Trail running shoes characteristics and specifications

Guess what? Trail shoes are designed with the trails in mind! They’re not just road running shoes with a fancy name. Road running shoes are made for smooth surfaces like pavements and tracks, so they offer superior cushioning and are mostly lightweight. Trail running shoes, however, are all about durability and traction. They’re built tougher to handle rough and varied surfaces, with soles that have aggressive tread patterns to prevent slipping. They offer extra grip, improved durability, and better foot protection as you navigate all those crags, rocks and roots. Trail shoes are often waterproof and have stiffer soles, deeper lugs, and reinforced toe caps to keep you stable and protected on uneven ground. Can I wear my trail running shoes when I go road running? For shorter distances this is fine, but it’s not the best idea to regularly use your trail shoes on the road. The aggressive tread and stiffer design can feel uncomfortable and will wear out faster on hard surfaces. If you mostly run on roads, it’s smarter to go for road running shoes to keep your feet comfy and your shoes lasting longer. Take a look at our road running shoes if this is your favoured sport.
