FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for road running?

What is the heel-to-toe drop?
The Trabuco 14 has an 8mm drop.
Does this model include a rock plate?
Yes, it features an integrated anti-rock protection plate to shield your feet from sharp debris.
How heavy is the shoe?
The shoe weighs approximately 281 grams.
Is this shoe for neutral runners?
Yes, it is designed for runners with a neutral foot strike.
How should I clean my Trabuco 14s?
Hand wash with a soft brush and mild soap. Avoid the washing machine to protect the integrity of the cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort after long runs
Ensure your laces are not overtightened; the Trabuco 14 is designed to hug the foot without restricting circulation.
Accumulation of trail debris inside the shoe
Consider using trail gaiters if you are running in loose sand, scree, or heavy brush.
Excessive wear on the outsole
Limit use strictly to trail surfaces to prevent the lugs from eroding on concrete or road surfaces.
Pros and Cons

- Lightweight build prevents heavy feel over long miles

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Trabuco 14 trainers, keep them clean by removing mud or grit immediately after use with a soft brush. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the foam cushioning and adhesives. Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size for your foot shape to maximize the effectiveness of the support features. If you use custom orthotics, ensure they are compatible with the shoe's neutral platform before replacing the stock insole. Store in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight when not in use.
