Womens Trail Shoes

A trail running shoe is a type of running shoe specifically designed for off-road running on trails, rocky terrain, dirt paths, and other natural surfaces. These shoes are engineered to provide the necessary traction, protection, and stability required for running in rugged outdoor environments.

Key features of trail running shoes include:

 1.  Durable Outsole: Trail running shoes are equipped with rugged outsoles that feature aggressive lugs or multidirectional treads to provide traction on various surfaces, including loose dirt, mud, rocks, and uneven terrain.
 2.  Rock Plate: Many trail running shoes have a rock plate or protective layer in the midsole to shield the foot from sharp rocks, roots, and other obstacles encountered on the trail.
 3.  Toe Bumper: A reinforced toe bumper at the front of the shoe helps protect the toes from impacts and debris on the trail.
 4.  Water-resistant or Quick-drying Materials: Some trail running shoes feature water-resistant uppers or quick-drying materials to keep the feet dry and comfortable when running through wet or muddy conditions.
 5.  Stability and Support: Trail running shoes may offer additional stability features, such as a supportive midsole or a slightly wider platform, to help prevent ankle rolls and provide stability on uneven terrain.
 6.  Lightweight Construction: Despite their rugged design, trail running shoes are typically lightweight to provide agility and responsiveness on the trail.
 7.  Breathability: Many trail running shoes feature breathable mesh uppers to allow for ventilation and airflow, keeping the feet cool and comfortable during long runs.

Trail running shoes are ideal for runners who enjoy exploring nature and seeking adventure on trails. Whether you’re tackling technical mountain terrain or enjoying a leisurely jog through the woods, a well-designed trail running shoe can provide the comfort, protection, and traction needed to tackle any trail with confidence.

inov-8 MudTalon Storm Blue / Navy Blue Meet the MUDTALON: a trail & fell running shoe for everyday training over any distance on soft and muddy ground.  Built for hills, mountains and mud, the MUDTALON provides superior grip on any terrain you'll encounter. Talon-like 8mm studs will gouge through soft mud, but also cling to wet rock for dependable grip and traction. The unique goat's hoof shape of the studs also release the mud just as quick once you push off, keeping you feeling light and in control. The MUDTALON benefits from our lightest midsole foam yet: POWERFLOW PRO. Compared to the MUDTALON SPEED, the MUDTALON has a slightly thicker midsole, to give greater comfort and bounce over long distances. Despite the cushioning, the shoe's midsole has been designed in such a way that you can still feel and respond to the ground beneath you - something that's particularly important when running in the hills and mountains. The brand-new anatomical shape of the MUDTALON hugs the natural contours of your foot, locking in at the heel and widening at the toes for a secure, comfortable feel. Built into that we have two new specific fits for MUDTALON - Precision Fit and Wide Fit. The biggest difference between the two fits is the width at the toe-box, with the Wide fit being wider: - Go Precision Fit if you have narrow feet or like a closer, more secure feel. It allows for greater nimbleness and agility when running and contouring over steep or tricky terrain. - Go Wide Fit if you have wider feet or like an extra comfortable feel with more wiggle room for toes. It allows for greater comfort when running longer distances, when toes can often swell. A secure, locked-in feel at the heel is achieved by a MET-CRADLE. Thick overlay strips connect your midfoot to your heel, which pulls in when you tighten your laces. Underfoot, a flexible ROCK-PLATE protects your feet against sharp rocks and tree roots. The MUDTALON's tough upper is made from ballistic nylon. This rugged and robust material will protect against wear from vegetation and rocks when in the hills and mountains. If you're looking for an everyday training shoe for soft and muddy ground, the MUDTALON has all the grip, cushioning and protective features you could wish for.
