FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for road running?

The ASICS Trabuco MAX 5 are specifically designed for trail running. While they can be used for short stints on pavement, their features like the aggressive outsole and cushioning are optimized for off-road terrain. Prolonged road use may lead to premature wear of the outsole.

What is the difference between FF BLAST PLUS and other ASICS cushioning technologies?

FF BLAST PLUS is ASICS's latest midsole foam, designed to provide a softer, more responsive, and lighter cushioning experience compared to many previous technologies, offering a 'cloud-like' feel with good energy return.

How do I know if I need a neutral shoe?

Neutral shoes are best suited for runners whose feet do not excessively roll inward (pronate) or outward (supinate) upon landing. If you have a neutral gait, or your foot strikes more on the outside of the heel, a neutral shoe like the Trabuco MAX 5 is likely appropriate.

How much water can the water-repellent upper handle?

The water-repellent engineered mesh helps to reduce water absorption from light rain and shallow puddles. It is not fully waterproof, so prolonged submersion or very heavy rain may still result in some moisture penetration.

What is the heel drop of the Trabuco MAX 5?

The ASICS Trabuco MAX 5 features a 5mm heel drop. This is considered a lower to moderate drop, promoting a more natural foot strike for many runners.

What is the weight of the shoe?

The ASICS Trabuco MAX 5 weighs approximately 302 grams (10.7 oz) for a men's size 9 UK.

Troubleshooting

Reduced grip on certain surfaces

Ensure the ASICSGRIP outsole is clean. Mud or debris can impede traction. Inspect the outsole for excessive wear.

Feet feel fatigued on longer runs

Verify the shoe size and fit. Consider wearing them for shorter distances initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and support.

Water seeps into the shoe despite water-repellent upper

The upper is water-repellent, not waterproof. Significant immersion or heavy rain may still lead to some water entry. Ensure laces are tied snugly and consider waterproof socks for extreme conditions.

Shoe feels stiff or uncomfortable

Break in the shoes gradually. Start with shorter runs and gradually increase mileage to allow the materials to flex and mold to your foot shape.

Pros and Cons

  • Superior grip on diverse trail surfaces.
  • Lightweight construction to minimize fatigue.
  • Water-repellent upper for enhanced comfort in wet weather.
  • Responsive feel for an energetic run.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit correctly before your first run. It's recommended to wear them for shorter runs initially to allow your feet to adapt to the cushioning and fit.

Compatibility: Designed for trail running surfaces. They are suitable for neutral runners. Not specifically designed for road running or highly technical scrambling.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Remove excess dirt with a soft brush. If necessary, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water to clean the exterior. Avoid submerging the shoes or using harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
