Description

Asics' most cushioned and supportive road running shoe for women – the Kayano – is now 31 years old. To celebrate its anniversary, the Kayano 31 gets some unique improvements. Asics designers have developed a Knit Collar construction for a better fit and premium feel. The ultimate cushioned midsole provides luxurious softness underfoot. 4D Guidance SystemTM under the arch stabilises the feet and helps to prevent over-pronation.

Details

Ideal Use:

Road running and training, walking.

Upper:

The lightweight, breathable mesh upper allows for better airflow and ventilation, keeping feet cool and comfortable during exercise. The updated heel counter, along with the Knitt collar construction, provides a secure and comfortable fit for your feet.

Midsole:

The eco-friendly design of the FF Blast™ Plus Eco midsole not only provides a comfortable and cushioned ride, but also reduces environmental impact with its bio-based materials. The lightweight foam allows for a more responsive and energizing feel, making it perfect for both training and everyday wear. With cloud-like softness, every step feels like walking on air.

The designe of 4D Guidance System™ utilises real-time data and feedback from runners to ensure optimal support and stability. This system can effectively help to reduce over-pronation and keep your body in alignment. The 4D Guidance System™ enhances the body's natural stability mechanisms in 4 ways:

  • Wider platform offers added stability
  • Full-length lateral midsole groove
  • The foot sits deeply cradled in the shoe
  • Soft and bouncy medial piece assures that the foot spends less time in the over-pronation phase
Outersole:

The ASICSGRIP™ is a special outsole material that provides excellent traction on various road surfaces. Meanwhile AHARPLUS™ is a durable rubber compound that enhances the durability of the shoe's outsole. With these two materials strategically placed in key areas on the outsole – such as under the forefoot and heel – runners can enjoy improved grip and softness without sacrificing abrasion resistance.

Specs:  
  • Cushioning:  Responsive | Superior | Premium
  • Support: Neutral | Support | Maximum Support
  • Fit: True to size, take your normal size, a little broader than version 29 (but same as version 30), still offers a snug fit
Key Features:
  • Adaptive on-demand 4D Guidance System™ helps to control over-pronation whilst reducing time the foot spends in the pronation phase
  • FF Blast™ Plus Eco lightweight and energetic midsole foams with cloud-like softness and 24% bio content
  • New Knit Collar construction for luxurious, locked-in feel
  • Engineered mesh upper is lightweight and breathable
  • Rearfoot Puregel™ is lighter and approximately 65% softer than conventional visible GEL™ technology
  • Advanced pull-tab for easy on and off access
  • ASICSGRIP™ in combination with AHARPLUS™ in the right places offers great traction and softness without compromising abrasion resistance
Tech Details:
  • Weight: 266g
  • Offset: 10mm (heel: 39mm, forefoot: 29mm)
Sustainability: 
  • Upper is made 50% from recycled polyester
  • Dope dyed sockliner uses less water than standard dying techniques
  • 24% of BIO content in the midsole for increased sustainability
  • Carbon footprint +10.6Kg CO2e

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR RUNNING SHOES
Your running shoe size will generally be 1 to 1.5 sizes bigger than your regular (‘dress’) shoe size. Bear in mind also that one foot can be slightly bigger than the other.

LENGTH
First, kick your foot back into the heel of each shoe before checking how much space is left at the front. When standing in each shoe with your full weight on the foot, it’s best to have between half and a full thumb's width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.

WIDTH
When standing in the shoe, it’s best to have a little wiggle room for the toes, but the back of heel should still feel nicely secure.

SPIKES
Sprint spikes are best when a close fit. Distance spikes best when up to a half a thumb's width between the end of the longest toe and the end of the shoe.
