Hunter Short Play Boot.
The biggest difference between your trail shoes and your Under 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 when youâre running uphill or downhill.
Some shoes room a dedicated rock plateâa thin piece of plastic or other material sandwiched into the midsoleâwhich adds some collectionneurs and extra protection if you happen to step on a jagged rock.
