ASICS - GEL-FUJITRABUCO SKY

I ran Laugavegur a couple of years ago. Amazing race just the the journey to the start blows your mind. I don’t remember it being muddy but there was running in packed ice and a few river crossings. I ran in Asics Fujitrabuco Skys, they are very minimal with deep wide grips. They were ideal for the hilly parts but there’s a lot of fast packed ground which they weren’t so great. The shoes I own now that I would use are Scott RC2 though speedcross would be good. Enjoy.

excited for the prototype aswell. the metafuji has been flying under the radar as has have fujispeeds, which are my go to for shorter stints.

Fit matters, as all the major brands produce some good trail runners. I used a Trabuco way back in the day and they were fine.

I like Asics Gel Trabuco. Comfortable, good traction, cushiony enough that I don't need to add inserts. I don't tear through shoes as fast as some others though, but they do seem durable to me.

Stability trail shoes aren’t so much of a thing because your foot falls are not the same on every step like on the road. There are shoes that have wide bases like the asics gel trabuco or topo mtn racer but they don’t have the same technology that stability road shoes have. There aren’t any either medial posts or guide rails to stop pronation. Even stability road shoes aren’t kind of not made much any more as there were a few studies that showed it did not help with the issues they were trying to solve. I work in a running specialty store and what we suggest to people who are looking for a stable platform to run trails on is a shoe with a wide base firm foam and possibly extra foam behind the heel like a trabuco.

I run in Brooks Glycerine on Road and Asics gel Trabuco on trails. Love the asics

ASICS Gel Trabuco. I love ‘em

I love my Gel Trabucos! Have the same colour👌

Topo if you have wide feet. I’ve had the Trabuco and the Trabuco Max (which were good) but it was only when I put on Topo shoes that my Morton’s neuroma symptoms disappeared.

ASICS Trabuco Max line is legit. Dan Green wore them for Cocodona 250. Trabuco Gel is good also for slightly more technical terrain.

I had Scott Supertrac RCs, Hoka Speedgoats and LaSportiva Bushidos before, last year I had the opportunity to take part in an Asics shoe test event and really liked them. I got a pair of Asics FujiLite 5s and really, really loved them. Ran over 600km in them last year and would say they are a wonderful versatile shoe. Used them in alpine terrain as well as chill forest trails, never had a Problem, was especially surprised with their sole/grip on wet trails. Would 100% recommend the FujiLites, i did not enjoy the other Asics trail shoes too much though, the Gel trabuco etc. felt weird for my taste...
