FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather construction provides some protection against moisture, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for long-distance running?
Yes, they are designed with a GEL cushioning system to provide shock absorption suitable for various running distances.
How do I determine if 7.5 UK is the right fit?
ASICS generally follows standard sizing, but it is recommended to have about a half-inch of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe.
Is the leather real or synthetic?
The product features durable leather construction designed for long-lasting stability.
What kind of terrain are these trainers best for?
They are hybrid shoes, performing well on paved roads, gravel paths, and light hiking trails.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Depending on usage frequency and intensity, running shoes are typically replaced every 300 to 500 miles.
Troubleshooting
Leather surface getting scuffed or dirty
Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry mud and a damp cloth with specialized leather cleaner for tougher stains.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened correctly using the top eyelet for a 'runner's loop' to secure the heel.
Loss of cushioning support
Check the insole for wear; replacing the factory liner with a fresh insert can restore comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 trainers last, proper care is essential. Since these feature leather, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt and grime. For internal freshness, remove the sockliner occasionally to air out the interior. When not in use, store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources, which can cause the leather to crack over time. If the shoes become soaked, allow them to air dry naturally rather than using a dryer.
