FAQs

Are these shoes waterproof?

The shoes feature a breathable technical mesh upper which is designed for airflow rather than water resistance; they are not classified as waterproof.

Can I use these for road running?

While they are optimized for trails, the cushioning makes them comfortable on mixed surfaces, though the lugged outsole will wear down faster on concrete.

What does neutral/supination mean for this shoe?

This means the shoe is designed for runners whose feet do not roll inward excessively (overpronation) when they strike the ground.

How do I clean the beige mesh material?

Use a soft brush to remove dry debris and a damp cloth with mild detergent for spots; avoid harsh chemicals.

Is the insole removable?

Yes, the insole can be removed to accommodate custom orthotics if required.

Troubleshooting

Feeling instability on uneven ground

Ensure the laces are snug and that your foot is seated properly in the heel cup; check that the outsole lugs are clear of packed mud.

Foot overheating during long runs

Ensure you are using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks rather than cotton, which retains heat and moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Gel Sonoma 8 trainers, it is important to match the shoe to your biomechanical needs. These are built for neutral runners or those with supination; if you are unsure of your gait, consider a professional analysis. To care for your trainers, remove excess dirt after each run with a soft brush. If they get muddy, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can compromise the adhesive and the structural integrity of the foam cushioning. Always air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
