GEL-Trabuco Terra

Ik loop ook op Asics GT maar dan de 2000 versie. Op trails gebruik ik de Trabuco terra, maar vooral vanwege de Asics pasvorm, die sluit beter op mijn voeten aan (brede voorvoet) dan andere merken. Ik denk zelf dat overpronatie minder een issue is bij lopen op trails dan op de weg omdat de ondergrond sowieso niet vlak is, maar een beetje grip is inderdaad wel lekker.

I ran a road marathon and hiked the Camino Ingles in an old pair of Asics GEL-TRABUCO Terra and they were very comfortable. That was a few years ago so I'm not sure if anything has changed with the design.

Check into the Asics Gel-Trabuco series. I have been wearing these for both backcountry trails in Colorado, running on pavement, the gym, and on local smooth gravel trails. They are lightweight, flexible, with a grippy sole, and breathe well. They are unlikely to hold up for extended backpacking, though. But for general hiking and trail running, they excel. Be aware that you are going to see the soles wear sooner than some of the hikers on the list you gave. Trade-offs. I have Goretex hikers as well and I can tell you that they definitely are hotter and your feet will sweat in them. I have them in cold and warm weather models. They are good in cooler mountain environments and where you might hike in spongy, moist lowlands, and keep your feet from getting soaked from morning dews. Again, trade-offs.

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.

ASICS Gel Trabuco. I love ‘em

Asics GT-2000 one day, and Asics Gel-Trabuco the next depending on itinerary (which proved priceless in Itsukushima since I could walk all over and not get wet). I've tried many brands of running shoes and Asics are the ones I typically have less issues with finding a pair that feels comfortable. My podiatrist swears by Hoka Cliftons, but they felt way too tight for my feet.
