Troubleshooting

Slight discomfort during initial wear

New shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Reduced grip on wet surfaces

The outsole is designed for general trail conditions. Be cautious on excessively wet or slippery surfaces, as grip may be compromised compared to specialized wet-weather footwear.

Material showing wear after heavy use

For extended durability, follow the recommended care instructions. Avoid using the shoes for activities they are not designed for (e.g., extreme trail running, heavy-duty sports).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: These trainers are designed for casual trail running. While they offer good support for walking and light jogging on varied surfaces, they are not optimized for highly technical trails or intense road running.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
  4. Laces: Remove laces for thorough cleaning if necessary. Ensure they are completely dry before re-lacing.
