ASICS Sonoma 8 Hiking Shoes - Black/Yellow - 12

The Sonoma 8 is designed for breathability and performance on dry-to-mixed trails; it is not explicitly labeled as waterproof.

While durable, the lugged outsole is optimized for trails and may wear down faster if used primarily on abrasive road surfaces.

It is recommended to measure your foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and compare it to the ASICS sizing chart.

Generally, hiking shoes should be inspected for structural wear or outsole degradation every 300 to 500 miles of use.

It is highly recommended to hand wash your shoes with mild soap and water, as machine washing can compromise the adhesives and materials.

Adjust the lacing tension, specifically at the midfoot, and ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking hiking socks.

Consider using gaiters designed for hiking shoes if you frequently encounter loose rocks or sand.

Thoroughly clean the outsole lugs of any compacted mud or small stones that may be preventing the rubber from making full contact with the ground.
