Trail Trainers

Trail trainers are the daily-driver shoes for off-road running, featuring moderate tread (3-4mm lugs), balanced cushion-to-protection ratios, durable rubber outsoles, and versatile performance across most non-technical terrain. The trail equivalent of road daily trainers, these handle everything from groomed paths to moderate singletrack.
