Trail shoe suitable for everyday use

Anonymous runner · Jul 3, 2019

5/5

Overall

Replaced the Trailroc 235/245 from a few years ago, as a low/zero drop shoe with enough cushioning to run on stones, and to cover a lot of road miles. Wide toe box, grips the foot well, comfortable enough for a long run (including ultras up to ~100 k) and light and fast enough for short road races. Good on most surfaces, not quite grippy enough on mud for cross country though.
