The shoe is lightweight and extremely comfortable in fit. However, there is no give in the cushioning of this sole. I have run on mixed terrain for about 10 miles total in these shoes and went back to my cross trainer. If you are looking for a shoe that has good shock absorption, this is NOT the shoe for you. I was pretty disappointed in the quality for the price of the shoe. If you do not need or want alot of cushion or a killer shock absorber, then you might like this one.

I run on trails and love the mud, these shoes are great and haven't caused any problems. The toebox is nice and roomy, so I haven't experienced any pinching or blistering.

Needed a more durable sneaker for runs with the dog through park trails. Water resistant so far, not that I've run through giant rain storms yet.

I love this shoe because it is the lightest trail running shoe I have ever worn. It als adjusts to my foot just as well. It does run a little more narrow and a half a size smaller than my previous New Balances. I like this shoe so much though, that I think I am going to go with it from now on after being a 6 year New Balance user.

I am an avid trail runner and avoid pavemnt at all costs! I've tried a lot of the Asics trail shoes, but liked this one the best.
The mock sock kept out dirt and water and kept my feet dry.
Also kept it on through deep mud. Good traction. For a trail shoe, it is light; not big and clunky. It is stiff enough to prevent ankles from rolling, but still has an element of cushioning. The crazy color keeps them looking clean longer. If you are unlucky enought to HAVE to run on the pavemtn, this shoe is also comfortable on the roads too.

in my opinion, asisc makes the best athletic shoes bar none. i have always been able to put them on and they immediately feel broken in. i generally run/walk 4 miles a day and have never had a blister from wearing an asics shoe. the only thing you need to know is that, in my opinion, they run a little small. i generally wear a 9.5 in an athletic shoe, but in asics i wear a 10.
