Questionable Gore-Tex - ASICS GEL-Trabuco 11 GTX review

A review of the ASICS GEL-Trabuco 11 GTX from a daily bike commuter perspective. Hope it's informative, let me know if you have any questions in the comments ;)
It is a fact that this is not a biking shoe, but hey my waterproof jacket never claimed itself as "guaranteed to keep you dry", neither is made for biking and still does a great job.

[@marcel7161]

Both Sonoma GTX and Trabuco GTX are waterproof. Just make sure that water is not leaking from above!

[@5.56mm]

You can't expect a GTX running shoe to be waterproof if you're wearing shorts in heavy rain. Guess where the water in your shoe is coming from?

[@chellovlogs]

The origin of the water does not change my conclusion. Plus wearing pants makes no difference I assure you

[@5.56mm]

@@chellovlogs Seriously? Do you really think there is a single GTX running shoe that will keep your feet dry during those circumstances? I'm myself using the Trabuco 11 GTX and it's perfectly waterproof as long as you don't step into 10 cm of water or use shorts during heavy rainfall. 🤷‍♂

[@seanmurphy2365]

In other words, it's not waterproof ​@@5.56mm

I use gtx runners for walking in the Shanghai rain. But I also carry an umbrella. They are great for keeping your feet dry in those conditions. Sorry didn't work out in yours.

THANK YOU

If its to much rain look for runningshoes with good water evacuation

[@AuthenticAbhi1]

i have just bought asics sonoma 7 gtx, and had tested in rain, it's not waterproof at all it just resist water in a bit amount.

[@木火日月]

How is the fit/sizing comparing to Novablast 3? Same size for both? Or half size up for Trabuco 11?
If you don't have Novablast 3, how about comparing to Nike Peg Trail 4 GTX in the video. Same size for both? Or half size up for Trabuco 11?

[@chellovlogs]

I don't really have other waterproof class shoe, my others were bought using other parameters like style when I got a 4D or or comfort for most of my running shoes

[@木火日月]

@@chellovlogs Thank you for the quick reply. I'm hoping to get a pair of Trabuco 11 this holiday season, so I'm asking about people's experience regarding sizing and fit. Asics's sizing can be a bit tricky...

[@Bodiso]

Did you get half size up for Trabuco 11?

[@hanshart1413]

Dude when you are running in heavy rain the water will obviously drip down your legs into the shoes.

[@chellovlogs]

You could read the comments, i believe someone created this discussion already. This way you could join it instead or re-creating it

[@bogdanceausescu7403]

Is at least breathable for the warmer days?

[@chellovlogs]

yes it's breathable

[@rmkchan]

Are you wearing shorts?

[@chellovlogs]

ofc, hahaha

[@rmkchan]

Water going to your shoes from ankles. Most of these goretex running shoes are for running on light snowy surface….

[@mtnrnnr50]

I haven’t found a single waterproof shoe ever. There are too many shoe eyelets and ways for water to get in the shoe

[@namename1]

Try speedcross 6 gtx ?

[@MsJellyfan]

My old xodus is actually waterproof

[@chellovlogs]

thanks by the tip, never heard of the brand tho

[@MsJellyfan]

@@chellovlogs i´m pretty satisfied with all my saucony shoes

[@sypherian1982]

Not the sharpest tool in the shed 😂

[@maneamichael5653]

you are not that bright.

[@chellovlogs]

I don't understand. Can you elaborate on that?

[@jemnas9830]

Thats rude
