Trail running through diverse terrain, weather and elevation calls for a completely different kind of running shoe. Getting out on the trails with varying surfaces, inclines and steep declines requires a rugged sole for traction, higher top for ankle support and durable material for weather.

Asics

Both men and women reviewed the Asics GEL-Scram to be a great-fitting performance shoe. The heavy tread and durable fabric make these runners a great entry-level shoe for trail running. Take them outside hiking, jogging and trekking through low–moderate-intensity trails. They are recommended for normal-sized arches and range $70–80, depending on the make.

Merrell

Merrell All Out Crush Light sneakers are great for mud runs and outdoor challenges, with a light mesh exterior and protective toecap front. For both men and women runners, the Crush Lights are a durable shoe for rugged runs while remaining light and breathable for changing climate and terrain. Typically around $45, runners get a lot of bang for their buck.

Adidas

The Adidas Terrex Swift R GTX hiking shoes may be lightweight, but they really perform on the mountain. The durable and waterproof material allows runners to train through any weather and landscape with added cushioning and support. The lace bungee ensures quick lacing with a snug fit and the high-traction outsole provides grip in all conditions. At $130 a pair, these runners are for high-resistance running and outdoor activities.
