From the Manufacturer

In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable Trail Runner, But Poor Footbed, July 8, 2009

These are probably the most comfortable trail running shoes I have ever owned. But, I had to search for a replacement footbed immediately after my first run. I have normal width and arch feet. The footbed that comes with these shoes is inexcusable -- it's paper thin and flimsy. It would slide under-foot while running and bunch up in the toes or heal. Sadly, Asics doesn't make a replacement footbed so I had to use a Montrail footbed ($25) which is more sturdy.
Otherwise, the shoes are now very comfortable. Strange sizing, too. Alittle small. I'm hoping the next version of these is better.

Shopped for any trail runners. Narrowed it down to a couple. Tried Asics because their running shoes hold up. These monsters kick serious @ss! and are very comfy doing it. I expect them to hold up to anything I can throw at them and do it longer than most. If ur on the fence between a couple shoes, get off and go get 'em. You won't be disappointed.

Very good trail running shoes. You can go everywhere, hard, stable and comfortable. And the grey color really covers all the dust you can get on the road. Agree on the sizing, just a little bit small than a normal ASICS 12.
