Glad the Kayano 31 came out so early... so I can buy the Kayano 30 on sale. And not regretting my decision after hearing the K31 has a more prominent arch which my flat feet hate -- the K30 was one of the very few stability shoes that was well integrated enough to not irritate them.

@@GM-OIL I don't own the other two, but I suspect K30 will be the best as the other two both look like they have pretty aggressive medial sidewall implementations, particularly the Nike. Though whether you prefer high vs low stack height could also be a big factor in Adrenaline GTS vs Kayano

I really like the extra push in the mid foot of 31, I have flat feet now but used to have high arches so it feels so nice to get that extra kick. The most comfortable shoe I ever ran in, I hope it stays strong.

@andyn6053 2 ай бұрын

I have tried both 30 and 31 and they are very similar. The upper is thinner on the 31 and the reinforcements in the forefoot are a bit less intrusive. But I get some weird pressure below my forefoot in the 31´s and my right pinky toe aswell against the sidewall. The 31´s run a little smaller in size, with less room in front of the toes. I got the Kayano 30 wide version and it´s a bit too roomy in the upper of the toebox, making my toes wiggle upp and down while running, which aint optimal at all. In the 31´s, my feet feel a bit cramped. Haven´t tried the 31´s in wide though.

@autumnwindfall 5 ай бұрын

I bought a Kayano 30 thanks to the sale brought about the 31. The 30 is still a new arrival in my country, so I went and got it from abroad. The 30's upper has a stiff sidewall / toecap in the forefoot mesh. Seems my left toes splay ever so slightly more than my right foot does, enabled by the wider fit in the forefoot area, but now it causes my pinky toe to rub against the stiff mesh. Formed a nasty blister after just the first 5K of running. Wondering if I can expect this to get better as the shoe breaks in or if I should expect to need blister protection throughout the shoe's lifetime.

Hi.. what's the difference between the men's and women's version of the kayano 31? I prefer the women's colorways that are available where I'm located, but not sure if there's a downside if I wear the women's version.. thanks..

@kriskanchev3965 Ай бұрын

Women’s version are narrower. You have to get wide to be the same as mens. However i see the the stack height is 1mm lower but this could be just for the smaller size women’s shoe and the corresponding to the men’s 9 to be the same stack height

@veo16 Ай бұрын

Looks like Kayano 30 v 31, is in the same boat as the Adidas training shoes the Dropset 2 v 3. Newer versions are meh. Older ones are excellent. And now you can get last season's model for maybe $30-$50 off.

Coming from the Saucony Hurricane 23, which was the most comfortable shoe I've ever owned (although the front of the sole started to dissipate and come off after a while, and sometimes my little toe hurts), should I go for a Kayano (if so, which one?), the Saucony Tempus or try out some Altra Provisions for stability and free foot movements (or advertised as such). Any opinions appreciated! Great vid!

@DoctorsofRunning 4 ай бұрын

If stability is usually a concern for you, the Kayano 31 or 30 if you are on a budget is good. The cumulus is less stable but okay if you tend to run in other neutral trainers. If you are totally unsure the kayano - either model - is an okay place to start and as you can try other neutral shoes and see how you feel.
