ASICS GEL-Trabuco MAX 5 Women’s Trail Running Shoes
Take on the trails with confidence in the ASICS GEL-Trabuco MAX 5 Women’s. Designed for technical off-road runs, these shoes deliver a balance of traction, cushioning, and stability so you can run faster and longer, even in wet or muddy conditions.
The ASICSGRIP outsole ensures reliable grip on loose or uneven surfaces, while FF BLAST PLUS cushioning gives a soft, springy feel underfoot and responsive energy at toe-off. The GUIDESOLE curved sole reduces ankle flexion and absorbs impact, helping your legs feel fresher over long distances.
A lightweight engineered mesh upper with water-repellent treatment keeps feet dry, and the EVA sockliner adds extra cushioning and moisture management. At roughly 13 grams lighter than the previous model, the Trabuco MAX 5 lets you move faster without compromising comfort.
