Asics Gel-Sonoma 8 review: what runners say
Fit
Narrow fit, especially across the instep. Sizing up from your usual size is recommended.
Feel
Medium cushioning with AmpliFoam technology and a generous rubber layer. Stiffness is typical of a trail shoe, with solid stability underfoot.
Durability
Thick rubber outsole and lug-pattern tread designed for uneven terrain. Sources indicate good durability, with no explicit mileage figures.
Best for
Trail running and hiking on rough terrain, mud, and uneven surfaces. The Gore-Tex version holds up well in adverse weather conditions. Not suited for pavement.
Weak points
Price considered high for the category. Breathability is average — not a good fit for those looking for a well-ventilated trail shoe.
