FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The ASICS Gel-Sonoma 8 features breathable materials which are not inherently waterproof. It is recommended to avoid deep puddles.
Can I use these for running?
They are designed as versatile trainers suitable for light trail running and daily activity, though they are not specialized performance racing shoes.
How do I choose the right size?
ASICS generally fits true to size. If you plan to wear thick hiking socks, some users prefer to size up by a half size.
How should I clean the exterior?
Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
Are these suitable for gym use?
Yes, their stable base makes them appropriate for general gym workouts and training sessions.
Does the gel cushioning wear out?
Like all foam and gel-based footwear, the cushioning will naturally compress over time with extensive mileage.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight during use
Try adjusting the lacing technique to a 'runner's loop' to allow for more volume in the midfoot area.
Shoes getting dirty quickly
Apply a water and stain repellent spray suitable for synthetic trainer fabrics before first use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Gel-Sonoma 8 trainers, it is recommended to keep them dry and clean. If they get muddy during a walk, remove excess dirt with a soft brush once dry. Avoid placing them in a washing machine, as the heat and agitation can compromise the adhesive and cushioning integrity. For the best fit, ensure you select your standard ASICS size, as the series maintains a consistent internal volume. If wearing them for hiking, pair with moisture-wicking synthetic or wool socks to prevent friction and enhance comfort.
