Asics Gel-Sonoma 8 review: what runners say
Fit
Fit runs narrow, especially across the instep. Sizing up from the usual size is recommended.
Feel
Medium cushioning via AmpliFoam technology; the thick rubber outsole delivers a firm, stable ride — not a soft one.
Durability
The generous rubber coverage on the outsole is cited as a longevity factor; expected mileage is not quantified by sources.
Best for
Trail running and hiking on uneven terrain, wet or muddy surfaces. The Gore-Tex version suits adverse weather conditions. Not recommended for pavement.
Weak points
Price considered high relative to its market positioning. Breathability is average — acceptable for trail use but not ideal in hot conditions.
