Customer Reviews ASICS Gel-Trabuco® 12 WR

Love these shoes! This is my second pair and I just bought a third for down the road since they aren't making the black/yellpw any more. But, I like this color as well. The shoes themselves are very supportive for cross country hiking as well as outstanding around town. Zappos rocks as far as their service..they are my number one choice now for ANY type of shoes!

Best pair of Asics I've ever had. Fits my foot perfectly and useful for running, walking, or standing for extended periods of time.

Bought a new pair of these after running my last pair of the same shoe ragged. My first run was fantatstic. Just proves to me how important it is to upgrade your running shoes more frequently than I do. I have flat feet and the arch support is fine. Shoe felt slightly snug, not a concern though. Just need a couple of runs to stretch the shoe and lacing. I run on gravel and dirt roads and also through fields and these shoes hold up in all conditions. I highly recommend these or any Asics.

These shoes are awesome! This makes the second time I ordered from Zappos. Will order from them again.

This is a great all-round shoe. It is great for running and for practically anything. The shoes sole is made for practically any surface, from grass to a tennis court. Over all, a pretty good shoe. The lace seemed to be tighter than usual though.\\r\\n\\r\\n

I do 90% trail running, and average about 1500 miles per year. These have been my absolute favorite trail shoes, and I get an average of 600 miles per pair. They offer the correct amount of cushioning, balanced with protection against rocks, and great traction. They tend to last pretty well, and only the toughest, rockiest trails will tear them up. They are even acceptable for road running, although certainly not as comfortable as dedicated road shoes. I also own a pair of the same model but in the waterproof (-X) style, but found those inferior is too heavy and don't breath as well.

Looks good, but too big. I usually wear 9.5 in Asics but they were too large.

The Trabuco has that legendary Asics fit. The size seems to small. Order a half size larger than usual.I run on a combination of dirt and asphalt and they are perfect for that. Good grip and solid enough that you don't feel the stones etc under foot without being excessively heavy in weight. I've run in them for 3 weeks now and I am really enjoying them.

Asics is one of the most comfortable brands of athletic shoes in my opinion. This is the second pair I have owned, the first being a pair of gel running shoes that lasted a long time in comfort and durability. I wanted something with a little more aggressive tread for multi-surface running and other outdoor activities. These have hit the mark in addition to being constructed with rugged materials and very breathable. The size was spot on as well. Zappos also had them at my doorstep practically before I ordered them, which was a pleasure because I unfortunately do not live in an abundant retail area for shoe selection. Thank you Zappos.

Great shoe, absolutely love the design. Zappos as usual had great service. The shoes were almost delivered overnight.

As always great service from Zappos! ASICS' are always high quality and these don't disappoint. Great fit and support. Used these right out of the box for 5 mile trail run through the rain forest on Maui. The terrain changed from loose soil and gravel to slick boulders and creek bed. I felt comfortable and secure no matter what the terrain. The support, comfort, stability, and traction are fantastic.

These are very good comfortable shoes. They seem to be light are a good looking shoe. Running in these shoes is very cushioning and they don't seem to rub on my feet wrong like some shoes I've had.

Another winner from Asics. Good arch support and great cushioning. I trail run about ten miles a week and this shoe is great. The shoe seemed a little small when I bought them, but the foam in the heel takes a little time to adjust to your foot. A word of caution, this is not a wet weather shoe.

Asics is my brand of choice when it comes to running and general wearing around shoes. For me, a good arch support is important and these feel great. I got the Gel-Trabuco 12 WR about a month ago and I have zero regrets. I love their light weight and they really feel great to run in. I'm not a marathon runner, I only put in about 8-15 miles per week but at 6 ft. & 185#, they get well used. I've owned Trabuco's in the past and have never been disappointed. I only wish they had a few more different color schemes.

These are a great comfortable shoe! I use them everyday on long walks and runs. No impact at all on my feet.

I am a long time ASICS wearer and these sneakers are similar in comfort and fit to other ASICS running sneakers. They are extremely comfortable, good level of arch support and great for working out. They also fit true to size compared to other ASICS styles and they look cool too.

Great shoe for me. I'm a large guy (6'4", 290lb) and this shoe provides plenty of support and cushioning. Sole is stiff enough. Fit seems true. Very happy with this purchase.

Once again Asics did not let me down!!! Been running for 38 yrs. and have never been disappointed with one of their shoes, fits are true to size and the comfort is second to none! Also, if there is a better on-line store than Zappos, please let me know, I would love to do business with them!!!

This is a great shoe! I needed a shoe that was durable and stable. I use this shoe to run the roads and it absorbs shock better for my 219lb frame. Most trail shoes are heavy and these only weigh 9 ounces. I highly recommend these shoes for any type of running and I highly recommend ASICS if this particular shoe is not for you.

After trying other brands, I always come back to ASICS for running shoes of any kind. ASICS shoes have a good fit that feels roomy but not sloppy. I'm a bigger guy and these shoes provide good padding without begin spongy. Rugged feel and I expect them to last a long time. Love them.

I go through 3 or 4 pairs of these every year (30+ miles each week) for the past 10 years or more. This is a great shoe, with solid construction and stable base for trail running (all I do). Gel is easy on the knees, hips etc. Keep in mind everyone's foot is different so you want to make sure they fit well for you.

I bought the ASICS Gel-Trabuco 12WR\'s to replace a old pair that I had. I am was very pleased to find that the shoe has not changed in fit. Of course Zappo\'s was able to get them to me practically next day! I am very happy with this purchase.

Purchased two pair of these shoes in preparation for the Oxfam Hong Kong Trailwalker 100k charity event. Actually only ended up wearing one pair. I found the shoe great. They fit me perfectly, but I am familiar with the Asics and what exact size to buy for my foot. Shoe performed well on the road (asphalt / concrete) and the rough trail terrain (dirt, rocks, tree roots, etc). Great cushion and stiff enough in the sole to protect my feet from bruising. And having only worn them for few days walking before the run, not one blister. I would definitely buy them again. Got to wear out the two pair 1st!

Unfortunately, Trabuco is not for me or anyone with wider feet. They are size D, and even going 1/2 size up won't do the justice for 4E runner like me.
