FAQs
Is the ASICS Gel Sonoma 8 waterproof?
The upper is constructed from breathable technical mesh, which is not waterproof. It is designed to drain quickly if it gets wet.
Can I use these for road running?
While these are designed for trails, the cushioning is comfortable enough for short road sections, though the outsole lugs will wear down faster on asphalt.
What type of foot strike is this shoe best for?
The Gel Sonoma 8 is primarily designed for neutral or supination (underpronation) foot strikes.
How do I determine the right size?
ASICS trail shoes typically follow standard sizing. Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if necessary.
Troubleshooting
Feeling pebbles or debris inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tensioned properly across the midfoot and consider using gaiters if running on loose, sandy, or very rocky trails.
Outsole losing traction in mud
Clear out any packed mud from between the lugs using a stiff brush or a blunt tool, as excessive accumulation can affect grip.
Pros and Cons

- Excellent cushioning for joint impact reduction

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure longevity, always loosen the laces fully before sliding your foot into the shoe to avoid stressing the heel collar. Because these are trail-specific shoes, clean them by tapping off loose dirt after every run and use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and cold water for stubborn mud. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the foam integrity and glue bonds. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
