FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?
While they can handle short road transitions, they are specifically engineered for uneven trails. The outsole lugs may wear down quickly on asphalt.
What is the weight of the shoe?
The ASICS Trabuco 14 GTX weighs approximately 257 grams.
How does the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit differ from standard GORE-TEX?
Invisible Fit technology is integrated directly into the upper, providing a lighter, more flexible feel that fits more like a standard running shoe.
What is the heel drop?
The shoe features an 8mm heel-to-toe drop.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the waterproof membrane and the structural integrity of the shoe. Hand washing is recommended.
Is this shoe good for overpronation?
The Trabuco 14 GTX is designed as a neutral shoe. If you require significant arch support for overpronation, consult a specialist about using corrective insoles.
Troubleshooting
Water entering the shoe during heavy rain
Ensure that your socks are not wicking moisture into the collar. Use gaiters if water is splashing in from the top of the ankle opening.
Feeling pressure points during long runs
Adjust the lacing tension; the GORE-TEX Invisible Fit creates a tighter wrap, so you may need slightly looser laces than you would with traditional mesh shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Trabuco 14 GTX, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure you have a thumb's width of space at the front of the toe box to account for foot swelling during long runs.
- Cleaning: Remove excess mud with a soft-bristled brush after each run. If the shoes become heavily soiled, hand wash them with lukewarm water and a mild detergent.
- Drying: Air dry only. Do not place these shoes in a tumble dryer or near direct heat sources like radiators, as this can damage the GORE-TEX membrane and warp the foam cushioning.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the outsole materials.
