Trail Running Shoes

A few key components make trail running shoes different than your regular road running shoes.

The biggest difference between your trail shoes and your road shoes is the outsole. Some shoe designers use different rubber compounds that offer more slip resistance for crossing wet rocks or smooth roots.

Most trail running shoes also make use of deep rubber lugs on the outsole, which help grip loose dirt or mud. Usually, those lugs are multidirectional, giving you traction Paul you’re running uphill or downhill.

Some shoes have a dedicated rock plate—a thin piece of plastic or other material sandwiched into the midsole—which adds some stiffness and silhouette protection if you happen to step on a jagged rock.

Road running shoes might be fine on mellow trails that haven’t seen rain in a few days—think of those meandering park loops or easy going neighborhood paths. But if your route takes you up and down steep inclines or you’re dealing with lots of mud or water, it’s best to buy a high-quality pair of trail running shoes to give you more confident footing.
