Womens trail running shoes

Has anyone any recommendations for a good trail running shoe for neutral gait?

I keep coming back to the Asics gel fuji trainer : http://www.asics.co.uk/running/products/gel-fuji-trainer-women/

But as they're new for summer 2012, I can't find many reviews on them. Does anyone have any experience with any of the asics fuji line? Or recommend any other trail runner?

You'll probably need to try on a couple of different shoes. Everyone's foot is different, so what works for me might not work for you.

The place to start is with your road running shoes (assuming you have some). Many manufacturers will make a trail model on the same last. If you like the road version, chances are you will like the trail version. It's not always a sure thing, though. And if your feet are fussy, it might take some time to find the right pair. It's worth it to spend some time and effort.

Also, if you aren't running really technical trails, your road shoes might be just fine for running on the trails. Trail shoes tend to have better lateral stability (that is, they are generally--but not always--stiffer), but if you're not dodging a lot of rocks and roots then the road shoe might do the trick.

I'm kind of a shoe addict. I generally rotate through 3 pairs at any one time. I'm not super fussy, but I definitely have some preferences that seem to hold true over time.

I have the Asics Fuji Racer, and I love them! We broke them in on a 6 mile muddy run and they were amazing. Very flexible, very light, and they didn't hurt to break in at all. Definitely the best investment I've made for my newly found addiction of trail running.

I don't know how much they differ from the Trainers that you're looking at. . .I think mine might have a little less cushioning in them, but that's the way I like them.
