Customers like the comfort of the shoes. They say the support and cushioning are divine, even carrying a heavy pack. The shoes have better support than Clark shoes and traction as good as Timberland hiking boots. Customers also mention that their feet and legs don't hurt after a long day with these shoes.

    The color is terrible. Looks like they been sitting around for awhile in a closet. But I did size up abit. As you get older your feet widden. I found them very comfortable and even walking across the ice they held up well. I know alot of folks go for the color and this certainly is not attractive but they are very comfortable to wear. I would recommend them and I would buy them again.

    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2024
    Verified Purchase
    My podiatrist recommended Asics (instead of Clarks as that company has gone down in quality over the years) based on my wider feet, love of walking, and neutral gait.

    I moved to hiking country and have spinal issues to contend with, so I decided to give Asics a try and leave my 30-yr loyalty to Clark's.

    SUPPORT
    WOW. In comparison to my newer Clark walking shoes, the Asics Trabuco hiking shoes significantly reduce the pressure on my disks and joints. My feet are convinced they are walking on clouds.

    Excellent support throughout and not just in the arch, heel, or ball. My step is easier and glides.

    THE FIT
    They fit smaller than Clark's. Compared to most shoes, these are wider with a roomy toe-box. The mesh toe helps allow air to flow, but my feet still get warm in the high desert mountains. (This one breathes better than most, but a little more would be nice.)

    THE LOOK
    They look and are clunky. The bottoms have deep traction grooves at different angles to maximum grip on varying terrain. The color is bold. I'm used to subdued colors. I thought these would be a darker purple but they are a bright purple color - like the inside of the blackberry, not the outside.

    (Black wasn't an option so I had to step outside my comfort zone, but I've received a lot of complements on the color. It is pretty.)

    RUNNING/ HIKING
    I can't speak to running, but these shoes have better support than my Clark shoes and traction as good as my Timberland hiking boots.

    For scrambling or advanced hikes requiring a rigid, steel toe box, I'll use my Timberlands. For everything else outdoors, these are my go-to shoe.

    FINAL VERDICT
    If you experience pain from standing or walking but love to walk and/or hike, get these shoes. Look good, feel better.

    I don’t know it I received a counterfeit but went running 3 times and each time feet hurt horribly bad. I finally ran 7 miles yesterday and can’t hardly walk today. I have never had an issue like this. Sparked horrible pain. These are going in the garbage.

    It’s my second pair. I’m a hiker and these have “converted me” from wearing hiking boots/shoes to runners. I have had foot problems in the past and with my own insoles have ZERO problems with my feet wearing these for miles on end, steep inclines/declines. The grip on these its amazing. They rival any hiking boot. The support and cushion is divine (even carrying a heavy pack). Love these!!!
