ASICS Mens Alpine XT SpevaFoam Athletic Trail Running Shoes

Asics, you've done it again. Bringing woven patterns with mesh designs. I gotta say these Alpine XT are comfortable, allowing space and flexibility. My feet are wide, these can make up the difference for width. Spevafoam is firm with good bounce back on concrete or trail running. Now here comes the "CON" cleaning these bad boys.....ugh are a task and I mean a task. You can't fully wet them, because the muck will soak through the shoes. You can't scrub them, they'll begin to chafe and most of the material will start to look tacky. So you gotta be patient and gentle with the cleaning procedure, a damp towel, first loosen up any muck then a dry towel to wipe. This will keep them looking new. "Side note" purchase a $1 toothbrush, it will help clean the sole of the shoes, there are little 'mm' spaces between the the tread.

Trying to get back into running I have to say these are some of the most comfortable running shoes I have ever owned. So far the shoes are sturdy and well built without any signs of wear and tear yet with already 20+ miles put into them. As a person with feet that can get very hot and sweaty while running the breathable top layer of the shoe is extremely great. You can feel the air moving through the shoe as you move. I usually wear between a 12 and a 12 and a half. I got these in a 12 and a half and they fit perfectly. So I wouldn't quite say they run small but I'm sure the 12 would have been tighter than normal but not uncomfortable.

The Alpine XT feels a bit heavy, but has a good deal of cushion and better than expected traction. Toe box feels tight compared to other Asics models, but has loosened up a bit with use. It would be great for longer runs if only it had some arch support.

Good fit, but a little hard on the tips of toes. I love the colours and look! I can't necessarily wear everyday but good for short trips to gym or small errands.

The shoe looks great and provides great comfort for exercise including biking, running, walking, and more. Also great for long shopping trips or other activities. Seems durable and time will tell.

OK shoe. I have a few ASICS shoes, always size 10.5. This one seems to run really small

I had already bought a black pair from the ASICS's store and wanted another pair. Unfortunately they are not made anymore. This color was just as good and nice for a different style. Fit is perfect and I feel I can walk a whole lot faster with these shoes. Lightweight but very supportive. I tried all kinds of the other expensive brands and the other brands did not feel as good.

Run 5Ks daily in several different running shoes! I always go back to my Alpine XTs! They're comfortable, light, feet feel supported, and great cusion!
