Trail Running Shoes

Nothing ruins a good run like improper footwear.  You think it isn't important? Well, good luck running in those plastic-heeled "Nikos" you got at the ten pound and under store. Just because your shoddy-ness could not fork over a few extra pounds for some proper gear,  you'll be fearing for your ankles when a hungry little forest critter becomes your running companion. And who knows what those little buggers are carrying around with them? You must be able to outrun all--or well at least the slow- to medium-paced--creatures of the off-road path. Only a proper pair of shoes can save you.  

Features to Look For

  • Added traction for better grip.
  • Durable but lightweight build.
  • Motion control for running on uneven surfaces.
  • Water resistance.

Men

Asics 

For normal to low arches:

Gel Trabuco IX : The new model of this shoe has better flexibility, heel support, and stability. It is good for those who oscillate between road and off-road running.

Saucony 

For durable lightness:

ProGrid Xodus : This shoe is extremely durable for a lightweight model. It features a vibram outsole and is best on uneven and hilly paths.

Adidas 

For normal to high arches:

Response Trail XIV : The wider width of the arch makes the shoe more stable. It is good for running on uneven and downhill surfaces. 

 

Nike 

For difficult trails:

Shox Junga : The unique treading of this shoe allows you to move over difficult obstacles and uneasy surfaces. 

 

Salomon 

For versatility:

Salomon XT Wing : Includes features that lessen the severity of impact and keep the foot stable on rocky terrain. Good for both pavement and off-road trails.

Women

Adidas 

For normal to high arches:

Response Trail XIV : This shoe features a wider arch and improved heel cushioning for overall stability. It is good for running on steep inclines and uneven surfaces.

La Sportiva 

For extremely uneven surfaces: 

Crosslite : This lightweight shoe is designed with heavy lugs to get through the roughest trails. Its mesh exterior provides breathability, and the sturdy outsole is perfect for both wet and dry surfaces. 

Merrell 

For a narrower heel:

Overdrive II : This shoe is designed with a wider forefoot and narrower heel to better contour the female foot. It also has a higher arch to support a tendency to pronate later on in the run. 

Asics 

For transitioning from road to offroad: 

Gel-Eagle Trail V : This shoe has many features of the road shoe and therefore serves as a good shoe for those that want to shift their focus to the trails. It has a wider fit, so it is not suited for those who need narrow foot support.
