FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, the Gel-Kahana 8 features advanced cushioning and stability features suitable for regular running sessions.
Can I use these for hiking?
Absolutely. The rugged outsole is specifically designed to provide traction on uneven trails.
How do I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft brush to remove surface dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap; do not submerge in water or use a washing machine.
Is the size UK 11.5 standard?
Yes, these follow standard UK adult sizing, though it is always recommended to compare against your existing ASICS footwear for consistency.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed with breathable mesh, complemented by durable synthetic and leather-like reinforcements for added stability.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight after a few hours of wear
Feet naturally swell during the day; ensure you are lacing the shoes firmly but not excessively tight to accommodate circulation.
Reduced traction on wet surfaces
Check the outsole for trapped mud or debris; clear the tread grooves with a stiff-bristled brush to restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers come pre-assembled, no technical setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, verify your UK size (e.g., 11.5) against your foot measurements at the end of the day when feet are at their largest. For care, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and cushioning structure. Instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Remove the insoles after a muddy hike to allow them to air dry naturally in a shaded area, keeping them away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
