FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 is designed for everyday wear and light athletic pursuits. For marathon running, specialized long-distance running shoes offering more advanced cushioning and support are recommended.

Can I wear these in wet weather?

While the materials offer some breathability, they are not waterproof. They are best suited for dry conditions. Avoid wearing them in heavy rain or through puddles.

How do I determine my correct UK size?

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart, which typically correlates foot measurements to specific UK sizes. Ensure a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose.

What is the difference between the Grey/Copper and Grey/Red colorways?

The primary difference is the secondary accent color. Both models share the same core design and features, with the 'Copper' and 'Red' referring to the trim and branding colors.

How long does the cushioning typically last?

The lifespan of the cushioning depends on usage frequency and intensity. For general wear, it should remain effective for a significant period. For heavy athletic use, cushioning may diminish faster.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, materials, and cushioning. Hand-wash or spot clean as per the care instructions.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and try them on again. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate. For initial wear, breaking them in through short periods of use can help.

Reduced cushioning feel over time

The cushioning may naturally lessen with extensive use. Ensure the shoes are not exposed to excessive heat during drying, which can degrade cushioning. Consider replacement if significant wear is evident.

Slight odor after wear

Ensure feet are dry before wearing. Remove insoles and air dry shoes after use. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda inside the shoes overnight to absorb odors.
