ASICS Trabuco 14 Gtx Trainers - Black/Grey - UK 5.5

These shoes are specifically designed for trail running and feature an outsole optimized for grip on uneven terrain. While they can be used for short distances on roads, their primary advantage and durability are on trails.

Avoid machine washing or using harsh detergents. Clean them gently with cool water and a soft brush. Ensure they are thoroughly air-dried away from direct heat. Proper care helps maintain the integrity of the GORE-TEX membrane.

The primary advantage is the GORE-TEX membrane, which offers superior waterproof protection while maintaining breathability, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in wet conditions and preventing external water from entering.

Refer to the ASICS sizing chart and measure your foot. The listed size (e.g., UK 5.5) corresponds to a specific foot length. It's recommended to try them on if possible, as fit is crucial for performance and comfort.

Yes, the comfort, cushioning, and traction provided by the Trabuco 14 Gtx make them suitable for hiking on similar terrain as trail running.

It's best to clean them after each significant use, especially if they are caked in mud or dirt. Regular cleaning prevents debris from degrading the materials and maintains performance.

This could be due to internal perspiration. Ensure you are using breathable socks. In very hot conditions, even GORE-TEX can reach its breathability limit. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each run.

Check the outsole for embedded debris (mud, small stones). Clean the lugs thoroughly. The outsole is optimized for trails; performance on very slick rock or wet wood may vary.

Trail running shoes, especially those with waterproof membranes, often require a short break-in period. Wear them for shorter runs initially and gradually increase distance as they mold to your feet.

Inspect the GORE-TEX membrane for any tears or damage. Ensure the tongue area is properly sealed and laces are tied snugly to prevent water ingress from the top. If damage is suspected, contact customer support.
