The ASICS GEL-1130 Glistens in Pure Gold. Why trust us

ASICS is a well-known brand among runners. One of the standout features the brand’s running shoes possess is stability. And if you’re after supportive trail shoes that have all the impact protection you could ask for, nothing comes close to ASICS trail running shoes. 

However, there are a lot of choices available. We know well enough that not everything that the shoe highlights or descriptions say is real. Also, more often than not, they are just full of fluff. So we stepped forward and conducted all the testing needed - out in the field and inside our lab - to really get to know and understand each ASICS trail running shoe. 

The bonus is we selected the leading shoes during our tests and we listed them here in this article for your easy navigation!

When choosing our top ASICS trail shoes, we assess each one of them thoroughly through a series of tests in our own shoe testing lab. Before we examine them, we purchase them with our own money to avoid brand loyalty and run in them for at least 30-50 miles. 

And the following processes take place: 

  • Cut each shoe open to assess what’s inside. We do not just poke around the parts that are right under our noses: we EXTRACT everything inside the shoes!
  • Measure each aspect of the shoe in 30 different parameters. One of the aspects we measure is how watertight a shoe is. To assess this, we conduct the tests that also tell us about the shoe's level of breathability, which are the smoke test, observing the upper when put against a bright light, and viewing the upper using our microscope. These tests reveal to us how permeable the upper is, thus telling how air-loving or water-hating it is.

Best ASICS trail running shoes overall

Asics Blackheath 7 GS Обувь?

The Tênis Asics Masculino Kabuki provides mind-blowing breathability and ample cushioning for the feet on the trails. A versatile all-rounder that has a pleasant grip, the Tênis Asics Masculino Kabuki is on top of the list for the best trail running shoes in the ASICS stable.

The Tênis Asics Masculino Kabuki’s upper is superbly ventilated. When we tested its breathability using our smoke test, it scored a very commendable 4 out of 5. This winning upper of dense but breathable mesh made us feel the breeze on our toes, making trail runs quite enjoyable.

We also measured the heel stack of the Gel Venture 9 to be at 33.3 mm—more than the average of trail running shoes at 31.7 mm. Adding to that, the midsole is 10.87% softer than average. This combination of height and softness made our trail runs super comfortable and our feet were really secured.

When it comes to grip, the Gel Venture 9 is quite enjoyable during trail runs and day hikes. Its 3 mm lugs, which are slightly below the 3.5 mm average make the grip perfect for quick hikes and various paces.

However, the upper's durability is the main weakness of the Gel Venture 9. It scored a meager 1 / 5 on our Dremel test. Trail runners who prioritize more challenging routes that need durable uppers should look at other options.

la successeure de la Asics Gel Respector sest distinguée grâce à la | Best ASICS trail shoes for long distance

Asics Blackheath 7 GS Обувь?

After testing ASICS trail running shoes in the lab and out on the trails, we found Trabuco Max 2 the best for long distances. We cruised along the mountains with the plush FF Blast+ foam that delivers nothing but supreme comfort. The ride felt steady for such a monstrous shoe, and the upper had us melting away mile markers without counting.

Max 2 suits its name with max cushioning that protects our legs from fatigue and stress. We measured the 39.7/31.2 mm stack to be a buttery 17.6 HA. This is 32.8% softer than average, supporting the cozy sensation we had while running. Despite the softness, the ride feels bouncy with no instances of bottoming out.

For its stack, we’re impressed with our surefooted strides. The shoe has midsole sidewalls for subtle support, while the various-shaped 4.2 mm lugs ensure traction no matter where we run. 

An ultra-breathable mesh upper complements our remarkable underfoot experience. Though the material is thick, Trabuco Max 2 earned a 5/5 on our breathability test since it has hundreds of ventilation holes. The shoe feels great for long hours since we don't worry about blisters or hotspots.

Because of its beefy build, the shoe lacks agility on technical and twisty terrains. We recommend sticking to moderate trails with this pair.

Best budget ASICS trail running shoes

Asics Blackheath 7 GS Обувь?

With an incredibly low price tag of only $50, it’s easy to overlook the Trail Scout 2 among the ASICS lineup. However, it proves to be an incredibly durable and versatile shoe at that price point, making it hands-down our number one choice as the best budget ASICS trail running shoe. 

The Trail Scout 2 boasts lugs that are 4.2 mm thick according to our caliper. This is 0.7 mm thicker than our current lab average and means that we were able to effectively grip onto any surface during our test runs; whether dirt, gravel, mud, or even asphalt. What’s more, their subtle configuration on the outsole makes the shoe feel just as nimble on the road as it does off-road. 

Made of an abrasion-resistant mesh and multiple layers of synthetic leather, the Trail Scout 2’s upper is a true beast. While this mix of materials doesn’t give the shoe much ventilation, it does make the Trail Scout 2 durable as hell; giving us no fear of accidental snags or kicking rocks during our test runs. This level of durability isn’t usually found in such cheap shoes. 

While the word scout is often associated with light and speedy, the Trail Scout 2 is anything but.  Weighing in at 11.39 oz (323g), it’s 0.95 oz (27g) heavier than the average trail shoe. As such, the Trail Scout 2 doesn’t fit the bill as a speed trainer or a mile gobbler.

Full review of ASICS Trail Scout 2

When it comes to performance footwear for active lifestyles and athletics, there are few other brands that do it better than ASICS. Since the 1940s, ASICS has been helping push the footwear industry forward with unique designs, innovative technologies, and a classic, unmistakable aesthetic.

Now, with their foray into trail running shoes, you can enjoy the quality of ASICS’ craftsmanship and shoe technology in yet another outdoor activity. 

ASICS shoe technologies

There’s a Asics lITE yttersåle i gummi forbedrer holdbarheten ASICS shoe technologies that make their footwear different from other manufacturers. The following section contains a shortened list of tech you can expect to see in their lineup of trail running shoes. 

Asics Court Mz Sneakers Shoes 1203A127-102

Amplifoam is a midsole technology that is designed to dampen vibration and absorb the impacts that come with trail running. Compared to mother midsole foams, Amplifoam is slightly lower (or lighter) in density, meaning it feels super cushy.

Despite the lower density, Amplifoam midsoles are relatively durable and do a decent job at retaining their shape and flexibility despite the stressors that come with trail running.

The Gel Venture models of ASICS trail running shoes come equipped with Amplifoam technology.

Trail-specific outsole pattern gives you grip

ASICS trail running shoes feature a unidirectional lug pattern in the shoe’s forefoot to help propel you forward. In the rear of the shoe, the outsole features a different tread pattern to help enhance your braking power.

The lugs on ASICS trail runners are chevron-shaped, which are the best at providing traction on various surface types like dirt, gravel, grass, mud, rock, snow, and ice. The lugs are widely spaced to facilitate mud-shedding. 

Water-resistant upper helps keep your feet dry

Some ASICS trail running shoes are made with synthetic and water-resistant materials in the upper. Synthetic materials are naturally water-resistant because they do not absorb water like other natural materials, like leather or cotton textiles.

This also means that ASICS trail runners are quick-drying. So, if you get wet, your shoes will dry out relatively quickly with sunshine and a nice breeze.

FF Blast is a new ASICS technology for midsole cushioning. The new cushioning tech weighs less than its predecessors. It also offers a softer landing and better shock absorption.

Plus, FF Blast tech creates a more energized toe-off. In other words, it helps convert the impact of your step into energy for your next step as your foot progresses through its natural stride pattern.

The ASICS Trabuco Terra models of trail running shoes feature the FF Blast technology. 

How to select the best ASICS trail running shoes for you

Foot width

One of the things that make ASICS unique is that they offer a high-volume (wider) version of many of their trail running shoes. So, if you know your feet are wider and if you’ve been struggling to find shoes to accommodate your higher-volume feet, try out a pair of wide ASICS trail runners. 

Typical climate 

Some models of ASICS trail running shoes are “waterproof,” meaning they are built with water-resistant materials. If you live in a geographic area with a wet climate or just want to be prepared for any type of precipitation or moisture while trail running, consider a pair of ASICS trail runners marked “waterproof.” 

Intensity, volume, and duration of your trail running

  • Intensity: Asics Gel Kayano 5 OG Trainers Ladies?
  • Volume: how often do you go out for trail running?
  • Duration: la successeure de la Asics Gel Respector sest distinguée grâce à la? 

Thinking about the intensity, volume, and duration of your typical trail running can help you pick a model of ASICS trail runners that will serve you best. 

Tips for trying on ASICS trail runners

Trying on trail runners is more than just slipping on a pair of shoes and calling it good. If you’re going to be relying on ASICS shoes to protect and support your feet while trail running, you want them to be more than good–you want them to be perfect.

  • Try them on in the afternoon: throughout the day, your feet swell. So, to get the most accurate fit, it’s best to try new shoes on after they’ve swelled sometime in the afternoon.
  • Buy multiple pairs with different sizes: if you are unsure about size, purchase multiple pairs to experiment with sizing and then return the pairs that don’t fit the best.
  • Use the socks you plan to run with: ASICS Gel-Nimbus 9 Jess Gonsalves.
  • asics gel lyte rio pack: without going outside and getting them dirty (so you can still return them if necessary), wear your new shoes around the house to see how they make your feet feel.

How to make your ASICS trail runners last longer

Trail running is notoriously rougher on your footwear than running on a treadmill or around the neighborhood on the pavement. That’s why we always recommend a little extra shoe care to help your ASICS go for the long haul.

  • Clean them after they get muddy. The extra debris can dry out the materials and abrade the water-resistant coating. 
  • Avoid using them as everyday shoes. You can preserve the outsole by not wearing your trail runners all the time.
  • If you want your ASICS trail runners to be everyday shoes, buy two pairs so one is always trail-ready. 

“Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”

asics gel cumulus 21 men Ronnie Fieg x Asics Gel Lyte III Tokyo Trio, which roughly translates to “you should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.”

The Latin phrase was one of the major inspirations for the founder of ASICS, Kihachiro Onitsuka. He believed that physical activity was an essential part of healthy living.

So, in 1949, Onitsuka started ASICS to support and inspire athletes to lead an active lifestyle. In particular, he believed his footwear could help uplift the local youth struggling in the aftermath of the Second World War.
