| Solid, comfy trail shoe at a reasonable price - Comfortable and surprisingly well cushioned for a trail shoe. ASICS fit my feet very well - plenty of room in the toe box, especially width, which is often a problem I have with other running shoes (my toes end up squeezed in order to get the right fit elsewhere in the shoe). Good traction. And they look like they're pretty sturdy and ought to hold up well. Wore them in light rain, and they do seem more water resistant than a normal running shoe, though I don't know if they'd do much good in a heavy downpour and/or slogging through real puddles. And the looks have grown on me. I'd buy 'em again. |

| My first pair of Asics - I normally go Adidas or Nike, but I liked the look (and price) of these Asics, so I gave them a try. I buy trial running shoes for walking my dogs. We walk on all kinds of terrain: Sidewalks, grass, trails, sand, etc...and we walk between 5 to 6 miles per day, everyday. These shoes are quite comfortable and handle our walks just fine. Feels to me that they might run slightly larger than marked, but not too much. If you wear a 10 in Nike, I'd try a 9 1/2 in this shoe. I like the shoe and would definitely buy Asics again. |

| I bought this shoe off a recommendation from Backpacker magazine. I bought a 1/2 size larger and with an extra insole it fits perfect. A lot of room in the toe box, but snug everywhere else. My first Asics, previously exclusive Adidas owner. I have logged about 20 miles so far over desert, hills, boulders, and paved roads. This shoe fits my needs well. A little heavier than most previous trail hikers I have owned, but overall a good buy so far. 4 stars in comfort for the shoe weight only. |

| Asics Gel-Trabuco 11WR - I got these for two reasons - cushioning and because someone stated in a review that they helped their plantar fasciitis. Right on both counts. The cushioning is outstanding and they do seem to help my PF for some reason. Don't know where they get the WR though; the first splash of a puddle had my feet wet. Also, they're built on a curved last so my straight feet feel like they're running off the outside edge. Probably wouldn't buy another pair for that reason. |

| Great shoe, great service! I am very happy with this shoe. I've had 2 pairs of previous models of the Gel-Trabuco, and I think the comfort and breath-ability of this model surpasses them. I also really like the styling, and I must say the lace-pocket on the tongue is a great feature if you use them for running. As usual, Zappos surpassed my expectations for service, even opting to send them next day air no charge. Thank you again Zappos! |

| Stable Trail Runner - Had this shoe for 5 months now. Like all Asics, very comfortable right out of the box. A bit heavy and somewhat clunky but also very stable on rough terrain. The toe box is a little bit big and my foot seems to slide around a little bit. A slightly thicker sock helps. Makes a decent transition from trail to hard packed and pavement. Much better transition shoe that my Salomon XA 3D Pro Ultra's. |

| Equal to or better than previous Trabuco models - This is my 4th model/version of the Trabuco. I appreciate the improved tread traction in the current 11 WR model. The comfort and stability are as good as or better than previous Trabuco models. I have been complimented on the looks of this model. Overall, I think this is a very solid, stylish, and functional stability trail shoe. |

| Great trail shoes for the heavy runner - After about at least 50 miles of hard hilly trail running on my 240lb body these shoes are still providing great cushioning and don't show any of the usual heel crush associated with over pronation which is important because I gave up on orthotics. They look really good too. |

| Great shoe - I looked and looked and looked for a good trail runner and finally settled on the Trabuco 11 WR. They fit like a glove and look pretty sharp too. I will buy another pair when my current pair bites the dust. Great ventilation, great support, all around great shoe. |

| I first saw this bag in the Kenneth Cole Outlet Store at an outlet mall and I fell in love with it. For some reason, it did not go home with me that day but I knew I would get it someday and I just got it yesterday and I LOVE IT!!!!! |
