Asics Women's Fuji Lite 5
Our Take
Inspired by the Hinoki Cypress tree that is native to Mount Fuji, the Asics Fuji Lite 5 is a balanced and lightweight trail shoe that keeps you focused on the path ahead. This lower profile shoe will feel nimble and fast underfoot and is best suited for neutral runners who run light on their feet.
Similar to the successful Fuji Lite 4, updates to the new version focus on improving sustainability, using a larger percentage of recycled material in the upper.
