Very good trail running shoe, particularly for the price. Managed to put in some good 15-mile long runs with no problem. Good traction, highly durable.
Pros
- Good traction
- Highly durable
- Cheap! (got mine for $50-ish)
Cons
- A little heavy
- Some break-in period involved, got hot spots until I got past that
Fit: Good, Asics always works well for my wider feet. Heel is a little loose, so I used an ankle lock.
Comfort: OK, break-in period needed. Got some hot spots around my upper foot.
Traction: Very good
Durability: Fantastic, probably have 200-300 miles on these with few signs of wear (of course they are very dusty).
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $50
