FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance hiking?
Yes, the rugged outsole and stability features make them suitable for light to moderate hiking, though they are classified as trainers.
Can I put these shoes in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the structural integrity and leather elements. Clean them by hand using a damp cloth.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper incorporates leather for durability alongside breathable mesh sections for airflow.
Are these trainers waterproof?
While the leather construction is durable, they are designed for breathability rather than complete waterproofing.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, the design includes stability features aimed at supporting natural foot movement and maintaining balance.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels slightly tight during the first few wears
The leather components typically soften with movement. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to contour to your foot shape.
Mud accumulation in the outsole treads
Use a stiff-bristled brush to clear debris from the tread grooves to maintain maximum grip performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 trainers, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the leather upper, use a soft, dry brush to remove loose dirt after outdoor use. If the shoes become damp, air-dry them away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the leather from cracking. To maintain breathability, avoid machine washing; instead, wipe the interior and exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Ensure your size is correctly matched to your foot profile, as these trainers are manufactured in specific UK sizes to provide a secure fit.
