Our read
Ride
Soft, high-stack FF BLAST PLUS ride tuned for cushioning over responsiveness, with a rock plate and deep 5mm lugs for protection on long mountain outings.
Fit
Standard width only, with a roomy enough forefoot typical of ASICS trail models but no wide option.
Best for
Long trail runs and ultras where max cushioning and underfoot protection matter more than agility.
Avoid if
You want a nimble, responsive shoe for technical terrain or faster efforts.
