ASICS
Blazeblast
ASICS's bouncy road-shoe feel taken off-road: a high stack of FF Blast Max foam with a springy forefoot pod and shallow 2.5 mm lugs. Ideal for towpaths, gravel and park trails, but not for mud or technical ground.
Where to buy the Blazeblast

Fit
True to size
True to size, in line with ASICS's road shoes; the soft woven upper is comfortable but gives less protection than a full trail shoe.
What the critics say
- Positive: Comfortable, bouncy cushioning that suits long runs
- Positive: Grippy, hard-wearing outsole on gravel and dirt paths
- Positive: Versatile enough for roads, easy trails and travel
- Mixed: Uses FF Blast Max rather than ASICS's livelier FF Turbo foam
- Negative: Not enough grip for mud or technical, rocky trails
