The GEL-SONOMA™ 8 shoe is designed for the great outdoors. It's a durable trail model that gives trail runners an affordable, trusted trail shoe with cushioning and grip elements for off-road surfaces.
Underfoot comfort stems from a full-length AMPLIFOAM™ PLUS midsole and GEL™ technology unit that's strategically placed where cushioning is needed.
Lastly, the trail-specific outsole is functional for providing advanced traction. Its pattern helps you experience a confident stride on the uphill and downhill sections of challenging terrain.
