Review on ASICS Gel Scram Black Neon Lime Men's Shoes and Athletic by Brandon Hunter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cross country runners

I've been running at ASICS for almost 25 years now. To be honest they haven't changed much in that time and that's why I like them. This couple is no exception. I live in a wilderness area and do a lot of trail running. I always have a pair of ASICS for road running and one for trail running. The fit and feel of the Scram 5 is very similar to the Excite, which I like as well. It just has a little more traction with the outsole. The cushioning of this model is reliable, as with almost all ASICS models. Others describe this shoe as small for the advertised size. I found it just right. The 9.5 is 11.5 inches long, which is the same size as all of my other ASICS 9.5 models. It seems a little tight, but most ASICS models stretch that way at first. Since I don't have wide feet, that's not a problem for me. For those of you with high arches who want to run off-road, this shoe might be for you.

Pros
  • Very convenient. Fits true to size.
Cons
  • May not be as durable as other ASICS running shoes.
