If you loved the GEL-KAYANO™ 31, you're going to really love the 32. ASICS has taken one of their most iconic stability shoes and made it even better – think softer landings, extra support, and dialled-in comfort from heel to toe.

What's the difference between the GEL-KAYANO™ 31 and GEL-KAYANO™ 32?
The new GEL-KAYANO™ 32 has added FF BLAST™ PLUS foam at the forefoot compared to GEL-KAYANO™ 31 for increased comfort.

Additionally, the updated version provides added midfoot stability through a reinforced tongue wing.
Key changes:
- Increased forefoot comfort with an extra 2mm of FF BLAST™ PLUS foam, adjusting the heel-to-toe drop to 8mm
- Enhanced upper comfort thanks to a newly developed engineered mesh for better fit, breathability, and softness
- Improved midfoot stability with a reinforced tongue wing, helping to lock down the foot during movement
