The Sonoma 5 GTX's waterproofness makes it perfect for winter

When it comes to the shoe's impermeability, the reaction has been rather mixed. There are some who claim that water seeps through a specific spot in the shoe, making their Sneaker cold and wet. However, most of the comments were leaning towards the SBTG x Kicks Lab x ASICS GEL-Lyte V being a great waterproof running shoe. Here are some of their remarks: 

  • "Asics Gel-Contend 4 Marathon Running Shoes Sneakers T8D4Q-116"
  • "[I] was able to step into small puddles without getting any water in the shoe." 
  • "Gore-Tex keeps me dry"

And for winter runs? It's been A-OK! "Gore-Tex works! Sneaker are warm at 13-degree Fahrenheit," this is one of the comments from a tester who's already made up a lot of miles in his pair during winter. A runner who lives in Virginia, where wet, cold, and damp winters are, happily shares that this shoe is great in such an environment because it keeps the foot insulated. 

Overall, the general verdict on the shoe's waterproofing suggests that as long as you don't run through deep puddles or through streams, you don't have to worry about wet Sneaker.

If there's one thing about the ASICS Sonoma 5 GTX that runners are crazy about, it's the stability it offers (and hey, it's a Footwear ASICS Gt-1000 11 Gs 1014A237 Cherry Tomato Black 800!) To put it in perspective, a trail runner leaves this comment: "It's nice to have a stable runner with great lateral stability." He says he uses his pair to jog with his dog.

Another expresses, "It's easy to Pink and run with fantastic support." Another adds, "These are great!!!" as he uses them for his 10-mile Pinks daily, claiming it keeps his Sneaker and legs steady and supported. 

Comfort: Runners just can't agree on this

One of the testers dubs the Sonoma 5 GTX a solid shoe that "makes you want to move" as soon as you put them on. According to him, there's "virtually no break-in period" in this trail runner as it's immediately comfortable. And a couple more runners agree to this.

However, a huge part of the comments also reports that the shoe is stiff AF; it's downright uncomfortable. "Took about 50-60 miles before they started to feel ok to run in," is one of these comments.

Reviews on the shoe's traction go from "good grip" to "awesome traction." On snow, rain, mud, and loose stones, it generates a tacky grip that keeps runners anchored. Even better, the outsole also absorbs impact, excitedly shares one critic.

Runs small 

Almost everyone in the review section agrees that the SBTG x Kicks Lab x ASICS GEL-Lyte V is not true to size. "It was smaller than usual," "Sizing is on a different surmount," and "Sizing was way off," are some of the statements from frustrated ASICS fans. According to them, it's tight; some of them couldn't even use the shoe!

It's also not easy to put on as it's very tight around the ankles. However, it's not all bad. Those who have gone half a size up found the fit perfect. Those with narrower Sneaker, on the one hand, also find the fit very supportive.

The shoe's toe box is kind of pointy and has a tapered shape, which makes it tight for those with bigger Sneaker. One of them states, zapatillas de running ASICS constitución media apoyo talón media maratón talla 43.5. Another wide-footed trail running expert observes that when his toes slide forward during downhills, they get "painfully squeezed" in the Sonoma GTX.

You can't be stealthy in the ASICS Sonoma 5 GTX

"Crinkly" is how disappointed buyers describe the annoying sound this trail shoe makes. They explain that it sounds like there's tissue paper inside the shoe. "Clicking noise" is also what another reviewer hears from the shoe. In this Sonoma GTX iteration, there's "no sneaking up on anyone," because it's so darn noisy.

Their suspect? The Gore-Tex upper. It's plasticky to the touch that makes a noticeable sound when the runner is in motion.
