I just bought Gel Trabuco 9 and I just love the way they feel. They feel custom made for my feet. I hope they are durable and if they still feel great after some runs I want to buy the gtx also. I have overpronation and my knees will punish me if I am not very careful and picky with my running shoes.
That's awesome Sariel, really glad you've found a shoe that works for you! Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏

Another great review! Wanna know, what I think is the greatest? You pay a lot of attention to the running experience in every model, specifically positive things and elaborating negative things and issues, which helps to inform whether it's relevant for each one of us, viewers. Keep it up, looking for more shoe reviews to come! Cheers from snow covered Prague!
Cheers Vlad that's really appreciated! I'm so glad you find the reviews helpful. I know running shoes are super personal but we try and give as much information as we can in our reviews to help our viewers. I think there's a lot of very vague reviews on TH-cam that don't really tell you a lot about the shoes or their performance. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
You are so inspirational Loyd. As a novice runner (completed C25K pre Christmas & 3.1 miles every day in Red January) I am longing to do more. Every one of your videos encourages me 👍
Thanks for the kind words Lizzie it's really appreciated 🙏 I'm really glad you're getting inspiration from the content on the channel but remember to build up gradually and don't do to much to soon. That way you'll have longevity in the amazing sport of running 😊 Stay safe and keep on running! 🏃♀️
Hi Loyd. Sound rationale for dropping the shoe miles pre-review. Makes sense! We know you will be able to make a fair assessment under the new approach. Sorry you didn't get to run AoA this year. Cheers
Cheers Richard that's really appreciated 🙏 Yeap such a shame about the AoA but if I'm honest I might have struggled with the calf issues I've been having 🤔 Thanks for watching!
Good in-depth review. I certainly think you can make a fair and honest assessment of a shoe after running 30 miles in it, and if you dropping the miles means more videos, I'm all for it. 👍 I was thinking the Trabuco looked a little similar to the Saucony Peregrine, and we know how much you love that shoe.
Thanks for the support Stuart and lowering the mileage will definitely allow us to do more shoe reviews which can only be a good thing 😊 The GEL-TRABUCO is a bit similar to the Peregrine 10, I'd say the Peregrine feels a bit more nimble on technical trails and I get a really got lock down in the Peregrine as well👍 Thanks for watching 🙏
@@Run4Adventure is the Trabuco more cushioned than the Peregrine? Looking for a shoe to complement the peregrine for easy days, and distances greater than half marathon. How would it compare to the Xodus 10?
Many years ago Asics made a brilliant trail shoe, the Trail Attack. The early versions were grippy and aggressive, and made you want to run fast on technical trails. Unfortunately, each year's new model got heavier and clunkier, totally losing its soul. Great review! This looks like a pretty solid shoe. Maybe Asics is getting their trail mojo back.
Yeap I think Asics definitely lost their way for a while Kent and didn't make any innovation and everything got a bit dated! 😕 But they've made a lot of changes and some of their shoes actually excit me now. I think we'll see some pretty good kit from the brand this year 👍 Thanks for watching and thanks for your awesome support of the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
I think the shoe looks awesome!! However, i am concerned about the narrowness. After really enjoying the Novablast and Glideride i would be very willing to try out a trail offering from Asics. Thanks for the info.
That's awesome Jack 😊 If you've enjoyed their road shoes I'd definitely try a pair of their trail shoes on if you can 👍 Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
Topo's would give you a lot more width in the toe compared to the GEL-TRABUCO 9 👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
just tried them, they felt super soft. Like slippers. More cushion than rebound. But what really stymied the purchase was how unstable they felt ‘on edge’. Too squishy around the edges, i.e. when not landing square - i felt
To Soft! What trail shoe would you normally run in? 🤔 I actually found it felt pretty stable and I don't think it feels that soft underfoot but I do spend a lot of time in deeply cushioned trail shoes. Sorry to hear they didn't work out for you but thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏😊
It's a pretty good allrounder Ryan! I was surprised how grippy the out sole was. Really glad you're enjoying your shoes and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏😊
The 8's and 9's get holes at the big toe really quick, within 3 months, the 10's have rubber up around the toes this time, my 10s are 2 months old and no hole
I didn't have any issues with going through the toe? Infact I've never ever done that on a running shoe! I'm glad the 10's aren't doing the same thing and they're more durable. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
Just bought these. I was worried about the width but forefoot width for me is more relaxed than cascadia 14. Midfoot width is slimmer. The asics fit me well, way more room than the speedgoats. Definitely more lively than cascadia or torrent
Hi There, Great video and thanks for the honest in-depth review. Always loved Asics shoes and interested in the Trabuco 9's (see Asics have just released the 10s) or the Trabuco Terra's. What's the difference between the two - 9's vs Terra's? Is it to do with the neutral pronation vs over-pronation? Could you wear the Trabuco's 9's even if you don't over-pronate on your runs?
Thanks Cameron, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I haven't run in the Terra's before so it's hard to say what the differences are. You could definitely run in the Trabuco 9. When it comes to the support it's very minimal, it's still really a neutral shoe. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Thumbs up on the background. Looks great! Haha prior to your review, I was wondering why the tongue was so unusually long on this shoe. Cheeky indeed. Great review as always
Hi Loyd. Its pretty easy to solve one of your cons with this shoe, the loose heal. I've noticed in your videos, that you never use the extra holes in the lacing system for that good heal lock. Its very simple and normally very effective. I have a very narrow heal and this trick with the heal lock always works. It gives an excellent hold on your heal.
I've been running all my life and I worked in running shoe retail for 10 years, I know all about the runners knot but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I've tried it many times on shoes in the past that haven't fitted me right and all that's happened is I've ended up hurting the top of my foot. I really don't find it comfortable at all Jan 👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
Your reviews are very in-depth. I have a pair of the fujitrabuco pro. I like them a lot they are quite lightweight compared to the trabuco 9. Will you be reviewing the trabuco max?. that midsole looks like a Hoka style ride.
Thanks Claire 😊 Probably not unfortunately. I was torn between the two shoes but I went for the standard version. I'd be worried about having the same heel issue in the Max version, plus it gets pretty expensive buying all these shoes so I have to pick and choose carefully when it comes to the shoes I review. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Good review! I'm just thinking about newest trabuco if it's good or bad. Btw, your socks in the video look so nice. What brand are they and where can I get them?
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video 😊 The sock are by Stance, they make some awesome sock. Lots of bright and cool designs to choose from! Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Hi Lloyd. Loving the reviews! Any chance we could get a review of the Asics Fuji Lite 2? It looks like Asics have really bumped up their game this year. The fuji lite 2 looks like a great lightweight all rounder that could compete with the likes of the Hoka Torrent 2 and dare I say- possibly dethrone the Peregrine 10’s? 😬
The Fuji Lite 2 does look like an interesting shoe and Asics have definitely upped their game over the last couple of years! Their shoe where using really old technology and they where getting left behind. I'll see what I can do about a review but we are super busy at the channel already! 😬 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Hi Loyd, great review as always. Maybe something to consider for future reviews is how 'green' the shoe is? Does it use recycled materials? Is the packaging stripped back / can it be recycled? Are the materials / glues vegan friendly? What's the manufactures approach to being a 'green' company? I think increasingly runners are taking these type of things into consideration when making shoe purchases.
A really good point Ashling 👍 This is definitely something runners and brands are thinking more about, which is a great thing! I'll be reviewing the Index 01 from Salomon soon hopefully, which is a really exciting running shoe being fully recyclable. Once the shoe has done its mileage you send it back to Salomon and it gets recycled into Salomon ski boots 👍 Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Hi there good video here. How does this shoe compare to the gt 2000 trail shoe as I don't want a heavy shoe. I'm guessing the gtx model of the trabuco 9 is really heavy?? Which I've bought and on its way now. I need it for cross country and trail.
The GT 2000 trail is pretty much a road shoe with a slightly different outsole. It really doesn't look like it's got much grip! The Trabuco would definitely be the better option, especially if you are going to use it for cross country 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Trabuco 7 & 8 have a pretty wide toe box, strange that they narrowed them down. And even stranger that now they lost the lockdown the previous version has.
Yeap it definitely doesn't have a wide toe box anymore Dimitris. As far as the heel issue, obviously that's for my foot shape it might not happen for everyone 🤔 Shoe fit is so personal to each runner! Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed it 🙏
Great video. I have been running for years in the woods using my normal road shoes, including in wet and sometimes snowy conditions. After a terrible winter I am finally considering getting waterproof trail shoes. My go to brand is Asics and I found your review very helpful. Do you know how this shoe compares to the Gel Fujitrabuco? The Fuji seems to have much deeper lugs. I am wondering how the Fujitrabuco performance and comfort compares to the Gel Trabuco. Would be a great follow up video, or if you're aware of a good comparison video please let me know.
I'm pretty sure the Fuji was a more stripped back shoe, less depth of cushioning and a deeper, more aggressive lug. I'd say the Gel trabuco is a better allrounder than the Fuji, not as aggressive in the outsole and softer underfoot 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
HI Lloyd, great review. I have a couple questions. How would you say the narrow fit of the Trabuco-9 compares to Kayano 26? My Kayanos leave quite a bit of room for comfort in the toebox and are a perfect fit elsewhere. And how would you rate the aggression of the outsole for obstacle course running, in varying terrains (sand, mud, clay, gravel), that requires extremely hard stops and stops? I wear Inov8 mudclaws for that, but their fit is extremely narrow for my comfort and need to change them out. I don't have a retailer near me that has Trabuco's for me to physically inspect, so looking for as much help as possible. I am considering Salomon Speedcross's as a replacement to my Inov8's, however, I'm very particular to the Asics brand line. With that being said, is the grip of the outsole enough to compare to the Speedcross's. Thanks a bunch, and love the video reviews. ~Jeff
Hi Jeff I'd say if the kayano fits you well the GEL-TRABUCO should be fine 👍 The grip is really good on the GEL-TRABUCO but its not got the depth of a mudclaw, that's a very different shoe. The mudclaw is a soft ground trail shoe, specifically designed to run in boggy, muddy conditions. Where as the GEL-TRABUCO is more of an allrounder. If you do go for a Salomon shoe I'd avoid the Speedcross. After running in a mudclaw the Speedcross would feel pretty bulky and high on the heel off set, maybe have a look at the Salomon Wildcross. The Wildcross is a much better shoe, it has the same outsole as the Speedcross but it's a lot more responsive. There's a review of the Wildcross on the channel if that helps 👍 Thanks for watching and I hope you find a shoe 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thanks a ton Lloyd! Appreciate the ultra fast feedback. And thank you lots on the speedcross advice. I’ve avoided them over the years but was getting drawn to them after my second pair of mudclaws missed the mark. I think the Trabuco will be a go for me after your review. Thanks again!
Got them in an online sale for 50 Euro, couldn't resist, but I haven't got them yet, I am not a trail runner but a power walker I'm wondering are they any good on the path, I too have to put up with "weather" (Irish) thanks for the review
I personally would go for the GEL-TRABUCO 9 because the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor is a lot heavier! I think the Asics shoe is the better shoe out of the two 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
I have the Gel Trabuco 9 GTX which I presume is the same shape and I would not describe the toe box as narrow at all. I run in Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 2E width on the road for my wide feet, and they have a very similar fit for me.
I haven't tried the GTX shoe but I should imagine they are the same shoe just with a waterproof membrane. Or maybe Asics have made it wider to take the membrane. I've worked in the running shoe industry for a lot of years now and over those years if ordered in and fitted a lot of runners in Brooks Adrenaline GTS (wide 2E) shoes and I can definitely say my pair of GEL-TRABUCO 9's are way narrower than a width fit in a Brooks GTS! I've got a narrow foot shape and there would be no way I could run in a 2E Brooks shoe especially a GTS that's pretty wide on a standard fit 👍 But that's running shoes, it's so personal and we all feel shoes on a different way. Thanks for watching the review and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
I just bought Gel Trabuco 9 and I just love the way they feel. They feel custom made for my feet. I hope they are durable and if they still feel great after some runs I want to buy the gtx also. I have overpronation and my knees will punish me if I am not very careful and picky with my running shoes.
@@SarielSol That's great to hear Sariel! It's always good when you find that shoe that fits perfectly, it always feels awesome to run in 👌 Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Thanks Sean 👍 Yeap the Peregrine 10's would definitely come out on top against the GEL-TRABUCO 9 but it definitely preformed better than I thought it would 😊
Great shoes asics, im never bored wit this brand.. Maybe bcoz, Other patterns are different for each model.. Running shoes, trail... Got 4 shoes brand asics... Not like hoka almost the same pattern
I got the 8's for a huge discount just now . Haven't found any english review about the 8 .. the 9 sounds ok . I'm gonna start trails so no need get something to expensive directly j suppose. We gonna try and see what happens
That's great Fabian and welcome to the world of trail running! 😊 I think the 8's will make a good first trail shoe so good luck with it and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
I'm not a lover of the Salomon Speedcross if I'm honest Atul 😔 I'd say go for the ASICS shoe, more comfortable and better levels of grip on a mix of terrain 👍 Hope thus helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Thank you for you quick reply. I will go for ASICS this time, will update here in few months. Keep making amazing videos. Love from Indian Himalayas
@@Run4Adventure Trail running is a new concept here. People prefer hiking. Most of the trails here are quite raw and on the steeper side. You can check out videos on my profile too. I hope you'll like. Cheers. th-cam.com/video/ALIqd0lFJss/w-d-xo.html
Some trail running shoes work really well on that type of surface Natalie. I used play a lot of hockey and quite a few of the players wore them 👍 Thanks for watching 🙏
It would be fine Kristian 👍 It's got a good level of cushioning and support, you've also got a rock plate under the forefoot for a bit of added protection 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
It's definitely an 8mm off set Gary. Are you sure you're not getting it mixed up with the MAX version of this shoe, that's a 5mm off set 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏
I went for a uk9.5 and the lenght is perfect. I take a uk9.5 in most of my shoes so I'd say it's true to size 😊 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
I was actually quite surprised how the shoe ran! If I didn't have that slight slippage in the heel it would have scored a lot higher 👍 The grip of the outsole was really impressive which was a big surprise! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Hi Alexandre I pretty sure they've just dropped the 'Fuji' out of the name of the shoe and this is the new version 👍 Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
I haven't run in the Max version of the shoe so it's hard got me to say? I've heard good and bad feedback about the shoe 🤔 Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated, sorry I couldn't be more helpful 🙏
I've always thought the same about their shoes Sean but they have made some big changes last year. They've now got some pretty interesting shoes in their line up 👍 Thanks for watching 🙏
Hi Daniel I personally would go and get some treatment. Maybe see a sport physio or sports massage therapist and try to find out what's causing your calfs to go. Once you know what's causing it you can get things in place to deal with the problem 👍 I hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
The Gel Venture is way less developed Lionel. It's just an entry level trainer, what they call a "mock up" it looks very similar but it hasn't had the level of testing or development that the Gel Trabuco has had, hence the big price difference 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
@@andrewryder1319 I don't like Speedboats, I'm scared of the water Andrew! 😂 I know you mean Speedgoats really. I've ran a lot of miles in Speedgoats over the years, loved the SG3's but not so keen on the SG4's 😔
They are pretty similar in lots of ways but the GEL-TRABUCO 9 definitely has better grip on the outsole 👍 Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure The Max version locks in the heal with no issues. I tried everything to get the same in the regular version, but no luck. It's a great shoe and was so hoping it would work.
Nice review there Loyd. Your shoe reviews are very good and informative but I take all reviews with a very large pinch of salt as they’re so so subjective. I used to use this shoe a lot for trails up to about 2013-4 but then it became the Fuji Gel Trabuco rather than just the Asics Trabuco and it changed for the worst. Can I also just mention that your high opinion about the Arc is obviously because you’re based down there in Cornwall but I would have to say that the event for the cost is way way too high considering its mostly an event that needs self support. Ive done cheaper events that are more scenic, well supported and amazing in every other way for half the cost of entry.
Thanks Phil, I'm glad you're enjoying our reviews 👍 We put a lot of time and effort into them and try to make them as informative as possible. I totally agree, of course you have to take shoe reviews with a pinch of salt as it just my opinion on a shoe 👍 Everyone's foot shape is different, every shoe shapes up differently and everyone runs differently. So what suits me won't suit everyone but hopefully it gives viewers a bit of information about the products on the market that maybe they weren't aware of 👍 As far as my opinion of the AoA that's just my opinion of the race. I'm not saying eryone has to love the race like me. Of course I have a high opinion of the race because the route is on my training ground, how often do you get to run 100 miles on a route you know so well!? 😊 I was wondering, have you run the Arc before? The route is absolutely stunning and challenging, especially with the race being in winter. Again I'm not saying it's the most stunning route of any race and I obviously know there's some other just as amazing races out there! 👍 When you mention support, yes the check points are spread out but when you get to them the support is amazing from the Arc angels. I'm sure last year there was just over 200 runners and 165 Arc Angels helping out the runners, I think that quite a bit of support! 😊 Also there's a lot of mobile support crews out on the route to look after any runners that need help in between the check points. I agree it's not the cheapest race out there but it's obviously got something about it because there's runners tripping over themselves to enter it every year. Having run it 4 times I still think it's an awesome event and I will continue to look forward to the Arc weekend every year. Maybe if you haven't run it before you should give it a go one year but that's just my opinion 😊 Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Cheers Loyd. Love your reviews and info on all things running ;-) Yes I have tried my luck with the Arc a couple of times and its one beast thats for sure :-). For someone who has normally not too many issues with the 100 mile distance this one event has given me all sorts of problems. Its just my opinion I know but I think they're too tight on their cut offs and as its not easy for me to get down to Cornwall and train on the paths its a race that I think suits locals or people that can get down there to train better so not sure if I'll ever give it another go, but you never know 😉The first time i tried, I tried with no support and as I was chasing the cut offs by the time I got to the very distanced checkpoints there was nothing left, food wise. The second attempt I did have a support guy but he missed a coupe of the places he was supposed to meet so I ended up having much the same issue. Didn't see or get much support from anyone else along the way so not sure what experiences you've had in the past but they weren't mine. Keep the good work going on your channel though, its one of the best. I'll be sure to say hi if I ever make it back down for the Arc 👍
@@Run4Adventure what an actual shithouse u are, you are running off the mouth. Bit of advice don't antagonise someone who's already liked and commented on your video. I watched your review and those questions were not addressed. I am not a fucking shoe expert.
i just bought the ASICS GEL-TRABUCO 9, been wearing it for 1,5 months, find out the material asics used in this model is so low quality, i do not recommended for long term use. really disappointed with ASICS GEL-TRABUCO 9.
Sorry to hear this Tjendra 😔 Mine are still holding up well to mileage? If you only had them for a month and a half, have you contacted ASICS to see if they can help? Obviously a running shoe should last a lot longer than that so maybe there's a fault? 🤔 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel, hope you get it sorted out 🙏
@@Run4Adventure i would like to share pictures for you of my ASICS GEL-TRABUCO 9, but in this youtube comments can not share pictures, so well i already contacted the ASICS Indonesia Official store, but from their reply was "I apologize. For this matter, it is adjusted to daily use, yes, it can affect the quality of the product"...for only 1,5 months with no more than 300 km usage...i felt very disappointed.
It's definitely not a wide shoe, obviously width depends on your foot shape. To be fair the Bushido is a narrow shoe! Did you go up in size in the La Sportiva shoe because they size up super small 👍
@@Run4Adventure Yes, maybe it was my mistake with la sportiva brand. La sportiva akasha was my first choice, but they didn't have my size on sale so I ordered one pair of la sportiva akyra and one pair bushido 2, intending to keep the one i like more. Both pairs were too small so i had to return them. I didn't like akyra because it was too stiff so i ordered another bushido 2, a size up. This one was good lengthwise, but still too narrow. So, considering that i liked all the road asics that i had and ordered this trabuco. Your review convinced me to give them a try and they feel great until now. So, thank you.
Yeap La Sportiva are pretty stiff in the midfoot! I've never really got on with their shoes. I've always found them a bit stiff and heavy. The only shoe I've like from them is the Helios. It's more of a summer trail shoe but it's super comfortable, lightweight and flexible. Unfortunately it is still narrow 👍
They've been fine so far! Obviously in Cornwall it doesn't really get that cold so it depends how cold you mean Peter 🤔 If it's just your standard British winter then they'll be fine. Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
Out of the ATR and the Speedgoat I'd definitely pick the Speedgoat 👍 The ATR is a nothing shoe, the grips not good enough on the trails and it doesn't run that well on the road!? 🤔 Hope this helps Daniel and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
I bought ASICS Gel Trabuco-9 sneakers one month ago. I didn't run and 50 kilometers as the sneakers began to tear. I don't think it's acceptable for track sneakers of such a well-known brand as ASICS.
That's not good enough! I've had no issues with mine at all 🤔 I would definitely contact the shop you bought them from if the shoes split so soon, I'm sure they'll do something about it 👍 Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
I only walk in mine and mine have fallen apart in the space of a couple of months. The material in the uppers have torn on both shoes by the ball joint, little toe on the sides and on the big toe on the top. Never had a problem with Aciscs before, have now!
Man, run in it once and if it doesn't suit you, send to NZ and I'll eat that shoe if anyone here expected you to keep running in it. Absolutely no point injuring yourself trying. JMHO.
It depends if you like a lot of cushioning in your trail shoes? If you do go for the max 👍 If you want more ground feel and connection then the standard shoes is best. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏
I just bought Gel Trabuco 9 and I just love the way they feel. They feel custom made for my feet. I hope they are durable and if they still feel great after some runs I want to buy the gtx also. I have overpronation and my knees will punish me if I am not very careful and picky with my running shoes.

It always feels better watching a running shoe video after doing a run.
Thanks for watching Grant, hope you had a great run 🙏
I absolutely love these shoes, especially on steep terrain.
It's a pretty good allrounder Ryan! I was surprised how grippy the out sole was. Really glad you're enjoying your shoes and thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏😊
The 8's and 9's get holes at the big toe really quick, within 3 months, the 10's have rubber up around the toes this time, my 10s are 2 months old and no hole
I didn't have any issues with going through the toe? Infact I've never ever done that on a running shoe! I'm glad the 10's aren't doing the same thing and they're more durable. Thanks for watching 🙏😊
Just bought these. I was worried about the width but forefoot width for me is more relaxed than cascadia 14. Midfoot width is slimmer. The asics fit me well, way more room than the speedgoats. Definitely more lively than cascadia or torrent
Really glad that you're enjoying your shoes and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
Hi There, Great video and thanks for the honest in-depth review.
Always loved Asics shoes and interested in the Trabuco 9's (see Asics have just released the 10s) or the Trabuco Terra's. What's the difference between the two - 9's vs Terra's? Is it to do with the neutral pronation vs over-pronation? Could you wear the Trabuco's 9's even if you don't over-pronate on your runs?
Thanks Cameron, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I haven't run in the Terra's before so it's hard to say what the differences are. You could definitely run in the Trabuco 9. When it comes to the support it's very minimal, it's still really a neutral shoe. Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏😊
Thumbs up on the background. Looks great! Haha prior to your review, I was wondering why the tongue was so unusually long on this shoe. Cheeky indeed. Great review as always
Thanks Jung I'm glad you like it! Thanks for watching and your great support as always 🙏
Hi Loyd. Its pretty easy to solve one of your cons with this shoe, the loose heal. I've noticed in your videos, that you never use the extra holes in the lacing system for that good heal lock. Its very simple and normally very effective. I have a very narrow heal and this trick with the heal lock always works. It gives an excellent hold on your heal.
I've been running all my life and I worked in running shoe retail for 10 years, I know all about the runners knot but unfortunately it doesn't work for me. I've tried it many times on shoes in the past that haven't fitted me right and all that's happened is I've ended up hurting the top of my foot. I really don't find it comfortable at all Jan 👍
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏😊
@@Run4Adventure Thank you for teaching me the name, runners knot. And of course did you know all about that little trick 🙂
@@jansommerlund5497 No worries Jan, thanks so much for supporting the channel and stay safe and keep on running 🙏😊
Your reviews are very in-depth. I have a pair of the fujitrabuco pro. I like them a lot they are quite lightweight compared to the trabuco 9. Will you be reviewing the trabuco max?. that midsole looks like a Hoka style ride.
The grip of fujitrabuco pro is insane
Thanks Claire 😊
Probably not unfortunately. I was torn between the two shoes but I went for the standard version. I'd be worried about having the same heel issue in the Max version, plus it gets pretty expensive buying all these shoes so I have to pick and choose carefully when it comes to the shoes I review. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure completely understand thanks for replying.
Good review! I'm just thinking about newest trabuco if it's good or bad. Btw, your socks in the video look so nice. What brand are they and where can I get them?
Thanks very much, really glad you enjoyed the video 😊
The sock are by Stance, they make some awesome sock. Lots of bright and cool designs to choose from! Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Hi Lloyd. Loving the reviews! Any chance we could get a review of the Asics Fuji Lite 2? It looks like Asics have really bumped up their game this year. The fuji lite 2 looks like a great lightweight all rounder that could compete with the likes of the Hoka Torrent 2 and dare I say- possibly dethrone the Peregrine 10’s? 😬
The Fuji Lite 2 does look like an interesting shoe and Asics have definitely upped their game over the last couple of years! Their shoe where using really old technology and they where getting left behind. I'll see what I can do about a review but we are super busy at the channel already! 😬
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's appreciated 🙏
Hi Loyd, great review as always. Maybe something to consider for future reviews is how 'green' the shoe is? Does it use recycled materials? Is the packaging stripped back / can it be recycled? Are the materials / glues vegan friendly? What's the manufactures approach to being a 'green' company? I think increasingly runners are taking these type of things into consideration when making shoe purchases.
A really good point Ashling 👍
This is definitely something runners and brands are thinking more about, which is a great thing! I'll be reviewing the Index 01 from Salomon soon hopefully, which is a really exciting running shoe being fully recyclable. Once the shoe has done its mileage you send it back to Salomon and it gets recycled into Salomon ski boots 👍
Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
Good idea 👍
Hi there good video here. How does this shoe compare to the gt 2000 trail shoe as I don't want a heavy shoe. I'm guessing the gtx model of the trabuco 9 is really heavy?? Which I've bought and on its way now. I need it for cross country and trail.
The GT 2000 trail is pretty much a road shoe with a slightly different outsole. It really doesn't look like it's got much grip! The Trabuco would definitely be the better option, especially if you are going to use it for cross country 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
So good a shoe the video got a like during the preview countdown 😝
😂😂😂
Trabuco 7 & 8 have a pretty wide toe box, strange that they narrowed them down. And even stranger that now they lost the lockdown the previous version has.
Yeap it definitely doesn't have a wide toe box anymore Dimitris. As far as the heel issue, obviously that's for my foot shape it might not happen for everyone 🤔
Shoe fit is so personal to each runner! Thanks for watching the channel I hope you enjoyed it 🙏
Great video. I have been running for years in the woods using my normal road shoes, including in wet and sometimes snowy conditions. After a terrible winter I am finally considering getting waterproof trail shoes. My go to brand is Asics and I found your review very helpful.
Do you know how this shoe compares to the Gel Fujitrabuco? The Fuji seems to have much deeper lugs. I am wondering how the Fujitrabuco performance and comfort compares to the Gel Trabuco. Would be a great follow up video, or if you're aware of a good comparison video please let me know.
I'm pretty sure the Fuji was a more stripped back shoe, less depth of cushioning and a deeper, more aggressive lug. I'd say the Gel trabuco is a better allrounder than the Fuji, not as aggressive in the outsole and softer underfoot 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Definitely helps. Count me as a new subscriber!
Glad it helped and thanks for the sub it's really appreciated 🙏
HI Lloyd, great review. I have a couple questions. How would you say the narrow fit of the Trabuco-9 compares to Kayano 26? My Kayanos leave quite a bit of room for comfort in the toebox and are a perfect fit elsewhere. And how would you rate the aggression of the outsole for obstacle course running, in varying terrains (sand, mud, clay, gravel), that requires extremely hard stops and stops? I wear Inov8 mudclaws for that, but their fit is extremely narrow for my comfort and need to change them out. I don't have a retailer near me that has Trabuco's for me to physically inspect, so looking for as much help as possible. I am considering Salomon Speedcross's as a replacement to my Inov8's, however, I'm very particular to the Asics brand line. With that being said, is the grip of the outsole enough to compare to the Speedcross's. Thanks a bunch, and love the video reviews. ~Jeff
Hi Jeff
I'd say if the kayano fits you well the GEL-TRABUCO should be fine 👍
The grip is really good on the GEL-TRABUCO but its not got the depth of a mudclaw, that's a very different shoe. The mudclaw is a soft ground trail shoe, specifically designed to run in boggy, muddy conditions. Where as the GEL-TRABUCO is more of an allrounder. If you do go for a Salomon shoe I'd avoid the Speedcross. After running in a mudclaw the Speedcross would feel pretty bulky and high on the heel off set, maybe have a look at the Salomon Wildcross. The Wildcross is a much better shoe, it has the same outsole as the Speedcross but it's a lot more responsive. There's a review of the Wildcross on the channel if that helps 👍
Thanks for watching and I hope you find a shoe 🙏
@@Run4Adventure thanks a ton Lloyd! Appreciate the ultra fast feedback. And thank you lots on the speedcross advice. I’ve avoided them over the years but was getting drawn to them after my second pair of mudclaws missed the mark. I think the Trabuco will be a go for me after your review. Thanks again!
@@alracandffej No worries Jeff 👍
Got them in an online sale for 50 Euro, couldn't resist, but I haven't got them yet, I am not a trail runner but a power walker I'm wondering are they any good on the path, I too have to put up with "weather" (Irish) thanks for the review
No problem John, thanks for watching. That's a total bargain, well done 👍😊
are they good for hiking in summer hot conditions? or better something like La sportiva ultra raptor?
I personally would go for the GEL-TRABUCO 9 because the La Sportiva Ultra Raptor is a lot heavier! I think the Asics shoe is the better shoe out of the two 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Super helpful review. Would of loved to have tried this shoe though with me having a very broad foot I just don’t think it would be doable.
Really glad you found the review helpful and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🙏
I have the Gel Trabuco 9 GTX which I presume is the same shape and I would not describe the toe box as narrow at all. I run in Brooks Adrenaline GTS 20 2E width on the road for my wide feet, and they have a very similar fit for me.
I haven't tried the GTX shoe but I should imagine they are the same shoe just with a waterproof membrane. Or maybe Asics have made it wider to take the membrane. I've worked in the running shoe industry for a lot of years now and over those years if ordered in and fitted a lot of runners in Brooks Adrenaline GTS (wide 2E) shoes and I can definitely say my pair of GEL-TRABUCO 9's are way narrower than a width fit in a Brooks GTS! I've got a narrow foot shape and there would be no way I could run in a 2E Brooks shoe especially a GTS that's pretty wide on a standard fit 👍
But that's running shoes, it's so personal and we all feel shoes on a different way. Thanks for watching the review and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
I just bought Gel Trabuco 9 and I just love the way they feel. They feel custom made for my feet. I hope they are durable and if they still feel great after some runs I want to buy the gtx also. I have overpronation and my knees will punish me if I am not very careful and picky with my running shoes.
@@SarielSol
That's great to hear Sariel! It's always good when you find that shoe that fits perfectly, it always feels awesome to run in 👌

Great review. Sounds like the Peregrines still beat them out for me.
Thanks Sean 👍
Yeap the Peregrine 10's would definitely come out on top against the GEL-TRABUCO 9 but it definitely preformed better than I thought it would 😊
How do you size it? A little bit bigger than normal shoes or you can go with the same size?
I went with my usual uk9.5 and they fitted fine so I'd say they true to size. Hope this helps Andrea and thanks for watching the channel 🙏😊

@@Run4Adventure yeah I enjoyed it ! Very informative. And thanks for the welcome
Should i go for it or Salomon speedcross 4? What will be better on trails above tree line? (Key point: durability and comfort)
I'm not a lover of the Salomon Speedcross if I'm honest Atul 😔
I'd say go for the ASICS shoe, more comfortable and better levels of grip on a mix of terrain 👍
Hope thus helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Thank you for you quick reply. I will go for ASICS this time, will update here in few months. Keep making amazing videos. Love from Indian Himalayas

How would this be for an ultra distance shoe? Adequate cushion and support?
It would be fine Kristian 👍
It's got a good level of cushioning and support, you've also got a rock plate under the forefoot for a bit of added protection 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏
Many reviews are saying this is a 5mm drop shoe but according to the Asics Website, it's an 8mm drop.... obviously, Asics is correct, yeah?
It's definitely an 8mm off set Gary. Are you sure you're not getting it mixed up with the MAX version of this shoe, that's a 5mm off set 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching 🙏
I'm not sure what size I would need. Most brands I'm a UK12. Salomon and Hoka a UK12.5. I usually look at the CM size which is 31cm for me.
I went for a uk9.5 and the lenght is perfect. I take a uk9.5 in most of my shoes so I'd say it's true to size 😊
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel it's appreciated 🙏
I’ve run in both the Trabuco 6 and 8, love them both, I actually find them better to run in than my Gel Kayano 27’s.
I was actually quite surprised how the shoe ran! If I didn't have that slight slippage in the heel it would have scored a lot higher 👍
The grip of the outsole was really impressive which was a big surprise!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure I was kind of hoping you would hate it and want to give it away 😜🤣🤣
Is it true that where there is a net, they tear quickly?

Is this the "new version" of the Fujitrabuco 8? Did they just lose the Fuji from the fujitrabuco or is it another shoe?
Hi Alexandre
I pretty sure they've just dropped the 'Fuji' out of the name of the shoe and this is the new version 👍
Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated 🙏
I wear size 9 should I buy size 10,online purchase
Is that a uk9 in a running shoe or an everyday shoe? 🤔
What do you think of the asics Trabuco Max??
I haven't run in the Max version of the shoe so it's hard got me to say?
I've heard good and bad feedback about the shoe 🤔
Thanks for watching the channel it's really appreciated, sorry I couldn't be more helpful 🙏
I find asics a little bit clunky (if that's a word) but I quite like them nonetheless. Although I wouldn't buy another pair, each to their own though.
I've always thought the same about their shoes Sean but they have made some big changes last year. They've now got some pretty interesting shoes in their line up 👍

My calf's Go every time about 5 miles in what do you do to sort it
Hi Daniel
I personally would go and get some treatment. Maybe see a sport physio or sports massage therapist and try to find out what's causing your calfs to go. Once you know what's causing it you can get things in place to deal with the problem 👍

What is the difference between ASICS Gel-Trabuco and the Gel-Venture?
The Gel Venture is way less developed Lionel. It's just an entry level trainer, what they call a "mock up" it looks very similar but it hasn't had the level of testing or development that the Gel Trabuco has had, hence the big price difference 👍
Hope this helps and thanks for watching the channel 🙏

Just sent these back due to heals slipping. Otherwise it is a ideal shoe. I have the Max version and no issues with heal lock down at all.
Sorry to hear that Jeff! 😕
It's strange that the MAX version is ok but the standard version isn't because they have very similar uppers? 🤔
@@Run4Adventure The Max version locks in the heal with no issues. I tried everything to get the same in the regular version, but no luck. It's a great shoe and was so hoping it would work.
@@jeffloflin6316
That's a shame Jeff, especially if you like the max version 😕
Nice review there Loyd. Your shoe reviews are very good and informative but I take all reviews with a very large pinch of salt as they’re so so subjective. I used to use this shoe a lot for trails up to about 2013-4 but then it became the Fuji Gel Trabuco rather than just the Asics Trabuco and it changed for the worst.
Can I also just mention that your high opinion about the Arc is obviously because you’re based down there in Cornwall but I would have to say that the event for the cost is way way too high considering its mostly an event that needs self support. Ive done cheaper events that are more scenic, well supported and amazing in every other way for half the cost of entry.
Thanks Phil, I'm glad you're enjoying our reviews 👍
We put a lot of time and effort into them and try to make them as informative as possible. I totally agree, of course you have to take shoe reviews with a pinch of salt as it just my opinion on a shoe 👍 Everyone's foot shape is different, every shoe shapes up differently and everyone runs differently. So what suits me won't suit everyone but hopefully it gives viewers a bit of information about the products on the market that maybe they weren't aware of 👍
As far as my opinion of the AoA that's just my opinion of the race. I'm not saying eryone has to love the race like me. Of course I have a high opinion of the race because the route is on my training ground, how often do you get to run 100 miles on a route you know so well!? 😊
I was wondering, have you run the Arc before?
The route is absolutely stunning and challenging, especially with the race being in winter. Again I'm not saying it's the most stunning route of any race and I obviously know there's some other just as amazing races out there! 👍
When you mention support, yes the check points are spread out but when you get to them the support is amazing from the Arc angels. I'm sure last year there was just over 200 runners and 165 Arc Angels helping out the runners, I think that quite a bit of support! 😊
Also there's a lot of mobile support crews out on the route to look after any runners that need help in between the check points. I agree it's not the cheapest race out there but it's obviously got something about it because there's runners tripping over themselves to enter it every year. Having run it 4 times I still think it's an awesome event and I will continue to look forward to the Arc weekend every year. Maybe if you haven't run it before you should give it a go one year but that's just my opinion 😊
Thanks for watching the channel and taking the time to comment it's really appreciated 🙏
@@Run4Adventure Cheers Loyd. Love your reviews and info on all things running ;-) Yes I have tried my luck with the Arc a couple of times and its one beast thats for sure :-). For someone who has normally not too many issues with the 100 mile distance this one event has given me all sorts of problems. Its just my opinion I know but I think they're too tight on their cut offs and as its not easy for me to get down to Cornwall and train on the paths its a race that I think suits locals or people that can get down there to train better so not sure if I'll ever give it another go, but you never know 😉The first time i tried, I tried with no support and as I was chasing the cut offs by the time I got to the very distanced checkpoints there was nothing left, food wise. The second attempt I did have a support guy but he missed a coupe of the places he was supposed to meet so I ended up having much the same issue. Didn't see or get much support from anyone else along the way so not sure what experiences you've had in the past but they weren't mine. Keep the good work going on your channel though, its one of the best. I'll be sure to say hi if I ever make it back down for the Arc 👍

For me, they are not narrow. As a comparison I had to return a pair of La sportiva Bushido 2 because they were too narrow.
It's definitely not a wide shoe, obviously width depends on your foot shape. To be fair the Bushido is a narrow shoe! Did you go up in size in the La Sportiva shoe because they size up super small 👍
@@Run4Adventure Yes, maybe it was my mistake with la sportiva brand. La sportiva akasha was my first choice, but they didn't have my size on sale so I ordered one pair of la sportiva akyra and one pair bushido 2, intending to keep the one i like more. Both pairs were too small so i had to return them. I didn't like akyra because it was too stiff so i ordered another bushido 2, a size up. This one was good lengthwise, but still too narrow. So, considering that i liked all the road asics that i had and ordered this trabuco. Your review convinced me to give them a try and they feel great until now. So, thank you.
Yeap La Sportiva are pretty stiff in the midfoot! I've never really got on with their shoes. I've always found them a bit stiff and heavy. The only shoe I've like from them is the Helios. It's more of a summer trail shoe but it's super comfortable, lightweight and flexible. Unfortunately it is still narrow 👍
