Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS GEL-Sonoma 8 GTX trainers, follow these care guidelines:
- Break-in Period: Wear the shoes for shorter walks before attempting long-distance trail runs to allow the foam to adapt to your foot.
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud after runs using a soft-bristled brush. Avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, wipe the upper with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Never place GORE-TEX shoes near high-heat sources like radiators, as this can degrade the waterproof membrane. Air dry them in a well-ventilated area.
- Compatibility: These shoes are designed for neutral or supination runners. If you require specific stability features for overpronation, consult with a podiatrist before use.
