Product Description

The GEL-TRABUCO 9 shoe has been re-engineered from top to bottom to assert itself as an all-around trail pioneer. Rugged and comfortable are the two terms that best describe this trail running shoe. It's for the off-road runner seeking excellent durability, protection, and grip. After reimagining the shoe’s upper, this version weighs in at approximately one ounce (30gm) less than its predecessor. The advanced comfort comes from the FLYTEFOAM midsole material that's coupled with GEL technology cushioning in the heel. Equipped with a DUOMAX support system that creates a more stable ride, this placement of foam on the medial side of the midsole offers a firmer density that keeps the foot from rotating inward too much (overpronation). The lugged outsole pattern features ASICSGRIP rubber while incorporating an uphill and downhill lug pattern on the lateral and medial side of the shoe to improve traction on slippery terrain. Additionally, a rock protection plate helps the outsole stay flexible and shield the foot from abrupt terrain or trail debris. The GEL-TRABUCO 9 shoe is designed to help you fly through the trails with advanced traction both uphill and downhill, while the responsive midsole foam creates better propulsion throughout your off-road recon.

I run anywhere from 10 to 30 miles per week, zero complaints. The drop is perfect, can barely feel the road under foot, no knee, back, plantar fascitis flare ups, just a well balanced shoe. Fit is true to size, relatively inexpensive, and the color is nice. Already bought 2 more pairs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Order 1/2 size up from normal shoe size
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2022

These shoes are like running in ASICS gel kayano shoes with winter treads. The lift in the heel is higher then my other trabucos (7&8’s). They are better padded then the afore mentioned shoes. Traction is great on rocks, loose rock and sand. Great trail shoe. However, after six months of light wear the stitching in the great toe area of both shoes is coming loose and both shoes shoe signs of stress along the inner arch area below the stripe. I can understand the right foot, it has ligament damage. I would expect better wear for the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Black and Blazing Coral model seems to run true to size for a size 9

I wear an 8 1/2 in athletic shoes and ordered a 9 based on reviews that suggested ordering a 1/2 size up. The shoe was too large! :o(
It may be that another model or size is the one that is running small, but a 9 seems to be correct for this shoe. Will reorder an 8 1/2.

Love the look, love the fit, love the comfort. Wore a pair all 2022 and could not be more pleased that the same shoe is still available at half the price. I almost want to buy them all since shoe companies seem determined to make every new generation of shoe suck more than the previous! Should i even post this!?!?!?
