Gear Review: Asics Gel Fuji Trainer 2

Asics Gel Fuji Trainer 2
 The Asics Gel Fuji Trainer 2 is the best trail shoe I have ever had to return. Twice. Lets start the story from the beginning. I am coming to the last 50 miles or so on my favorite trail shoe to date, Saucony Progrid Xodus 3.0 so that means I better start breaking in a new shoe as the old one fades out. The Xodus has apparently been discontinued. The trail version of my beloved Kinvara 3 is the all new Kinvara TR2 but that is too narrow as is the Saucony Peregrine. Saucony is out. My next favorite brand is Brooks and the Cascadia is better suited for a heel striking heavyweight compared to what I am looking for. The Brooks Pure Grit 1 & 2 are both suppose to have pretty lousy grip. Brooks are out. My next stop was Asics and they had a shoe that looked perfect on paper for what I wanted.
