Best for
The Metafuji Trail 2 is ASICS' carbon-plated trail racer, pairing FF LEAP with FF BLAST PLUS for impact absorption and energy return, and running a full-length, trail-specific carbon plate over roots, rocks and uneven ground. It has a 5 mm drop and weighs 255 g, and at $250 it is priced as the specialist it is.
It suits trail racing and ultra-distance efforts, where the plush cushion and plate keep you moving when the ground gets rough. It is for runners who already know they want a fast, high-end trail model.
It is not a casual shoe, and it is not an easy-day trainer. The plate and soft foam are wasted on slow, short outings, where a plainer trail shoe will do the job for far less.
