Fuji Lite

My asics tabucos, fujilite 3s and even gel cumulus TRs are seemingly indestructible. My feet don't seem to want anything else. My Salomons feel like plastic boxes compared to the asics.

Hey, I am training for a K65 (2.8km vert) next year and currently still using my Asics Fuji Lite. I feel that for every day training they are perfectly fine but am worried that they wont be ideal for anything >40km because cushioning etc not necessarily build for that? On rocky trails they feel a bit thin as well if that makes sense. Anyone has experience with this particular setup? I do like Asics because of wide toe box. On road days I just recently got the Asics Kayano. Any other recommendations - happy to hear! NB: The K65 is in Innsbruck/Austria in May, trails, rocks, no need for GTX. NBB: I am not a fast runner, I need something which is reliable and comfortable for longer distances.

But is the FujiSpeed 4 stable enough (hope that makes sense)? FujiLite is really great, but sometimes it feels like not enough cushioned, stable, firm, if that makes sense? Like a typical shoe you would get when u want to get started with trail running (so it was perfect for me at that time haha). Now I feel like I could use something more.. "advanced".

Also in MN. Adidas continental rubber on road shoes is what I tend to use quite a bit. Trail shoes are generally really firm on the road. If I have a workout on the schedule and it's actively blizzarding or raining and cold, I'll use the treadmill in my basement. But for all easy long runs I run outside year-round. One trail shoe I have found do well on the road and snow is the asics fuji lite line. Not particularly fun or exciting to run in as they're just eva, but comfortable enough on the road and trails and even in snow.

Asics fuji lite works for me as fast, light shoe.

The ones that fit me well. I really enjoyed the old NB hierro V5 and V6, then they made them narrower and not using them anymore. Asics shoes fit me really well, used lots of pairs of trabuco and some Fuji lite for speedwork and short racing. Deciding between mount to coast T1 and Sportiva prodigio pro for this year's long objetive in high mountain technical terrain, 10 hours or so. If anyone has both, will appreciate an insight.

I also have quite flat and wide feet, give a try to Asics options. Be careful with trabuco 13s upper, it breaks really quick, I would go for 12s. - I use a soft pair for recovery days and long not technical runs. I have being using hierro since V5, but V9 is not wide enough and V8 is not technical enough. I'm using Nike Zegama 2 now. - For high intensity and short fast runs Asics fujilite. Technical or not, they are great shoes. Im on a v4 pair. - mid to long technical runs Asics trabuco 13, I would go with the 12s because of upper issues, but Asics sent me a replacement so I'm with them. - mid to long not highly technical runs merrel agility peak 5. I just throw them with 700km. I'll take another pair soon probably. I have a mafate speed 4 pair, intended to use them for long technical outings in replacemt of trabucos, but they are too narrow and I'm not confortable longer that 2 or 3 hours with them. They are a nice shoe if they fit you

Depending on the terrain and how technical they are. Asics fujilite, if there is not much mud are my go to for fast shorthis runs. Light, fun, roomy and easy to run in them.

I had same problem with speedgoat 6 wide and Topo mtn racer 3, among other lot of shoes. Mafate speed 4s are a little wider/more volume than the speedgoats if you want to try hoka. I dont run on them more than 3 hours because they still feel narrow to me and cant size up more. Shoes that fit me well and could work for runnable with some technical sections: Asics trabuco 13s: My do it all shoe. From runnable to really technical, the upper gets ripped of easy. Not tall, not too soft but still cuishioned. I have run on them 10+ hours race in very technical high altitude terrain. Asics fujilite: If you are not heavy they could work. I use them for shorter racers and high intensity workouts. Very confortable, but dont have a rockplate and you could feel too much ground if the terrain is rocky. Merrel agility peak 5: Easy running and can handle some technical sections. Dont know if the 6 fits in the same way. Nike Zegama 2: Confortable for easy to moderate terrain. Too soft for really technical stuff in my opinion. Fits nice. Sportiva Akasha 2 and tomir 2: Maybe not the best for the runnable sections, but nice on the technical ones. They are roomy and confortable. I havent tried them but thinking of getting a pair of mount to coast T1 for this years big objetives. They are supposed to be roomy and confortable for long races.

I've hit about 100 miles on these so far and I'm loving them!!! Love a minimalistic feeling shoe too

I really like my ASICS Fuji Lites but also my Saucony Peregrines! Though I find myself reaching for the ASICS first (if they are dry)

ASICS Fuji Lite, on the road I use support shoes but I really like that feel of these on the trails. Very minimal shoes.

If you want better rock protection check out the FujiSpeed 4. Similar fit, but has a nylon plate that protects the foot much better. I am using it for a 50k in about a month, and it will be fine for that distance. The FujiLite is a great shoe, my only complaint is the lack of a rock plate, so your concerns are warranted.
