I recently bought trabuco 12 And they Are pretty good. Grip Is insane in every condition, Very comfy And cushioning Is JUST about right. Only things Is that they could ve lighter. I also use novablast 4 And pretty like them, but I sometimes get hot spots on my right foot. Also today I have gotten Sprains in novablast :(

Returned trubaco 12 and kept fuji light. The 12 was much tighter and hard in the front. Rubbed against big toe. Also had more heel slippage feeling in the 12. Also, more clunky and higher heel. But the 12 is/was more stable and wider base plate. So I'm currently rotating the fuji light 4 and trabuco max 1 (bought a new pair). More snug fit in fuji light and I like the 4mm drop better than 8mm in trabuco 12. No rock plate but I haven't felt any pepplebso far.
