The TRABUCO™ Trail Shoe Guide

Two new styles just joined the ASICS trail running lineup: the TRABUCO™ 14 shoe and the TRABUCO MAX™ 5 shoe. Each trail shoe delivers lasting comfort and off-road traction, and we're here to help you pick the right one for your next adventure.

TRABUCO™ 14: Advanced grip for rocky terrain

The TRABUCO™ 14 shoe offers a lightweight, energized ride thanks to FF BLAST™ MAX foam, the same cushioning found in the NOVABLAST® 5 shoe. A protective plate in the forefoot acts as a shield against rocks and roots, and the sole is designed with ASICSGRIP™ technology for advanced traction. Compared to its predecessor, the TRABUCO™ 14 shoe also features a redesigned fit, designed for a more secure feeling in the midfoot and increased space in the toe box.

TRABUCO MAX™ 5: More cushioning for long distances

The TRABUCO MAX™ 5 shoe is designed for a more plush, cushioned running experience. With a higher stack height and more cushioning than the TRABUCO™ 14 shoe, it’s better suited for more predictable terrain—but ASICSGRIP™ technology is still there to give you confident off-road grip. A new water-repellant mesh upper helps prevent the shoe from retaining moisture, giving you lasting comfort (and dry socks) in wet conditions.
