Trail Shoes

Since it's traditional: These are my new Asics trail shoes.

I'll keep my nimbus 15s for road runs but these are for off-road and for an 8-day hike that I'm going on next month. Breaking them in this evening, hopefully. If they are a fraction as comfy as my old Asics, they'll do well.

Thank you!

The orange is actually even brighter than it looks in the photo - at least until I get them all dusty and muddy!

There's lovely! I do like a trail shoe. I am wearing mine as I've just used them for dog walking. So comfy. Not asics though, but Brooks Cascadia

Good luck and may you run many happy miles in them

Thank you both!

You can be sure you wouldn't want to pet them once I have run in them a few times!

They look great. Love the colour scheme, and the pattern on the laces is really funky!

Did 11km in them this evening (extra km 'cos I got lost in the woods!) and they felt pretty much like my current Asics. So, if you like how Asics fit, the trail shoes seem much the same as the road shoes (at least as my Nimbus 15s).
