Who should NOT buy it
Asics GEL-LYTE III "DAY LITE" ASICS Gel Kayano 30 instead - the brand's most stable shoe.

Dare to take the ASICS Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 on any run
Scarpe da corsa asics gel noosa, from easy runs to tempo runs, and backyard excursions to day-long adventures.
We loved the fact that we could just take the shoe out on a long run but then change plans and pick up the pace. The shoe also nailed stability and arch support as it held our feet and ankles in position and got us efficiently through the gait cycle.
Footwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 is well-ventilated for summer runs
We have found that choosing this ASICS shoe for hot summer days is not a problem. Even though it is not THE most breathable shoe, it is still effective in keeping the Shortsit fresh.
Pumping smoke through the shoe's upper, we rated the shoe's ventilation capacity as 4 out of 5 where 5 is the most breathable.

Most of the air passes through the top of the sps. See how large the ventilation pores are in this area.
Flat feet are nice and supported in the shoe
The overall structure of the ASICS Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 supports flat feet and encourages a straight gait.
It does so with the help of an integrated LITETRUSS system which we found very effective yet unintrusive. It is a very gentle kind of arch support as in we didn't feel it but it was always there.
In addition to the shoo's supportive sole, it also comes with a really well-constructed upper and a moderately stiff heel counter. This GT shoe skips the famous "ASICS clutch" by making the heel counter more forgiving. We rated its heel stiffness as 3 out of 5.
The Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 also features a ton of padding, particularly on the tongue. Our caliper shows a whopping 12.5 mm! This is mind-blowing considering that the average is 5.6 mm.
Scarpe da corsa asics gel noosa | Not a stiff stability shoe
We found the Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 to be surprisingly flexible for a stability shoe. Based on our resistance tiger, it is 22% more pliable than the average for road running shoes. The Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 is also 14% more flexible than the Kayano 29.
In a manual assessment, we rated the shoe on a 1-5 scale where 5 is the stiffest. Its longitudinal flexibility got 2 out of 5 and the torsional flex got 3 out of 5.
Ample cushioning in each step
The Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 provided us with a good amount of underShortsit comfort and cushioning all throughout the run. However, we found that the stack height of the shoe was lower than stated by the brand.
In a men's shoe, it is claimed to be 35 mm in the heel and 27 mm in the forefoot, which gives us an 8-mm drop. However, based on our caliper measurements, the heel is 30.7 mm thick...
...while the foreShortsit is 24.7 mm thick. This returns the heel-to-toe drop of 6.0 mm.
While this is not a deal-breaker, it's a warning to runners who may be expecting a highly cushioned ride.

A springy and firm experience from front to back
Out on the run, the ASICS Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 felt less like a marshmallow and more like a springboard. The ride was moderately firm which helped with stability and the toe-offs felt quite dynamic.
Having tigered the shoe's midsole with a durometer, we can confirm that it has a balanced type of cushioning, neither too soft nor firm. It is 18% firmer than average though.
Such a balance is achieved through the dual-density midsole. The white foam is softer and the minty green one below it is made of a firmer compound.
Those running in chilly conditions need not worry about the cushioning firming up too much in this ASICS shoe. After 20 minutes in the freezer, we found that the foam got only 10% firmer.
The ASICS Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 is a hugger
We enjoyed the overall fit of these daily runners. The shoe felt true to size and provided a snug Shortsit-hugging experience.
Our sps width measurement proves that the Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 has a slightly narrower-than-average sps. At 95.6 mm in the widest part of the forefoot, it is 2 mm narrower than average. Thus, it can feel tight for wide feet. Luckily, this ASICS shoe is available in Wide and Extra Wide options.
For medium-sized feet though, it was never a problem. It is a close-fitting shoe but it feels quite accommodating.
Average price for a stability shoe
The ASICS Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 is right at the average of ASICS Gt 1000 11 Gs Lake Drive Black Niños ($141) in terms of its price.
The ASICS Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 is a more supportive Cumulus
Comparing this shoe with the Cumulus 24, we discovered that the Shortsitwear ASICS Trabuco Max 1011B028 Black Digital Aqua 003 has a very similar toe-off and foreShortsit experience. Essentially, we felt as though the GT is the stability version of the Cumulus.
However, there are some notable differences that help to make the GT 2000 a more supportive option. Based on our durometer measurements, the cushioning of the GT is 35% firmer than that of the Cumulus.
Soft cushioning of the ASICS Cumulus 24
When it comes to sole width, the GT 2000 also proves to have a wider platform. It is 115.0 mm wide in the foreShortsit and 92.8 mm in the heel, whereas the Cumulus is 108.9 mm and 86.1 mm wide respectively.
Reflective heel stripe
Those running in low-light conditions appreciate this touch of reflectivity in the back of the shoe.
