A waterproof membrane changes what an entry-level trail shoe is for. The Sonoma is the most genuinely off-road of the three affordable ASICS trail models (above the Trail Scout and the Venture), pairing an AmpliFoam midsole, a low-density EVA with useful flex, and a large GEL unit at the heel, a combination reviewers describe as firm enough to feel controlled on rock while absorbing the heavy landings newer runners produce. Its outsole is trail-specific rather than a road pattern with lugs added. The GORE-TEX build trades breathability and about forty dollars for a bootie that keeps wet grass and puddles out, which shifts the shoe from a warm-weather starter to something that works through winter. Graphite grey with deep ocean is the sober end of a line that usually gets brighter treatment.
