With its holistic design and cutting-edge technology, this shoe provides the perfect balance of stability, cushioning, and support for walking and running on hard surfaces. Engineered for those who demand excellence in every stride, the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 redefines what it means to move with confidence and ease.

Designed for Every Step You Take

The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 is more than just a shoe—it’s a complete system designed to enhance your walking and running experience. Built with the latest innovations from ASICS, it provides moderate support and high cushioning for unparalleled comfort. Whether you’re a dedicated walker, a fitness enthusiast, or someone looking to upgrade your footwear, this shoe offers everything you need for smooth, stable, and enjoyable movement.

Comfort That Moves with You

Every element of the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 is crafted for comfort. The engineered mesh upper wraps your foot in a breathable, snug fit, ensuring lasting freshness even during long walks or runs. A knit heel pull tab makes slipping the shoes on and off effortless, adding to their convenience.

Inside, the OrthoLite™ X-55 sockliner enhances step-in comfort while improving moisture management, so your feet feel supported and dry throughout the day. The thoughtful design ensures your feet are cradled in a soft, stable environment with every step.

Cutting-Edge Cushioning Technology

The GEL-KAYANO™ 31 features two revolutionary cushioning technologies that transform your walking and running experience:

• PureGEL™ Technology: Placed in the rearfoot, this lightweight gel absorbs shock upon impact, reducing stress on your joints. The result? Softer landings that keep you comfortable, whether you’re tackling long routes or quick errands.
• FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Foam: This eco-friendly midsole foam delivers a plush yet energizing feel underfoot. Its softer landings and responsive bounce help you conserve energy, making it ideal for harder surfaces like roads and sidewalks.

Combined, these technologies work in harmony to cushion each step and provide long-lasting comfort during daily walks or intense training sessions.

Stability You Can Count On

At the heart of the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 is the innovative 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™, developed at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science in Japan. This system incorporates four distinct elements to support and stabilize your stride:

• Midsole Geometry: Engineered to guide your foot naturally through each step.
• Medial Convex Design: Helps align the foot for a more stable landing.
• Lateral Guidance Line: Provides structure to keep your stride balanced.
• Adaptive Midfoot Foam: The FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO cushioning supports the midfoot, especially helpful for those experiencing foot fatigue.

The result is a shoe that adapts to your unique gait, offering holistic stability whether you’re walking for fitness or running to improve your endurance.

Durable Grip for Any Surface

The outsole of the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 is equipped with hybrid ASICSGRIP™ technology, ensuring reliable traction on a variety of surfaces. From wet roads to uneven pavements, this durable outsole keeps you steady and confident as you move. Reflective details enhance visibility in low-light conditions, making it a great choice for early morning or evening workouts.
