    Hi Ladies,

    I'm looking for a trail racer and am undecided between the Saucony Kinvara TR2 and ASICS FujiRacer. Any thoughts on cushion, protection, flexibility and fit/size?

    I have used the Brooks PureGrit. Liked the sole, but found the arch a little too high, and they were way too sloppy in the ankle/heel cup.

    I liked the fit of Mizuno Ascend, but they were too stiff.

    For road shoes, my all-time faves were the ASICS DS SkySpeed. Also like the original PureFlow (NOT the 2), and ASICS Gel Lyte33.

    Comments on the FujiTrainer are appreciated too! (Fit comparison especially).

    Thanks and Thanks!

    I wore the kinvara TR2 over the summer and loved them. The aggressive grip was great on the trails/hills and they felt light like a racing flat. As for protection, the mesh upper is pretty weak, and I've had thorns come through the top(I go through pretty crazy trails though). They are really minimal, but they don't exactly feel like a glove like the NB minimus, they feel like a running shoe, and you have decent heel support despite the 4mm drop.

    I highly recommend them.

    I wear the Fuji Racers (as a training shoe) and I really like them, but unfortunately, I can't compare them to any of the shoes you have worn. (But you came me some ideas to try). I have worn the DS Racers, which were allegedly the same shoe (except for roads) as the Fujis. I didn't like those quite as much and I kept having sharp gravel bits poke through the sole (through the holes) and through the insole into my feet. ouch.
