Best praise vs top criticism for Asics Trabuco 13
“Build quality is second to none. Novablast. Trabuco. Superblast. They last forever”
“I've just got the Trabuco 13 and have done 3 runs (about 20km) in them. They feel so stiff and hard underfoot and are killing my calves. I'm used to fairly heavily cushioned shoes (Novablast5, Evo SL, GliderideMax). The Trabuco make me feel like it's hard work just lifting my heel up never mind running. The grip is great in the mud and trails (in the UK) but they're just so much hard work. Are there better alternatives that feel more rockered (i guess it's what i need) and cushioned? I thought about the Trabuco Max but looking online (RunRepeat) they're even stiffer than the Trabuco13. I'd like a version of the Novablast but with bigger lugs than the TR version of it for proper running through the fields etc.”
