Asics Trabuco 14 GTX Trainers - Brown - 8

While they can be used on tarmac, the aggressive lug pattern is optimized for soft and uneven trails. They will wear down faster and feel less comfortable on hard, flat surfaces compared to dedicated road shoes.

Use only a damp cloth and mild soap if needed. Never machine wash or tumble dry the shoes, as high heat will destroy the waterproof performance of the membrane.

Yes, the insoles are removable and can be swapped for orthotic or aftermarket insoles if you require specific arch support.

The Trabuco series generally fits true to size for most runners, though the reinforced upper may feel snugger than mesh-only trainers.

The GTX membrane is waterproof, but the shoe is not a diving boot. Water will enter from the top (the collar/ankle opening) if you submerge the shoe completely.

Ensure the water level on the trail does not exceed the collar height of the shoe and check for rips or debris trapped inside the gusseted tongue area.

This is a natural trade-off of the GORE-TEX membrane. Try using moisture-wicking synthetic running socks to help manage sweat better.

Ensure the outsole lugs are clear of dried, caked-on mud. Use a stiff brush after every session to maintain the integrity of the grip pattern.
