Love these shoes enough that I just bought two more pair..., May 4, 2010
This review is from: ASICS Men's GEL-Trabuco 12 WR Running Shoe (Apparel)
I bought a pair of Asics Gel-trabuco 12 last fall when I was running to get in shape for the upcoming snowboarding season. They were my first pair of asics after mixed success and failure with Adidas and other brands (one pair was really reliable, but another pair I blew out the toe-box in a few weeks!)
I logged a good 25-30 miles a week in them for a few months, including some 8-9 miles runs, mostly in the fall and early winter. They're not waterproof, but I thought they did pretty good as long as I tried to avoid the puddles. These are a little wider up front which is nice, and reinforced so it's not just your foot causing friction against the mesh upper, which I think caused the failure on several pairs of adidas.
As I get back in to running this spring/summer, yesterday I bought two more pairs of these: one regular pair for the summer, and one gore-tex pair for those wet days in the spring and fall, which hopefully will last through the winter, too.

Comfortable, durable & lightweight, Great for trails., November 26, 2011
Purchased a year ago after seeing a review in a running magazine. The price was a little steep at the time ($150), but I liked the design along with the reviews that it received. Decided to purchase anyways. Upon trying them on, I noticed that it fit very well and had a good bit of toe area for a running shoe (unlike Nike, which end up hurting my feet when work for more than an hour). These ended up being the most comfortable running shoes i've ever purchased. I bought them intending to use them for an all-around tennis shoe. Ive worn them for PFTs in the Marine Corps, trail running, and even for just daily routines like going to Wal-Mart. After wearing them for a year, I can definitely say that these have been the most versatile pair of shoes I've ever purchased. The design pattern features mainly shades of grey with a subtle taste of orange. Because of the neutrality of the shoe, they can be worn with various outfits & colors. If you are looking for a comfortable shoe that performs just as well on a trail as it does on pavement, this is the one for you. Overall: Light, comfortable, & durable. Performs just as well on trails as it does on pavement. Unique, yet subtle design that goes well with various outfits. Tested for a year, still in great condition with no maintenance. Very sturdily made. A personal favorite!

Great Support; Attractive Styling, October 4, 2010
This review is from: ASICS Men's GEL-Trabuco 12 WR Running Shoe (Apparel)
These Trabucos are by far the best knock-around shoes I've owned. I generally use them for walking, hiking and running errands on the weekends. Not only do they look great, but they provide great support. My foot pain is markedly less when I wear these shoes.
