Technical Trail & Mountain
Technical trail and mountain shoes feature aggressive lugs (4-6mm+), rock plates, sticky rubber compounds (Vibram Megagrip, FriXion), and reinforced uppers designed for steep, rocky, and technical terrain. Built for grip and protection over speed, these excel at scrambling, fell running, and fast mountain terrain where precise foot placement matters.
