Asics Kayano 30 vs. 31 | Which Should I Choose? 

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.

Excellent, thorough comparison, as always!

Thanks, Matt. I think I’ll be saving up for the K31 as the thinner material is more suitable to the tropical climate here in the Philippines 🇵🇭 cheers for the quick update!

Literally forgot to mention the new and great Socks Liner which is an amazing update itself on these shoes .

Cant wait to see kayano 31 vs 860 v14

Can you do a comparison of the Gel Kayano 31 and the new Saucony Guide?

Hey Matt! How’s the internal forefoot volume & width vs v30? V30 was a little snug wondering if I should go wide in the 31’s

These are advertised as softer cushioning than the 30s. What do you think? I tried the 30s and found they were a little too firm under the heel for me

Patiently waiting for the 860v13 vs. 860v14 should I upgrade video 🙏

sold the K30, just didnt work for me felt harsh vs GT2000 or my go to option NB 860. SuperBlast or HyperionMax half the time running.

Matt please not HDR (my opinion). Thanks for the review

Sounds like subtle, but good updates! Which one has more of a forefoot rocker?

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.

HELP!!! .... Which of these two (30 vs. 31) is better for an overpronator with plantar Fascitis????

Hi! I'm new in running. 160cm but 90kg with 3E feet. Do you think Kayano 31 will be good to me or should I go with Nimbus/Culumbus?

Do you guys think u could do a video talking about the optimal foot strike for people with flat & high arches.? personally have flat arches and have been wondering whether or not mid-foot striking would be good or not?

Oh wow the 31 is out. Helloooo discounted K30s!!

Isn’t it Kah-yano?

For the algorithm
