Trail Running Shoes Help?

I'm a beginner at competing in trail running races. This year I have been competing in 5k to 15k races to work myself up to longer races in the future.





I purchased a pair of Asics Gel Trail Sensor shoes this year and I find that even though these shoes are very comfortable running the trails but after running the bottom of my feet ache like crazy.





The trails I run are usually single track mountain bike trails that are extremely rocky, steep with numerous roots. FYI - I am neutral prone.





So, if anyone has a line on a great runner that that can take these extreme conditions and make my feet happy and not make me not want to burn my runnners after every race, I would appreciate the info.

Trail Running Shoes Help?
Unfortunately you need to find that out for your self. I have tried several shoes and ended up with Asics as the best. I started with Reebok's and they were good but wore out to quick I thought and then went to New Balance and even though they were pretty good I got terrible shine splints so I went to the more expensive Asics and wa la.


So I think you may just have to search for the magic shoe your self.


One thing you might want to try though is some sort of insert.


I did buy Reebok for trail running or as a cross trainer but when you lift a pair of Reebok's compared to Asics well as you know asics are amazingly light.





Have you ever given a thought towards maybe you aren't neutral prone? I would make sure of that before I go buying another brand of shoes. Asics are very good shoe.
