What to look for in trail running

Three things matter on trail: traction, protection, and how the shoe handles your local dirt. A 4mm lug works fine on gravel and packed singletrack. For mud, wet rock, or technical terrain you'll want 5mm or deeper. Protection means a rock plate or a stiff midsole that keeps stones from being a problem. Stack height matters too. A high-stack trail shoe gives you cushion for long runs but can feel tippy on rocky descents. Most trail runners are happiest in a 25–32mm stack with a moderate lug.

FAQ

Are trail shoes worth it if I only run road?

No. The lugs make road running slower and less comfortable, and you'll wear the outsole faster. Get a road shoe for road, a trail shoe for trail.

Can I use trail shoes for hiking?

Most trail running shoes work for day hikes up to 8 to 10 miles on dry trails. For wet, rocky, or pack-loaded hiking you'll want a hiker with more torsional stiffness.

Do you carry waterproof trail shoes?

Yes. Gore-Tex versions of popular trail shoes are usually in stock. Worth knowing: GTX shoes keep water out until water gets in, then they hold it. Pick GTX for cold and wet, not for summer.

What about ankle support?

Most trail shoes are low-cut. Strong ankles come from running on uneven ground, not from shoe collars. If you've sprained a lot, a mid-cut hiker for technical days is a reasonable pick.
