My first
impression of fuzeX™:
Unboxing the ASICS fuzeX™ for the first time, I was pleased
by the attractive colour, Turquoise/Sharp Green/Ink.
When I put the fuzeX™ on, they're quite light and
comfortable. I noticed fuzeX™ toe box is narrower than usual running shoes and
if you have wide feet, you might want to consider a half size larger.
The Verdit:
Running in the FuzeX™ requires some break in time. I would
recommend doing some short run and gradually increasing it. For my break in
period, I walked around the park for 2km before I gave them a try in a slow
short 5km run. Till date, I've accumulated over 60km in this shoes ranging from
5km to 16km. I ran in it on different terrain ranging from asphalt surface,
pavements and on the beach. The fuzeX™ gives
quite good grip on wet
surfaces.
I found the shoe to be responsive and have not experience
any foot pain nor blisters. I feel comfortable wearing them for my longer runs.
The fuzeX™ has a snug feet feel to it and does not feel tight on the heels. It
is snug enough to stop small stones and sand from getting inside the shoe while
I was running at Desaru beach. The shoe has moderate support, cushioning was
there and feels responsive throughout my runs.
I would recommend this shoe to those who are looking for
comfort shoes for their runs. The fuzeX™ is currently available in stores for
RM459 and you can grab it at your nearest ASICS outlets.
