Asics GEL-Trabuco 11 trail running shoes: first impressions
With the new model of the GEL-Trabuco trail running shoe, Asics have gone for comfort and stability developing a shoe that’s well-suited for long runs over varied terrain. A well-cushioned midsole and 8mm drop makes these ideal for heel strikers looking for a bouncy ride with lots of protection against rocks underfoot. The uppers have surprisingly shallow walls for such a high stack, but we found the rock plate and geometry meant a more stable ride than meets the eye as well as a softer landing.
