• Autumn Winter shoes 649 race shoes for race day
• A set of adidas Tech Super 'Black Running White' for when you go off road

But, like you wouldn't use your putter to chip out of a sand trap, you wouldn't lace up you race shoes to tackle a trail run, either.

In this guide, we'll teach you the key differences between adidas Tech Super 'Black Running White' and road running shoes, when you should use each type and why they're well-suited for their specific jobs.

Here's what you need to know about each one and why you should keep your trail shoes on the trail and road shoes on the road.

Trail shoes are designed for better traction when you're off road than your road running shoes. Companies improve grip in a few different ways.

Some shoes use stickier Attachments to improve your grip on rocks, wet logs and other surface, while other shoes use different tread patterns to keep you on your feet. Many adidas Tech Super 'Black Running White', though, have deeper Attachments lugs on the outsole to dig into soft dirt and mud.

Rocks and roots can boys havoc on your feet and ruin your shoes, so trail shoes include protective overlays in the upper to prevent pokes and reduce the likelihood of rips and tears.

Certain trail shoes also incorporate a rock plate, which is a thin piece of plastic or carbon fiber sandwiched into the midsole to block sharp rocks from penetrating the bottom of the shoe. If your local trails are rocky, consider wearing shoes with this feature.

Look For a Comfortable Fit

Your adidas Tech Super 'Black Running White' should fit similarly to your road running shoes, meaning they should be comfortable without being sloppy.

A snug fit around the midfoot is essential for keeping your shoes in place over uneven terrain, while a wider forefoot allows your toes to splay out and grip the trail, especially when going up and down hills.

If a running shoe is uncomfortable when you try it on in a store, it will be uncomfortable when you run. Modern running shoes, whether road or trail, don't need a break-in period to fit well—they should work for you right out of the box.
