Supertrac Ultra RC

I wore few different pairs just because they were cheap. Supertrac 2 were very comfy on foot with the upper made out of paper. They only lasted 258km. I don’t chuck shoes on their first hole but I was getting good sized pebbles into the shoe. Supertrac RC2 were kind of alright but it didn’t really shine at anything. I don’t think they were a race shoe for anything: not enough grip or security for the food for short distance, pretty unforgiving for long distance. RC 3 are substantially different but I won’t take a gamble at them. Supertrac Ultra RC were the best out of three. Quite a firm and uninspiring ride but very durable and just worked on any terrain for long slow plods. I took them to Iceland and covered some rough ground and snow in them. Lasted 1369km. I wouldn’t buy any of them again, but that’s only because there’s nicer shoes out there.

I had Scott Supertrac RCs, Hoka Speedgoats and LaSportiva Bushidos before, last year I had the opportunity to take part in an Asics shoe test event and really liked them. I got a pair of Asics FujiLite 5s and really, really loved them. Ran over 600km in them last year and would say they are a wonderful versatile shoe. Used them in alpine terrain as well as chill forest trails, never had a Problem, was especially surprised with their sole/grip on wet trails. Would 100% recommend the FujiLites, i did not enjoy the other Asics trail shoes too much though, the Gel trabuco etc. felt weird for my taste...
