I've worn the Trabuco through three generations of shoe.  I've always been happy with the shoe and find it a long wearing tough shoe for trail running. This is a shoe with a good sized toe box. I have run the latest pair through 50 miles of Plain Washington trails, rocky, dry, rugged stuff, and another 40 in the hills around Las Cruces NM,  more steep rocky dry ground.  I'm happy with them.  I should note I purchase my shoes large and put in an extra inner sole, and I shoe goo the toes to give me extra protection from the rocks. The soles are lasting well in this beating.  The upper is holding together well. I find the little pocket for shoe laces a bit of a pain.  I invert the pocket, tie my shoes, and then re-invert the pocket and stuff the ties laces in.  The pocket looks kind of rinky-dink but it seems to work just fine.  My only complaint on the Plain trails where there was inches of dust, was that the dust sifted into the toe box through the upper netting, ultimately causing me some foot problems.  I do not consider the Trabuco a mudder,  however its more aggressive tread in this generation might change my mind when I get back to the wet running.  At the discount prices that are being offered on some sizes it is a great bargain.
