Trail running shoes

The current trail shoes in our catalog, grouped by type. Each lists its stack height, drop, weight and lug depth, with a link to its main source. For picks that fit how you run, use the running shoe finder. Running mostly on pavement? See the road running shoes. Carrying water on long runs? See the running hydration vests.

What the finder weighs for a trail shoe

  • Whether you want more support, whether you use orthotics, and, if you ask us to use it, what a professional has recommended to you
  • Fit: whether you want more toe room or a narrower fit
  • Traction: if you want better grip, how deep the lugs are
  • The type of shoe against how you run: your terrain, weekly mileage, and whether you race
  • Cushioning: whether you want softer or firmer
  • How well it suits the kinds of runs you do, such as easy, long or fast
  • How close it is to the shoe you run in now, if you want something similar
  • Smaller factors: toe-box shape if you get blisters, softer cushioning if you want less discomfort, how long you've been running, a plate for racing, weight, brands you like, and the price range you prefer

What it doesn't consider

  • We don't ask you to judge your own pronation, and we never pick a shoe for a medical condition.
  • We don't yet consider waterproofing, rock plates or gaiter attachment.
  • We don't take an exact budget. You tell us the price range you prefer.
  • We don't yet judge whether a shoe runs true to size.

The shoes

These numbers were gathered from manufacturers, independent labs and retailers. The link beside each shoe goes to its main source, which may not show every number. We haven't verified them ourselves yet. Weights are for the reference size the source uses, and some shoes list one weight for all runners.
