Trail running with my dog is a passion of mine and Ive always had ASICS shoes because Im just not able to afford anything too fancy (to be honest) but its never held me back. I decided to make the switch from ASICS because my model was discontinued and the new one didn't feel as solid.

These shoes fit like my old Asics. I find trail shoes range from what I call moon walkers (1) to trail slippers (10) and going off that scale I like a shoe around 4.5-5. These are that.

Ive taken them on several technical trails, sand, road (sorry!), mud, gravel, riverside, 3-7 miles each time and theyve been good. Theyre solid and I feel confident and supported in them... much more so than my last two relationships.

I wear a daily shoe 7, a trail shoe 7.5 but I had to get an 8 in these. With a thick pair of compressions they're great.
