FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
No, they are specifically designed for trail use and their specialized outsole and protection features will wear down quickly on asphalt.
How heavy is the Trabuco 14 GTX?
The shoe weighs 257 grams, which is quite lightweight for a fully waterproof trail shoe.
What does the 8mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot, providing a versatile balance for most runners.
Can I put these in the dryer?
No, you should never place these shoes in a dryer or near high heat, as it will damage the GORE-TEX membrane and the foam midsole.
Is this a stability or neutral shoe?
The Trabuco 14 GTX is classified as a neutral shoe.
What is FF Blast MAX?
It is a premium, lightweight cushioning material from ASICS designed for maximum energy return and impact absorption.
Troubleshooting
Moisture buildup inside the shoe
While waterproof, ensure you are wearing moisture-wicking socks to manage sweat, as the GORE-TEX layer prevents moisture from escaping.
Accumulation of trail debris
Use a gaiter if running on very sandy or loose rocky trails to prevent debris from entering over the collar of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Ensure you select your correct size to utilize the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit; because of the protective membrane, the fit should feel secure but not restrictive. When preparing for a run, lace the trainers firmly to maintain support on uneven ground. To maintain the integrity of the waterproofing and cushioning: avoid washing in a machine, which can damage the membrane. Instead, remove excess mud with a soft brush after your run and air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the materials to warp or degrade prematurely.
