need some good trail running shoes any suggestions?
I am 5'6 about 130 pounds and run an average of 30 miles a week. For my outside runs I am looking for a good pair of trail shoes. I ran in my asics 1120's today and my feet are worse for the wear now. Way too light. The terrain here is broken asphault and with alot of uneven roads. I overpronate as well. I am looking at several pairs but would appreciate some accounts of some tried and true shoes. I am leaning towards asics and saucony's, any pro's or con's for a particular model would be greatly appreciated!
Stay away from Sauconys, they have really small toe boxes and if worn continually they could cause blood blisters under your toenails (ouch). If you want to stay with Asics then get their trail running shoe. If your looking for something a little more rugged try MERRELL or THE NORTH FACE. They're a little bit heavier then normal sneakers (about 18oz). They have a really tough outtersole making them good for trails and winter running. And most of them can be found with Gore-Tex, which a waterproof material making them good for keeping your feet dry during those sloppy winter months. Less of a trail shoe and more of a sneaker I would recommend trying a pair of Pearl Izumi SyncroSearch or SyncroShift. About the same as a normal sneaker but has a slightly tougher outtersole and gore-tex.
