FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The standard Trabuco 14 features an engineered mesh for breathability; if you require waterproof performance, look for the GTX (Gore-Tex) variant.
Can I use these for road running?
While durable enough for short road segments, the lugs on the ASICSGRIP outsole are optimized for trails and will wear down faster on asphalt.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Gently wipe with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then air dry away from direct heat.
What is the purpose of the rock plate?
The rock plate sits between the midsole and outsole to prevent sharp rocks and roots from causing discomfort or injury to the sole of the foot.
Does the Trabuco 14 come in different widths?
The fit is generally standard; it is recommended to purchase your normal athletic shoe size or half a size up to accommodate swelling during long runs.
Troubleshooting
Foot slipping inside the shoe on descents
Ensure the laces are tightened properly and use the lace band to maintain a snug fit; consider a runner's loop lacing technique.
Build-up of dirt on the outsole
Use a stiff-bristled brush to dislodge debris from the grip lugs after every trail session to maintain traction performance.
Laces coming loose during activity
Double-check that the laces are securely tucked into the integrated lace band provided on the upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your ASICS Trabuco 14, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your trainers on shorter walks or flat paths before attempting technical trail runs to allow the foam and mesh to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: After muddy runs, remove loose dirt with a soft brush. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water if necessary; never submerge them in a washing machine.
- Drying: Air dry only at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent odor buildup.
