FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?

These shoes are specifically designed for trail running and outdoor adventures, providing excellent grip and cushioning on varied natural surfaces like dirt, gravel, and rocky paths.

How do I clean the Gel-Kahana 8 trainers?

Clean gently with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing and air dry at room temperature away from direct heat.

What is the main benefit of the GEL technology in these shoes?

The GEL technology provides advanced shock absorption, which helps to reduce impact on your joints during running and walking, leading to increased comfort.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

This specific product description focuses on the Grey colorway. Availability of other colors may vary depending on the retailer and current stock.

What is the closure type for these trainers?

The closure type is lacing, which allows for an adjustable and secure fit.

Are these shoes waterproof?

These trainers are designed with breathability in mind and are not waterproof. They are suitable for dry to moderately wet conditions but are not intended for heavy rain or submersion.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or narrow.

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on and then tightened to a comfortable level. If the width remains an issue, consider exploring wider fit options if available or alternative models.

Reduced grip on slippery surfaces.

Check the outsole for any debris or mud that may be obstructing the tread. Clean the outsole with water and allow it to dry completely. For extremely slick conditions, always exercise caution.

Feet feel damp after activity.

Ensure socks are suitable for athletic activity (e.g., moisture-wicking). Allow shoes to fully air dry between uses to prevent moisture buildup.

Premature wear on the outsole.

Inspect the terrain where the shoes are primarily used. Excessive use on abrasive surfaces like concrete or asphalt can accelerate wear. For trail use, the durability should be adequate.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Gel-Kahana 8 trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For tougher stains, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures.
