  • Perfect Fit, Incredible Comfort, and Worth Every Penny!
Size: 10 Wide Color: Steel Grey/Piedmont Grey
I’ve worn many running shoes over the years, but the ASICS Gel-Kayano 31 2E stands out as the best yet. The wider 2E fit is a game-changer—finally, a shoe that gives enough room without feeling sloppy. The cushioning is phenomenal; it absorbs impact effortlessly while still providing excellent stability for longer runs. The design in Steel Grey/Piedmont Grey looks sharp and modern, versatile enough for both running and casual wear. Breathability is excellent, and after several miles, my feet still feel fresh with no hotspots or discomfort. This shoe balances support, comfort, and style—this is it. I’d recommend the Gel-Kayano 31 to any serious runner or anyone who spends long hours on their feet. The arch support is great especially if you use custom orthotics. Absolutely worth the investment! ... show more

  • Best Running Shoe I’ve Ever Owned
Size: 12 Color: Steel Grey/Piedmont Grey
As a 71 year old runner, having run 5 marathons, one under 3 hours, I’ve purchased alot of different shoes. That said, these shoes are undoubtedly the best that I’ve ever purchased. They are light, extremely comfortable, and have great support. In my first run, I immediately found that the built up heel and very firm midsole support facilitated weight transfer to the ball of my foot and guiding my step forward… something I had not experienced before with any other shoe. Daily, I run a 10k up and down a small mountain nearby with a 450’ climb and descent. The cushion this shoe provides to the ball of my foot and toes, particularly during descent, is really excellent. It enables me to descend quietly, quicker, and without fear of injury. Clearly, this shoe surpasses any shoes I’ve ever owned before! ... show more

  • Great shoe with great fit and just the right amount of cushioning
Great fitness shoe, not just for running. Fit is true to size, with a slightly wider toe box than Hoka and Adidas. Definitely more comfortable for me since I have a slightly wider foot. The amount of cushioning is also just right. I tried the New Balance 1080s and Hoka Cliftons and they had too much cushioning which made them less stable for runs and workouts. The Kayano is a stability running shoe so it makes sense. I purchased last year's model (Kayano 31) and saved $40 over this year's model. ... show more

  • Great sneakers especially for over pronation
Size: 7 Color: Steel Grey/Piedmont Grey
These asics are so comfortable. Have a great heel drop which helps with over pronation. Ie flatter arches. I have purchased 5 pairs in different colors. Gel kayano 30 and 31. Of all asics ‘this model is the best for the conditions stated above. if Buying kayano 32s compare the heel drop to the 30 + 31 as there may be changes coming with less of a heel drop. ... show more

  • Comfy and supportive daily trainer
Size: 10.5 X-Wide Color: Cool Matcha/Celadon
Overall, I think this shoe is a great blend of stability and comfort. I got this shoe to use in rotation with my Brooks Adrenaline GTS 24 and I’ve come to much prefer the Kayano 31. Based on my foot anatomy, I don’t NEED to use a stability shoe but I do like how the Kayano 31 keeps my foot feeling stable and secure while walking or running. One of my favorite supportive components is the somewhat tall and structured heel/ankle area. I also appreciate the 4D Guidance system as it helps me feel generally more confident in my foot strike. The padded tongue also stood out to me as a nice feature. I have a higher instep and regularly get pressure points at the top of my foot from my laces and this little bit of extra padded helps alleviate that discomfort. The only issue I have with the Kayano 31 is around the toe box. I’m not sure if it’s the toe box construction or the style of upper but I regularly end up with a hot spot on my little toe when I do longer runs. I wear and extra wide and still experience this. It’s almost like the toe box begins to taper just a little too soon. There’s also a distinct feel in the forefoot where the midsole foam stops. It leaves my forefoot feeling rather flat compared to in the foam extended just slightly into the forefoot area. Overall, I think this is a really comfortable, supportive, and great looking shoe. Outside of the issue with the toe box, this is a shoe I would be happy purchasing again. ... show more

  • Best running shoes I’ve ever bought
Size: 10 Color: Cool Matcha/Celadon
Best running shoe I’ve ever bought. The stupid amount of cushion, not only helps my flat feet, but helps quite a bit with my knees. They have lasted a year, which is pretty nuts when you take into account that it’s a running shoe, so short term use. Great traction and functionality, and fit. The arch support on this is pretty good. After a year of hard use, running an hour every day these things lasted like a champ, did not expect that. R inning shoes aren’t exactly known for durability. Wil buy these again and again. ... show more

  • Good motion control shoe
Size: 9 X-Wide Color: Black/White
So far it has been a great motion control shoe I am using for golf, hiking and tennis. So far it is holding up comfortable and supportive. Good shoe.

  • Disappointed.
Size: 13 Color: Carbon/Taupe Grey
As an ASICS Gel Kayano 29 and 30 wearer, I was happy to try the newer 31s. The 29s and 30s were the most comfortable shoes I had worn, and they did wonders for my overpronation. They were supportive and were well made, and I liked the style. I was initially happy with the 31s as well, they were initially comfortable, and I was working on a daily step goal I had for the year. Unfortunately I began to have soreness in my Achilles on both feet. Once I switched back to the older 30s that I still had, the soreness went away. Sadly something about the new design just aggravates my Achilles and now I am scared to try the 32s as well. I have yet to find a new shoe that I am happy with. Rating it as 3 stars because they are nice shoes, but want to warn you that something in the design changed enough that it may cause you issues like it did for me. ... show more
