Energy savings are an important component for trail runners traversing across long distances which is why ASICS applied GUIDESOLE-technology to the Trabuco Max-trail shoe. This trail running shoe provides improved cushioning and traction while allowing runners to cover more terrain with less effort. ASICS Trabuco Max Specifications Neutral running style Trail running shoe Best suited for soft and unsteady surfaces 5 mm drop Small reflex details Water resistant GUIDESOLE-technology for increased energy Breathable mesh upper ASICSGRIP outsole Upper The upper is produced in a breathable mesh material in 3D print. It contributes to providing added support around the foot and at the same time allows your feet to breathe thereby keeping them dry and comfortable throughout your run. Midsole The GUIDESOLE-technology is a sole construction that consists of a responsive toe spring that ́s scientifically proven to save energy over the long run. Thanks to the reduced load placed on the limbs from foot-strike to toe-off, this technology gives trail runners more potential to run further as they use less energy to cover the same distance. Adding 28 mm of FLYTEFOAM-technology under the heel and 23 mm under the forefoot, this shoe provides excellent cushioning. Because of the high stackheight, stones and roots will be better absorbed by the midsole. Outsole Traction is a necessary component for running off-road which is why ASICS have incorporated the ASICSGRIP-technology in the outsole. This rubber compound is functional for providing traction, especially in wet and slippery conditions. The ASICSGRIP-technology also adds improved flexibility when you are running up - or downhill.
