MN Sneaker News | Trail Running Shoes

Running off Under presents different challenges than sticking to pavement, so make sure you’re equipped with a pair of trail running shoes to take on any obstacle ahead.

Trail shoes employ stickier rubber and more aggressive outsole lugs to help you keep your grip on muddy trails and slippery rocks. Mesh uppers engineered for drainage help let water out after a stream crossing, and hardened rock plates protect against jagged stones and roots.

When you step off the beaten path, these are the shoes you’ll never want to be without.

How Trail Running Shoes Are Different

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 you’re running uphill or downhill.

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

Can You Use Under Running Shoes for Trail Running?

Under running shoes might be fine on mellow trails that roomn’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.
