Reviews of ASICS Men's GEL-Trail Lahar 3 G Running Shoe

Customer Ratings:

I have been running and playing tennis with Asics shoes for many years (since they went with the "tiger" moniker). I purchased these shoes for trail running in the Sierra Nevada. They appear to be well-constructed; however they are a FULL size smaller than Asics corresponding shoes for running and tennis. The last of the shoe may be different as well. Caveat emptor!

I typically wear a 7 to 7 1/2, depending on the manufacturer. I bought a size 8, which should have given me plenty of room. When I tried them on, I had to squeeze into them, and the fit was so snug at the top of my foot that I could tell I would either get blisters from wearing them, or that I would wear out the material prematurely. Apparently, Asics sizes are not true to standard American sizing. Tried to exchange for an 8 1/2 or 9, but Amazon doesn't offer sizes larger than 8, so I had to return them entirely. Too bad. I really wanted these sneakers for winter walking.

Best Deals on ASICS Men's GEL-Trail Lahar 3 G Running Shoe

While in Europe on a light-traveling trip, I picked up a pair for both running and walking. Great runners--did several runs up to 8 miles. But walking was even better, as they are sturdy enough to be comfortable for day long walks over streets and cobblestones, a little sturdier than my dedicated runners (which I left at home), yet very light and of course waterproof, which was nice on the wet days. I did buy up a half size, and immediately replaced the insole with an orthotic type for a bit more support.

Honest reviews on ASICS Men's GEL-Trail Lahar 3 G Running Shoe

I bought these shoes for my job working outside around swimming pools and also for doing a lot of gardening around my house. I've worn them for about 6 months and they still look very decent considering how many times they've gotten soaking wet and full of mud. Once they start to look too dirty I'll spray them down with a water hose and/or throw them in the washing machine. After that I'll set them out in my garage to dry using a small fan. Results have been great!!! No mildew smells or damages to the shoe which tells me that they are super durable and should last quite a while. I tried doing this with some of my other shoes and the process never really worked out quite as well. These shoes dry really fast! After 7 washes or so they still look pretty much new. Even the insoles still look great!

The gore-tex liner keeps my socks dry while working even when large amounts of water splashes on my feet. I was also very surprised my socks would stay dry after stepping in large puddles of water. So far the rubber soles have been very durable and slip resistant. If I was into hiking or doing other outdoor activities I'd trust these shoes to keep my feet dry. If you are considering purchasing these to use for running then I'd recommend you look for something lighter. They seem a bit too heavy for running because I normally use Nike Free Run shoes and they are significantly lighter than the ASICS. But...I didn't purchase these for running.

I gave these shoes a star off due to being slightly too small for my feet which caused some discomfort. I was hoping they would get better after the break-in period but they still feel the same since I first put them on. Even after machine washing a bunch of times. Overall the shoes are very durable and waterproof. I'm satisfied with the price paid on Amazon!!!

These shoes are very durable and I like the water resistance. I normally where a size 9. I got a size 9 in these shoes. They seem a little tight because of the Gortex liner. The length is fine, but they just seem a little tight on the top of my foot. They are very soft to walk on just like all other Asics.
