Best shoes but need better colours .. should try to make them more visually appealing

Desperately needing new shoes I can wear on my extremely painful feet, these Asics Gel-Kayano 31s seemed like a shoe that could possibly meet my needs. Boy, was I wrong! I had already experienced the supreme comfort of the Gel-Nimbus 25, but they weren’t quite stable enough to keep me from wobbling around in them. The Kayano 31 definitely doesn’t have that problem, as they are one of the most stable shoes I’ve ever worn. Unfortunately, they are stiff, hard shoes that have firm cushioning instead of the super-soft stuff that I need. They do run true to size lengthwise so I bought the same size as my Nimbus. They also have a spacious forefoot area so I can easily move my toes, but they are hard to get on even with the new heel loops. Once on, they constrict the back half of my feet like a vice, which some runners might prefer, as the tight heel lock ensures your feet won’t be slipping around inside the shoe. I even have thin ankles, so if you have thicker ankles these may not work for you unless you try a wide width. The Kayano 31 does have a few pros, like the new upper mesh material that provides good ventilation and some nice stretch. Very good rubber on the sole should give good traction, and the overall build quality is high. I expect the durability to be great. But the lack of plush forefoot cushioning and the very tight fit quickly have my feet screaming in pain. Maybe I just got a bad pair. Maybe they just need breaking in. Possibly go up half a size?? In any case, these are just not comfortable shoes for me, and I won’t be able to wear them at all. Three stars just because they have potential for others without my pain issues.

Fits true to size. The shoes had a much needed update. The bottoms have more traction and the upper is very breathable.

The shoes are my workday shoes and they are comfortable. That is why I continue to buy ASCIS shoes from Zappos.

Fit is great

These feel and perform great. Very happy with the purchase and this version. The elastic loops at the heel are a welcome improvement to previous versions. They make putting on the shoes much easier.

Holds foot secure especially in the heel

This was the first time that I purchased ASCIS sneakers. And I tried them because I need an extra wide (4E) width. I have been using HOKAs but they haven’t had much stock recently. This was a great experience and the fit was perfect. They will be my new go-to sneakers!

The cushioning and comfort is terrific! Fit is great, and they readily handle 25-40 miles per week, even though I’m 200+ pounds.

I bought a pair of these a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love them. Perfect amount of arch support. Perfect flex. Great motion control. Completely reversed my foot and leg pain. It feels so good to not hurt.

Great sneakers. This is my third pair with this brand!

First – I am 74 years old and used to be an avid runner.
These shoes are awesome! I’d about given up finding shoes that fit my very wide foot. The ASICS 4E is wider than New Balance 6E.
Great features of these ASICS Gel-Kayano 31:
Very wide and tall in toe box.
Heel is plenty wide enough and additionally is cupped so my foot does not slide around.
Where the laces go into the she – the ‘eye’ is flat and keeps the laces in place.
Cushion all around the inside of the shoe. If I were still a runner, this feature would have sold me in these shoes. As is, I just really like the feel.
The sole gives me a very stable landing.
Sole is very cushioned when walking.
Only negative:
Laces are not long enough to open the shoes for my tall instep. Minor issue.
All in all, I just love these shoes!! I tried 5 other shoes (various brands) and was about to give up. So glad I found these.
Highly recommend

I like Asics because they have good arch support and excellent cushion, and I literally couldn’t survive without them at work. My last pair were Gel-Nimbus though, and the difference in cushion between them is like day and night. These Gel-Kayanos felt very hard, with a solid and pronounced arch. Even after trying my insoles in them, standing in them became painful after a minute. I would not be able to wear these to work. Had to return.

Love these shoes! Perfect fit out of the box. I have difficulty finding a shoe with the right width in the toe box. These are perfect. Just right. The cushioning, support, and stability are second to none. I used to run in ASICS (marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5M) and the brand was my go-to for years. I got away from ASICS and wore Hoka until their quality declined and then On Cloud until their quality declined. Seems those brands lost site of their reason for success and maybe chased sales and income instead.
The only thing I will say about the Kayano 31 is the tread looks a bit anemic. Time will tell how they wear. I hope well.

I have only worn these twice so far and they fir very well. They seem to be comfortable. I am looking for a replacement for Ghosts, which I have worn for years, but am getting less miles out of them than I used too. These are just as comfortable for the short wear, but I will update after a long stretch and see how they compare.

I’ve added new insoles for arch support

These are perfect.

Worth every penny. Wear a 13 4E and fit perfectly. More support than anything else I tried. Will definitely buy more of these. A bit pricey, but feet are happy.

I believe this is my 12th pair of Kayano’s. I wear out a pair each year running 4 miles a day. I have loved the consistency from year to year on the fit. I can buy a new pair, and immediately run my normal daily route, without discomfort of any kind. This newest model feels like there is a little more cushion in the sole than last years model (Kayano 30).
The reason I say there is no arch support, is that I have to take out the flat liner, and use arch supports for my high arches. There are no off the shelf shoes with enough arch support for me.
