Light trail shoe. Need to go a half size bigger for a perfect fit.

Very comfortable, waterproofing excellent. Soles noisy on hard surfaces but grip excellent on mud and off road.

I bought the blue and the black and yellow in a 13, but the blue were too small by a half size. Strange that they weren't the same size. The black and yellow are nice though

Compared to my old fujiattack trail shoes, these are heavier and not as flexible, the goretex is great for keeping my feet dry but it also over warms my feet. I have only tested these shoes in the summer, they are possibly great for winter runs, time will tell.

A nice comfortable solid shoe. The delivery time was disappointing but I blame the courier for that.

I've lost count of the pairs of Asics shoes that I have bought and enjoyed. The removable sock liner in the most recent version is a narrow, flat and foam material. I have replaced this with the sock liner from my previous pair so that it suits my orthotics. Just to make others aware.

I use Asics Nimbus for road but bought these for a bit of off road running. The fit is very good and they have quite a bit of shock absorption for a trail shoe. I'm 6'3" and 15 stone so they can take a pounding! All in all recommended if you're looking for a reasonably priced shoe for a bit of trail running.

I've bought ASICS runners from time to time as they are always a good fit for my slightly wider feet and I don't blow out the sides. These Gore-tex lined versions are great for keeping my feet dry why taking my dogs out (walk and jog) through the parks and meadows. The tread pattern of the 5 is better for grip than previous versions I've had. The upper liner has a slight krinckle noise but this is Ok and I suspect it will settle. Good support, fit, comfort, protection for the price.

This shoe fits very different than the GT1000 or 2000. I'm sticking with it for now, but probably would not purchase again unless the design changes.
The shoes fits longer and is narrower than other Asics shoes. So, if you have a long, narrow foot....you'll probably love it.

They were too narrow ...gave me a fibroma after 1 wear. Returned them and bought Ventures in a wide width

This is a light weight shoe, expected a more rugged shoe. Still comfortable and true to size

I was hoping after the shoes got broken in, they'd be more comfortable, but they are not. They don't fit right at the toes, and my heels are sore after wearing them all day.

Not as comfortable in the heel area as I am use to with their products. By the end of the day I notice my feet are sore.

It rubbed my little toe. So I returned it. Over time it may have stretched, but I went for a different pair of Asics. I did like the thick sole and heel-toe drop better than the Asics I chose. The color on these could be more inspiring.

It's good but it has a weird noise, like stepping into plastic bags every single time...

The sizing is all wrong on these shoes. I am a 7.5, ordered a 7.5, and they are at least at 8.5. I will exchange as I’ve had good luck with this style but sure wish ASICS would figure out the sizing.

They're about average. Had the sonoma 4, which were absolute junk.
