Product Information
Full details
The ASICS GEL-Sonoma 8 is designed for neutral or supination trail runners seeking a reliable, cushioned trainer that excels on varied off-road surfaces. By integrating advanced GEL technology and an AHAR+ multidirectional lug outsole, these shoes offer exceptional comfort and traction for outdoor enthusiasts. While they provide excellent protection and flexibility, users should note that they are specifically engineered for trail and hiking performance, which may feel different from pure road-running footwear.

FAQs
Are the GEL-Sonoma 8 shoes waterproof?
These shoes feature a technical mesh upper designed for breathability. They are not marketed as waterproof or GORE-TEX, so they may allow water to penetrate during heavy rain or stream crossings.
Are these suitable for road running?
While they can be worn on roads, the outsole lugs are optimized for trail surfaces. Using them extensively on pavement will cause the rubber lugs to wear down faster than intended.
What type of runner are these for?
These are ideal for neutral runners or those with supination who prioritize cushioning and traction on trails.
How should I clean my shoes?
Remove loose dirt with a brush, then wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight or heaters.
Can I use orthotics with these?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert your own custom orthotics if needed for better arch support.
Troubleshooting
Reduced grip on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for mud buildup trapped in the lugs and use a stiff brush to clear them.
Discomfort during long runs
Check if the laces are overtightened; adjust them to allow for normal foot expansion during exercise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-Sonoma 8 trainers, it is important to allow them to air dry naturally after wet trail conditions. Avoid placing them directly near heat sources, as this can degrade the foam and adhesive materials. If the shoes become heavily caked in mud, gently brush off dried debris and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth; avoid machine washing or soaking them in water. Ensure your lacing is snug but comfortable to utilize the support provided by the structured upper overlays. For sizing, the shoes are true to fit; ensure adequate space in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during long runs.
