Asics Trabuco 14 Trail Running Shoe - Women's Black/Amethyst, 8.5

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've been logging long miles in the women’s Trabuco 14 and love the balance of softness and security. The FF BLAST MAX cushioning is noticeably smoother and more responsive than the last version, and the updated fit makes it feel more stable, especially on uneven terrain. The outsole grips like a champ, and I really appreciate the protective feel without bulk.""The ASICS Trabuco 14 is designed to go the distance, whether we’re tackling technical singletrack or moving steadily through long alpine loops. This latest update features a softer ride and a better fit, with just the right balance of protection and agility for trail runners who value comfort without compromise. The midsole uses FF BLAST™ MAX foam to create a plush, stable ride with an extra 2mm of cushioning stack height—offering more impact absorption without slowing us down. A full-length rock plate keeps sharp trail hazards in check, while the high-traction ASICSGRIP™ outsole gives us grip across muddy switchbacks and rocky scrambles. A new trail-specific last delivers a more dialed, natural-feeling fit, and the upper is made with recycled materials and a dope-dyed sockliner to help reduce the shoe’s environmental footprint."
