FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday wear?
While the ASICS Trabuco 14 GTX Trainers offer comfort and support, their design is optimized for trail running. For daily casual wear, other footwear might be more suitable in terms of breathability and overall feel.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide provided. It is recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the chart. Consider wearing the type of socks you typically use for running when trying them on.
Will my feet get hot in these waterproof shoes?
GORE-TEX technology is designed to be waterproof and breathable. However, compared to non-waterproof shoes, there might be a slight reduction in breathability. For extremely hot conditions, ventilation may be less pronounced.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the GORE-TEX membrane, the midsole cushioning, and other materials. Hand clean with a brush and mild soap solution, then air dry.
What is the intended terrain for the Trabuco 14 GTX?
These trainers are designed for rugged and varied trail terrain, including muddy paths, rocky sections, and wet surfaces where grip and waterproof protection are essential.
How long does the GORE-TEX waterproofing last?
The GORE-TEX membrane is highly durable. With proper care and maintenance, the waterproof and breathable properties should last for the intended lifespan of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feet feel wet despite GORE-TEX
Ensure the shoes are properly laced and the GORE-TEX membrane is intact. Water ingress might occur from the top opening if submerged. Check for any damage to the shoe's exterior.
Traction is poor on certain surfaces
Clean the outsole thoroughly to remove any mud or debris that may be clogging the tread pattern. Ensure the terrain is within the intended use for this high-traction outsole.
Discomfort or rubbing during runs
Adjust the lacing for a more secure yet comfortable fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks and that the size is correct. Break in the shoes with shorter runs initially.
Reduced cushioning over time
The EVA foam midsole is designed for responsiveness. Consistent use will naturally lead to some compression. Proper care and avoiding extreme conditions can help prolong its effectiveness.

Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed for trail running, fell running, and other outdoor activities on varied terrain. They are compatible with standard running socks.
Care: To maintain the waterproof properties and overall condition of your trainers:
- Cleaning: After use, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. For deeper cleaning, use a damp cloth or a mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents, as these can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and cushioning.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can degrade the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
