Trail running shoes

353

Running on forest trails, mountain paths or uneven roads calls for special trail running shoes that deliver grip, protection and stability. We offer 200+ trail-specific models and colorways.

Trail running is increasingly popular — it combines exercise with nature, adventure and calm. But for those varied surfaces you need dedicated trail shoes. At MySport we stock a wide selection for everyone — from beginners to ultramarathoners.


What trail running shoes are available?

Our range includes durable, technical and versatile models for different surfaces and terrain. Compared to road shoes, trail shoes feature deeper lugs, a more stable sole, and reinforcements against rocks, roots and other natural obstacles.

You’ll find:

  • Lightweight, responsive models for faster trail runs
  • Shoes with more aggressive lugs for steeper and wetter trails
  • More cushioned models for long distances
  • Wider toe boxes for extra comfort
  • Water-resistant options for wet weather and winter
  • Models also suitable for easy hikes and walks
  • Plenty of options ideal for Stirnu buks and other trail races

How to choose trail running shoes?

Consider:

  • Terrain: forest, mountains, muddy and wet ground? The rougher it is, the more pronounced the tread you need.
  • Distance: lighter shoes for short runs; for ultradistance choose more comfort and toe room.
  • Waterproofing vs breathability: Gore-Tex and other membranes keep water out; in dry weather, mesh models breathe better.
  • Heel-to-toe drop: pick a drop that fits your technique — low drop suits more experienced runners.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How do trail shoes differ from road shoes?
Deeper tread, added rock protection and a more stable build — designed for uneven, changing terrain.
Can I run on asphalt in trail shoes?
You can, but it’s not recommended: the outsole will wear faster and feel less comfortable on hard surfaces. Use them only for short asphalt links.
Do I need a waterproof membrane?
Yes if you run in wet forests, winter or rain. For dry conditions, choose more breathable non-membrane models.
