This dual-density midsole setup is designed to deliver a springy ride while still being somewhat stable on uneven ground.
However, I found that the shoe lacked traction on softer trails when running mainly on mud or grass.
On hard-packed forest paths, the shoe ran beautifully and it didnt feel unstable even when charging downhill.
Its also a good road-to-trail shoe, with the outsole gripping well and being comfortable on the road.
Should you buy the Asics Metafuji Trail?
In the right circumstances the Asics Metafuji Trail is a dream to run in.
Once you hit more testing terrain, however, these features become more of a concern than a benefit.
TheNike Ultrafly Trailis a good alternative for those looking for a stable carbon plate trail shoe.
