Trail & Off-Road Running Shoes
Read More

Off-road trail running shoes are made for running on uneven, rugged terrain like muddy dirt paths, loose gravel, rocky trails, forest floors or mountain tracks. Off-road trail running shoes have high grip sticky rubber soles with deep tread patterns for maximum traction on wet or slick surfaces - some trail shoes even come with rock plates to shield your feet from sharp stones or jagged roots. The footprint on a trail running shoe is often wider to help increase stability and traction on uneven ground. The mid sole on a trail running shoe should have responsive cushioning - typically firmer than a road shoe for better stability and protection. Many trail shoes have a lower heel-to-toe drop for a more natural feel and better ground control. The uppers are usually reinforced to cope with harsh conditions, particularly in the toe cap area for impact protection. Many uppers are waterproof with sealed tongues to help keep water out. Some off-road shoes include hooks or built-in gaiters to keep out debris.
