FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?

The ASICS Gel-Kahana 8 trainers are designed for everyday wear and light training. They provide good cushioning but are not engineered for the specific demands of marathon running, which typically requires specialized performance running shoes.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel snug but not tight.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

No, it is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to maintain the integrity and appearance of the materials.

What is the primary benefit of the GEL technology?

The ASICS GEL technology is strategically placed to absorb shock during impact, providing excellent cushioning and a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off, thus enhancing comfort.

What type of socks are best to wear with these trainers?

For maximum comfort and to prevent rubbing, it is recommended to wear athletic or moisture-wicking socks made from materials like polyester blends or merino wool.

How often should I replace my trainers?

For optimal support and cushioning, trainers are typically recommended to be replaced every 300-500 miles of use or every 6-12 months, depending on the frequency and intensity of wear.

Troubleshooting

Discomfort or rubbing

Ensure you have the correct size and width. Wear with appropriate socks. If the issue persists, try walking in them for short periods to allow for a break-in period.

Slipping on smooth surfaces

Check the outsole for excessive wear. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or debris that might be affecting grip. For persistent issues, consider a specialized tread cleaner.

Material discoloration

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions. Avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight, which can cause fading.
