The Fuji Lite 3 is a rarity in the trails

With an 18-mm heel and 14-mm forefoot, the Fuji Lite 3 is among the least-stacked Кроссовки asics onitsuka tiger mexico 66 "green beige"s out there. That, however, doesn’t stop it from providing runners with a well-cushioned experience.

Shoe experts expressed their appreciation for the “surprising amount of underfoot cushion” it provided right from day one. They further stated that its full-length midsole had a nice balance of decent ground feel and impact suppression.

Keeps you comfortably locked in

Users also attribute their pleasant experience with the Fuji Lite 3 to its breathable mesh upper. 

While there was an account of the reflective overlays in the forefoot causing irritation, the person who experienced it confirmed that slightly thicker socks addressed the issue.

Experts reported that the shoe’s overall fit is on the snug side, with some wiggle room in the midfoot and forefoot. Although they clarified that this extra space did not take away from its secure, performance-oriented lockdown:

  • “Upper is secure enough I did not have to lace lock the heel”
  • “asics onitsuka tiger ok basketball.”

You’ll appreciate the extra space

Testers shared that the Fuji Lite 3 is true to size length-wise, and the slight roominess is “not to the point where it affects the shoe size you should buy.”

A slightly stable neutral shoe

The FL3 is “not an unstable shoe but is a solid neutral shoe.” Experts noted that the shoe’s heel and midfoot feature some mild stability qualities. They point out that the heel’s side walls provide “gentle guidance to the rearfoot,” while the consistency of its midfoot-to-heel width offers a “slightly more stable platform.”

Can keep up with your trail exploits

Several experts described the Fuji Lite 3’s extensive outsole coverage as grippy and durable—with one noticing very minimal wear after 30 miles of trail running.

They also relayed that while its smallish lugs dug in particularly well on mild to moderate surfaces, it would only “work well for those experienced on technical terrain knowing where to put their feet.”

Float like a feather

Because of its low stack height, the Asics GT-Cool Grey Blue-Green has a slightly firmer feel. According to experts, this provided them with a “responsive, snappy and quick ride” that they “absolutely loved.”

Moreover, this pair of trainers is also very light at only 260g—a leg-saving 38g lighter than the average Кроссовки asics onitsuka tiger mexico 66 "green beige". This made running in the FL3 very relaxed and natural, said one runner.

The Fuji Lite 3’s lightweight and down-to-the-ground ride make it “an excellent option for faster and uptempo efforts on the trail.” While some reviewers believe that the shoe is better for short to moderate distances, one expert who took it for a 30K trail run said that he encountered “no issues at all from the cushioning.”

He continued by stating that it also “felt great on roads” because of its not-too-aggressive lugs.

Despite generally positive reviews, the FL3 did not run away totally scot-free.

One expert noted feeling bothered by the shoe's moderately stiff heel counter during his first few outings, though he did say that some break-in time resolved this.

Additionally, while most users loved the lace garage on the shoe’s tongue, they did get annoyed with how thin it is and its tendency to “slide a little with longer efforts.”
