regard. ... show more

  • A great training shoe
Size: 9.5 Color: Black/Black
My old friend, the gel kayano! I tried a variety of shoes the past 2 seasons, but found them lacking the support and cushioning I like for long run days. The ASICS gel kayano 31 fits great. I’m a 9 and wear a 9.5 for a little extra toe room because I run a lot of steep hills. I got these a couple of weeks ago. No break in time to speak of, though I always use moleskin on my heels for the first few weeks of any shoe. Light, comfortable ride, great stability. Mesh keeps my toes cool.. They hint at a little Hoka-envy with the profile, but are not as clown shoe as the Hokas. And I need at least some feedback from the pavement when running. I just got the solid black ones so I can wear them to the airport without looking silly on work trips, and pack my leather shoes. Great shoe, and has been for decades. ... show more

  • most comfortable shoes I ever tried with only minor improvement wishes
Size: 12 Color: Black/Black
The good: These are easily the most comfortable shoes I ever tried. Plenty of cushion from the back all the way to the front of the foot. When barefoot, my feet are relatively flat and I tend to pronate. So, these shoes are great for the stability and resistance against overpronation, is very noticeable, unlike other brands I tried in the past. The not-so-good: The tongues are relatively thin, which make them prone to folding if caution isn't taken when putting these shoes on. This is easily remedied by just taking an extra moment to drag and smooth the tongues in a better position when putting the shoes on. But, it'd just be nice if the tongues had slightly more shape retention through better padding seen in other brands. Overall, this is minor, but an unnecessary matter in the first place. The outer soles squeak, squeak, and squeeeeak. To be fair, this is only present on very smooth surfaces like tile. These shoes are, probably, mostly designed for running on tracks, streets, forest trails, grass, etc. where this wouldn't even come up. However, if you ever want to wear these while working in a hospital or office setting, prepare for squeak city. This is also an unnecessary matter since there are plenty of processes that add microscopic dimples, ridges, grooves, etc. to outer soles during the manufacturing process to avoid this in the first place like other brands do. In all fairness, neither of these points count against what the shoes are designed for, so I wouldn't count them against the score in the this review. It's just extra insight for the curious would-be buyer and hopeful insight for the company to constructively grow if they ever somehow see this review. Bottom line: These shoes are well worth the purchase and I am glad to have them. ... show more

  • Asics Men's Running Shoes
Size: 10.5 Color: Black/Rainy Lake
I was looking for a running shoe that was cushy and comfortable while being stable. I have very flat feet. These shoes were comfortable. However Brooks Men’s Adrenaline GTS 24 Supportive Running Shoe is miles better. Better cushion and stability

  • Worst Gel Kayano Ever
Size: 10 Color: Blue Expanse/Digital Aqua
I’ve consistently purchased the gel kayano line for 15 years and new designs never once failed me. This design, however, is nothing like its predecessors. The fit never breaks in leading to harmful changes in gait. Foot pain the gel kayano prevented for 15 years has now come roaring back. This design also now rubs against my outer ankle. Also, and quite frustratingly, the soles are extremely noisy. I wore them for months working as a nurse before giving up on them and the noisiness never improved one bit. ASICS has completely failed this loyal customer. ... show more
