I've been trail running in Asics "gel jobbies" for over 20 years. I love them. I overpronate and like a wide toebox. They almost always have several models with light mesh over the toes if you like that. I do for trail RUNNING. However, I tried to wear my trail runners once while backpacking. My feet said things would make a sailor blush!

I might try them again though now that my pack weight is more reasonable.

I know a lot of runners though who love New Balance and Saucony . . .
