Gel Trabuco 13

An overpronator saw the Trabuco 13 foam collapse on the inner side after 220 km.

“I'm overpronator and the foam collapse on the inner side ( Trabuco 13 after 220km)”

Their first Trabuco 13 upper broke within 100 km and was replaced; they still like it for technical, long activities.

“Trabuco 13s upper is problematic. I have a replacement pair from Asics just 100km in my first pair.”

At 40 km and 2500 m up per week, the Trabuco 13 is comfortable and stable but lasts only 400-500 km before the mesh breaks.

“I’m a big fan of the Trabuco 12 and 13 - great comfort and stability but the durability is average to poor.”

After a 21 km third run in the Trabuco 13 on easy trails their legs were trashed, and they wonder if the shoe is harsh.

“Dis my 3rd run in these Friday (21km), fairly easy trails/some road running and my legs are abosutely trashed.”

The Trabuco 13 in US 13 felt too restrictive at the start of the toebox, so they returned it.

“I just received a set of ASICS Gel-Trabuco 13 in size US13 and I find them slightly too restrictive at the beginning of the toebox area”

At 200 km their Trabuco 13 is separating between midsole and upper in several places.

“Las trabuco 13, 200 km... y relajadas por varios puntos entre la media suela y el upper”

The Trabuco 13 is very comfortable but too wide for them to get a proper lockdown.

“It's very comfortable, however somehow I can't get a proper lockdown. It is simply too wide.”

First run in the Trabuco 13: very grippy and secure on rocky descents and mud, perfect firm cushioning, no hot spots; sized up half.

“Just finished my first run in the gel trabuco 13s. They were great! Very grippy, felt secure on rocky descents.”

Having owned the Trabuco 11, 12 and 13, they rate the 13 the best by far for comfort.

“I have had the Trabuco 11, 12 and now the 13. I would say that out of them all, the 13 is by the best in terms of comfort.”

Three-plus pairs of Trabuco 13 all broke in the same lower inner spot in under 150 km; ASICS admitted a defect and refunded twice.

“+ de 3 paires trabuco 13 et elles ont toutes casser au même endroit sur la partie intérieur inférieur avec moins de 150 km”

Tried four trail shoes and kept the Trabuco 13, preferring it to the slightly too squishy Peregrine 15.

“Peregrine and Trabuco were nearly identical in how I liked them but peregrine was a little too squishy for what I want in a trail shoe so I went with the Trabuco.”

A Speedgoat 5 fan didn't enjoy the Trabuco 13: its rock plate gives significantly less ground feel.

“I would recommend against the Trabuco 13 as it has a rock plate. Significantly less ground feel to the SG5. I didn’t enjoy it.”

With wide feet, the Trabuco 13 felt great at first but caused pain once running.

“I bought a pair of Trabuco 13, at first I felt great but when I started to run the isssues and pains started also.”

Tested the Trabuco 13 half a size up and found it very good on technical ground.

“On T13, very good on technical ground, while max 3 more on cushion and not so much on technical terrain especially if you have weak ankle.”
