When were the Asics running trail shoes bought?
My dad actually bought these men’s Asics running shoes to do his Iceland marathon back in August 2017. It turned out it got cancelled. But he came back and did the Snowdonia marathon in 2018. My dad’s always ran for years and years; he’s why I started my running journey and why I bothered buying my first pair of running trainers, the New Balance 410 v8. Anyway, he’s done Race the Train, Snowdonia and other marathons too in his time so he’s pretty clued up on running and which trainers are good!

What running has been done in the Asics running shoes for men?
Dad trained for in 2017 and then ran the Snowdonia marathon in 2018 in the Asics, so that’s quite possibly in the hundreds of miles (now we’re in 2025!). And a lot of brutal winter training, so they’re definitely strong and reliable to run in, and super comfortable for all levels of runner. He trained through the summer as well so they’re pretty versatile. I watched my dad do the Snowdonia marathon and can confirm he did great so they’re perfect for beginner runners or runners looking for some Asics trail running shoes – even through the winter!
“I even use them now as my walking trainers and to do bits of gardening cos they are just that comfy! They are worn out now though as running shoes. They looked great in the beginning too, and it will be a sad day when they run off to trainer heaven. They were/are my favourite trainers”.

Where can I buy Asics running shoes for men?
