ASICS Trabuco 14 Gtx - Trainers - Black/Grey - UK 9

While comfortable, these shoes are specifically engineered for trail running. Their aggressive tread and specialized features are best utilized on trails for optimal performance and durability.

Gently brush off loose mud with a dry brush. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth with mild soap and water. Rinse lightly and air dry completely away from heat.

GORE-TEX Invisible Fit is designed for breathability, but like all waterproof materials, it can be warmer than non-waterproof options, especially in very hot conditions. They are ideal for wet and moderate temperatures.

The Trabuco 14 Gtx features a more rugged outsole for traction, rock plate for protection, and a more supportive fit tailored for uneven terrain, unlike the smoother, more cushioned design of road running shoes.

Try them on with the type of socks you typically run in. Ensure there's a finger's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. The heel should feel secure, and the midfoot snug without being constricting.

The ASICSGRIP rubber is known for its durability and excellent traction across a range of conditions, designed to withstand the rigors of trail running.

Ensure laces are tied securely and water is not entering from the top opening. Check for any damage to the GORE-TEX membrane. If the issue persists, consider that extreme prolonged submersion might eventually lead to some moisture penetration.

The ASICSGRIP outsole is designed for a variety of trails, but performance can vary on extremely polished or wet smooth surfaces. Ensure the outsole is clean of mud or debris for maximum grip.

This could be due to the supportive lockdown feature. Try adjusting lace tension, ensuring the midfoot is snug but not overly tight. Allow a break-in period for the shoe to mold to your foot.

While designed with a wider forefoot than previous models, individual foot shapes vary. Ensure you have the correct size and consider if a wider width option (if available) would be more suitable.
