Women's ASICS GEL-Scout

Comments about Womens ASICS Gel-Scout Trail Running Shoe:

These are great hiking shoes, they feel like you are walking on pillows. I hiked 18 miles in the Grand Canyon, down South Kaibab and up Bright Angel Trail and not a single blister. Love the colors too!

Comments about Womens ASICS Gel-Scout Trail Running Shoe:

Shoe is bigger and wider than expected. Will return for a smaller size, but keeping the same brand of shoe. Extremely comfortable and they perform great on rock climbing. Good ankle support for running on uneven surfaces such as gravel. Highly recommended!

Comments about Womens ASICS Gel-Scout Trail Running Shoe:

I hike / trail jog about once a week. I use these with custom insoles because of my fairly high arches and past issues (shin splints, knee problems, some ankle problems). So far I like them a lot- I had been using my regular running shoes on the trail, so these are a clear improvement in traction and cushioning, and I expect them to be far more durable, too.

Comments about Womens ASICS Gel-Scout Trail Running Shoe:

I am recovering from a Jones fracture and surgery (2" screw in 5th metatarsal) and hoping to get back running. I have high arches and supinate quite a bit. These shoes made it feel like I was supinating even worse. Felt pain on both of my 5th metatarsals, even my "good" one, just walking. So, I need to keep looking. They seem like a great shoe for people who don't have funky feet like mine!

I use these shoes for hiking/trail running. Great support for running and plenty of traction for the hills.

Comments about Womens ASICS Gel-Scout Trail Running Shoe:

These would be the perfect trail running shoe, if it weren't for the rock protection plate in them. It took me a good month running in these shoes to build up the ankle strength to counteract the feeling of running on a wooden plank when running over large roots/rocks. I would imagine this feature being quite useful on trails with many small rocks, but not so good with the larger objects. Now I've been running in them for almost 6 months and have fully adapted to the lack of give in the bottom of the shoe. Great traction on wet trails, no problem with wet leaves or wet rock. The laces do come untied fairly easily, though.
