On this week’s episode:
- We sent RW+ member Curtis Lerback, who lives in Missoula, Montana, the Asics Fuji Lite 5 for testing
- Ask an Expert question: “Can you explain the traction tech on a trail shoe?”
- Catch up on last week’s episode when we discussed testing the Hoka Rincon 4 with RW+ member Theresa Winterwalter
The Asics Fuji Lite 5 is a lightweight trail shoe with tacky Asics grip, 3.8mm lugs, and FFBlast EVA foam to absorb impact. Our tester and RW+ member Curtis Lerback was already a fan of Asics road shoes. We sent him the Fuji Lite 5 to see what he thought of the brand’s trail offerings.
If you want to be like Lerback and appear on a future episode, sign up now to become a RW+ member. Once you’re a member, you can fill out an application to be considered for HWYR and test shoes.
