FAQs
Are the ASICS Trabuco 14 waterproof?
The standard Trabuco 14 is not waterproof. If you require water protection, look for the GTX (Gore-Tex) version of the series.
Can these be used for road running?
While they can be used on short stretches of pavement, the outsole is designed for trail grip and will wear down faster on concrete.
What does the 8mm drop mean?
The drop refers to the height difference between the heel and the forefoot; 8mm is a standard offset that provides balanced support.
Are these shoes suitable for overpronation?
The Trabuco 14 is a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support for overpronation, you may need a separate orthotic insole.
How often should I replace these trail shoes?
It is generally recommended to replace trail running shoes every 300 to 500 miles, or sooner if the outsole lugs show significant signs of wear.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe during descents
Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to better secure your heel in the back of the shoe.
Excessive buildup of mud in the outsole lugs
Once the mud has dried, tap the shoes together or use a stiff-bristled brush to clear the debris from the traction channels.
Discomfort on long hikes
Ensure your socks are moisture-wicking and seamless to prevent friction points, as trail shoes require more foot movement than rigid boots.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Trabuco 14 shoes, follow these guidelines. First, ensure you have selected your correct UK size for a secure fit, allowing for a thumb-width of space in the toe box to accommodate natural foot swelling during exercise. When cleaning, avoid the washing machine; instead, remove loose dirt with a soft brush and clean the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the cushioning materials. If the insole is removable, take it out between uses to improve airflow and drying speed.
