It's not just the inside of these shoes that are perfect for trail. We've added our ASICS grip outsole to ensure you can handle any terrain, and multi-directional lugs to prevent slipping or sliding when you go off-road. The lugs keep you stable when running downhill, so you can take on hills and trails safe in the knowledge that you've got the best traction and grip possible. GORE-TEX™ is an innovative material that we use in the upper part of ASICS men’s GORE-TEX™ running shoes . It is a waterproof yet breathable fabric that allows water vapour to pass out, while stopping liquid from getting in. This makes it especially suited to running shoes that are worn in damp conditions, since your feet won’t get wet, but heat and water vapour can escape so you don’t get hot and sweaty. GORE-TEX™ men’s shoes - when do you need them? Any distance runner knows that it's crucial to keep your feet stable while running, and DUOMAX™ system counteracts overpronation while adding essential firmness to the midsole and arch of the foot. With maximum protection, comfort and grip, ASICS GEL-Fujitrabuco 7 running shoes are the ideal choice to take you on long and ultra trail distances. I can’t comment on the water resistance of these shoes as the the routes I took were actually flooded in places and the water was way deeper than my ankles. What I can say though is even though they were full of water they drained really well as I ran on and were still really secure on my feet and I had no issues with them rubbing, which for me is a real plus and I will definitely be using these on any future obstacle course races I have this year. My VERDICT

If you regularly run in wet or rainy conditions, then you may well benefit from ASICS GORE-TEX™ men’s running shoes. They’re especially useful if:If a bit of rain isn’t going to stop you from working out, then a pair of men’s GORE-TEX™ running shoes are the perfect choice. By letting you keep running over muddy puddles, in snowy conditions and during heavy showers, GORE-TEX™ shoes for men allow you to continue enjoying your sport whatever the weather.

Racing in wet weather: Although regular running shoes can provide some resistance to passing showers, GORE-TEX™ running shoes can be very helpful if you are running in a race on an especially rainy day. By keeping your feet dry, they mean you’ll feel more comfortable and able to focus on your run. I’m far from a trail running expert and I’ve only managed to take these beauties out for couple short trail runs, and if I’m honest I felt a bit guilty about taking them out and getting them dirty. But that’s exactly what I did and I certainly had fun getting very wet and a little bit dirty. Price-wise the Gel Fujitrabuco 8 sits in the premium end of Asics' trail running shoes, just below the Gel Quantum 360 5, and above the GT 2000 8.
