This new version of Asics trail shoes Trabuco Max 2 has an even softer shock absorption than the first version with renewed FF blast + shock absorption. The transition is smooth due to the tapered outsole and the feeling of 'energy return' due to the new shock absorption technique. The upper is also well reinforced for more protection at the toes. Excellent grip with 'Asics grip sole'. This model has an elastic strap to hide your tied laces. This Asics Trabuco MAX 2 has attachment points to attach a protective cover (gaiter).
