TRABUCO Max 4 trail shoes deliver ultra-cushioned comfort and energy return for long distances
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I ran a 50K in the TRABUCO Max 4s and they blew me away. The FF BLAST PLUS midsole is plush without being mushy, and the rocker shape actually helped me conserve energy over the long haul. It’s a great shoe for longer runs when I want max cushion without losing responsiveness."
When we're deep into a long run and the terrain gets unpredictable, the ASICS TRABUCO Max 4 keeps us moving with confidence and comfort. Designed to go the distance, this trail running shoe features a high-cushion platform and energy-saving geometry that feels smooth and supportive even after hours on foot.
ASICS built the TRABUCO Max 4 with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning that absorbs impact while maintaining a snappy, lightweight feel. GUIDESOLE™ rocker technology helps propel us forward with less energy, making steep ascents and technical descents feel more efficient. The grippy outsole holds strong across loose gravel, wet roots, and everything in between, while a breathable upper keeps feet cool through it all. Whether it’s a mellow loop or a 50K race day, these shoes are built to last—and built to help us last longer.

Not impressed
I loved the original Trabuco Max. The 4's are a step backwards. The toe box collapses with some wear when the front edge of the sole begins to delaminate from the upper after only a couple hundred miles. And the soles wear out way faster as well.

Narrow toe box
Narrow toe box creates lots of discomfort after a few miles of running.

Great all rounder
Great trail shoe, plenty of cushion but stable even on the rough stuff. Terrific lockdown.

Bouncy Soles
The soles are huge and I didn’t know if that was going to be a deal breaker for me so I decided to order them and try. They are big but they’re super comfy and the soles are bouncy so it makes running feel easier, like I’m getting a little push. I also really like the colorway in person, which was primarily why I got these. I use them for HIIT classes, hiking and running and they’re great for all three.

I like Asics I have the Novablast
I like the brand. I like the look but I bought them for everyday wear which may not be the best option but considering this I rotate them with my other shoes so they workout. As far as actually using using them on the trail I cannot say but trust they probably work for that purpose!

Lighter but less cushion
The shoes are lighter which I like but the cushion seems less than the Trabuco Max 3. I do like them but hope the Max 5 has the cushion level higher. But I just replaced my Max 3's with the Max 4's and have only run in them 8 miles. Maybe they'll break in. :)

Best Trabuco
I loved the 2 hated the three but the 4 is a better shoe than even the Trabuco 2! The 4 has a more firm feel, ran 10.5 miles in the rain on uneven grassy terrain and they performed perfectly! Keep this shoe in production!!

Comfortable and reliable trail running shoe!
Fantastic trail running shoe. I feel like I can run forever! I haven’t ran on too many technical trails but this offers comfort perfect for long distance and great traction. I love it and would recommend to any trail runner looking to put into some miles. My only complaint is I feel like they run a little smaller than other asics running shoes. My true size is 11.5 I went up to a size 12 and it still feels like an 11.5. I wish I would have went up a full size or maybe even a full size and a half. Other than that I love them. I just use the heel lock every time and haven’t had any issues.
