I really love Asics. I go back and forth with Hoka and Asics b/c they are both comfortable. I just felt they were a little overpriced. I’ll wait for a sale on Amazon or at my local Asics store.

I’m not a runner, but I’ve been using ASICS Gel-Kayano shoes for long distance walking for the past several years. They have always been the best fitting athletic shoes for my narrow size 9C feet. I also have a low instep and slight pronation.
When my Gel-Kayano 28s wore out, I got both the 30 and 31 to compare them. When they feel similar, the 31s have noticeably improved cushioning. Walking in them is like walking on air! For me, they were worth the extra price over the 30 which I returned. The one advantage of the 30 is a much broader selection of colors.
For those used to Gel Kayano model 29 and older, keep in mind that Asics totally redesigned the shoe starting with model 30. 31 is similar to 30 with a few enhancements. Check the online reviews comparing 29 to 30 to make sure you understand what you will be getting. I really appreciate the extra cushioning in the recent models.
Highly recommended!

Quality shoes for Weekly Running/Jogging. Achieved 9kms on a first day. The comfort of wearing and the lightness when you move will bring you further the excitement for next run.

This is my fourth pair of gel Kayanos. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn. These are an iterative update from the gel Kayano 30, which was a major update from the gel Kayano 29. They don’t seem to be much different than the 30, but they do have a little more ventilation on the top layer. Either way they’re extremely comfortable and I highly recommend them.

These are once again one of the very best running shoes. For guys that were a 2e these are perfect for a slightly wide no arch foot. Extremely comfortable and well-made. This is the best running shoe for the money period.

Good cushion, as comfortable as the previous Gel Kayano 28 I’ve had. Satisfied.
Très bien confortable –
This shoe looks fantastic and if you do not need custom-made orthotics, you will probably find it wonderful. Unfortunately, it causes an overcorrection when I used them with my custom-made orthotics that I am supposed to wear with all my shoes. I had several pain points at my arches and at my ankles. I have worn the Gel Kayano for a great many years but it no longer works for me. Very disappointing.

Just when I thought they couldn’t get any better, they do. It’s crazy. I have Kayano Gel 29, 30, and now 31.
The two main differences I’ve noticed is harder tread make them more comfortable on harder surfaces and they are more ventilated. After running for an hour, feet are still cool.
Also like they offer wider versions of these shoes. This makes them more comfortable than any other shoes I’ve tested. I tried several different shoes at a running store, putting them to the test on a treadmill.
