FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Trabuco 14 is designed for breathability. If you require water-repellent features, look for the GTX version which includes a Gore-Tex membrane.
Can I use these for road running?
While technically usable, they are optimized for trails. Extended use on abrasive pavement may accelerate the wear of the specialized trail-tread outsole.
How should I clean my Trabuco 14s?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt, and hand wash with mild soap and water. Never put them in a dryer.
Is the Trabuco 14 good for wide feet?
The expanded forefoot design offers more room than traditional racing flats, though fit can vary by individual. It is recommended to try them on with your preferred hiking socks.
What is the primary benefit of FF BLAST MAX?
It provides a more energized, bouncy feel underfoot, which helps conserve energy and reduces leg fatigue during long runs or hikes.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability on uneven ground
Ensure the laces are snug, specifically locking down the reinforced midfoot area to better secure your foot.
Outsole losing traction
Clean any caked-on mud or debris from the tread pattern, as clogged grip elements significantly reduce surface contact.
Discomfort during long-distance use
Check that the shoe size allows for proper toe-splay and ensure your insoles are positioned correctly and not bunched up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Trabuco 14 shoes, it is important to follow proper maintenance steps. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing the appropriate hiking or running socks that you intend to use on the trail. After use in muddy or dusty conditions, gently brush off loose debris using a soft-bristled brush. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent; avoid using a washing machine, as this can degrade the specialized midsole cushioning. Always air dry your shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators or direct sunlight, to preserve the integrity of the adhesive and foam materials.
