The shoe at a glance.

The ASICS TRABUCO 14 is an all-purpose trail trainer that combines FF BLAST MAX cushioning, ASICSGRIP traction and a protective rock plate for mixed and technical routes. Its balanced feel, roomier forefoot and closer midfoot hold make it worth considering for steady trail mileage. The tradeoffs are a relatively stiff, heavy build and a low collar that can let debris inside. The standard version already has a wide-feeling fit, but a separate current wide listing is not verified here, so judge the actual fit rather than the label alone.
