Trabuco Max 2

I have the Trabuco Max 2 and it's a great shoe. I'm old and slow.

I use ASICS trabuco max 2, they aren't the latest model and that doesn't matter they are a fantastic trail shoe. Nice stack, super comfy and epic grip. With them being an older model you can get them for a good price esp in sales. And ASICS does £10 off for new customers too

I’ve done race to the stones twice. First time in Speedgoat 6 - which I hated and I pulled out at 50k due to foot issues. Went back the next year and did 100k in Trabuco Max 2.

My AISCS Trabuco Trail 2’s upper just ripped open on a root like it was paper. Opened the whole side of the shoe. Shame, since it has a great long-lasting sole with good grip, and one of the only shoes that are almost wide enough toe box fit.

My wide feet poked holes in both sides of both shoes, so I sealed them all with Shoe Goo. The tear happened on the very next hike, above the repair. There's a big gap in the market for wide toe boxes. People recommend Altras, but I don't want zero-drop and the 'nubs' on the inside heel of their Experience Wild Trails give me blisters. Maybe I should just keep buying Trabucos, but plaster them with Shoe Goo first.

I have a few different trail shoes that work in the mud: - Salomon speedcross (I think the 4): best I’ve tried but horrible on the road - new balance summit unknow v4: surprisingly good on mud, drain water well and can run ok on road. Sizing is a bit weird but if you can get the right fit I think they are a really good compromise for lots of terrains. Not super cushioned though Others: Nb hierro v7, asics trabucco max 2, North Face Enduris 4 (love these shoes by the way for everything other than deep mud) are ok on light mud but when it get really deep and thick don’t have the right lugs. All that being said, there is muddy trail and muddy trail - what are you really dealing with ?
