ASICS Women's Frequent Trail Running Shoes

sole

I put about 275 to 300 miles on them before I begin to notice discomfort in my feet (toe, sole cramps), so they do break down eventually.

Bottom line: 9.5W - normal size Initially tight - pressure on the area immediately below my big toe After wearing for a bit did a test run and they seem fine When I got the shoes and tried them on I was really upset.

They are also a bit stiffer sole than what I am used to with ASICS.

width

I ordered a 9.5W, which is my normal size for asics and they seemed way narrower than my normal pair.

Matter of fact they seem narrower than all my other pair of ASICS including a running pair I bought the same day.

purchase

I bought them for someone else who suffers from feet that swell every morning and they were not suitable at all, so I kept them.

normal size

stiff

stretchy strap

They are also somewhat adjustable, in that you can tighten or loosen the laces to fit across the top of the foot.

I loosened the laces as much as I possibly could and walked around the living room for a couple minutes, they seemed better, so rather than go through the whole trial and error of ordering shoes online I decided to give them a chance.

running

They are STILL in very good condition after 4 years of running and daily use.

They pitch you forward which is fine for running.

NEVERTHELESS I genuinely ENJOY them as a running shoe.

comfortable

Comfortable
These fit well and are really comfortable.

Comfy shoe
I mostly where this show when walking my dogs.

These shoes are comfortable from the start.

No pain, pressure wasn’t noticeable, no blisters (although the moleskin helps), and no discomfort when I got home.

walking

Nice Tread on These
The tread is good for walking on unpaved or gravel trails.

waterproof

As I was walking, I can feel the water droplets on my socks.

In the product description it is stated the shoe is WATERPROOF while as you can see in the attached images it is most certainly NOT.

information

hiking

This feels a bit weird and doesn't line up with the other features which to me make the shoe feel like a trail runner/light hiker.

Replaced laces with stretchy "lock laces" so I can easily adjust the tention.


Very comfortable and lovely looking runners


These look good on, fit as expected, really comfortable.
