Asics Metafuji Trail 2

Asics Metafuji Trail 2 review: what runners say

Fit

Slim, precise glove-like fit. The non-elastic Motion Wrap upper and sock-like design can make entry difficult, but ensures effective lockdown.

Feel

Responsive, structured ride that is less soft than the high stack suggests. The combination of foams and X-shape carbon plate provides marked propulsion and fluid transitions.

Durability

Estimated to be adequate for racing or quality training, not extreme mileage. 3.5mm outsole shows limited wear after initial testing.

Best for

Race shoe for runnable trails, packed paths, and gravel. Ideal for experienced runners seeking speed over middle to long distances; not recommended for technical or muddy terrain or for those seeking stability.

Weak points

Unstable on technical and uneven terrain due to high profile. Entry is difficult due to the lack of a heel tab. Some runners report a tendency to lose lateral stability on off-camber sections.
