Shoes for all trail enthusiasts

Shoes designed specifically for trail running

If you like to run on steep terrain, it is essential to use trail shoes that have the characteristics required for this kind of activity. It would be a big mistake to think that a standard pair of shoes will do. It is a question of safety and comfort above all. Indeed, trail shoes have their own special features. But it depends on the type of terrain. If you are running on trails, your trainers should have low stiffness and a midsole with minimal cushioning. The outsole has small studs. For technical terrain, a rigid construction is preferred for good foot support. Trainers designed for this type of terrain have a cushioning midsole to absorb vibrations, especially on downhill runs. They are also equipped with gripping lugs that offer maximum stability and grip, allowing the runner to negotiate turns without slipping. There are also protective reinforcements such as stone guards. And for mountain outings such as the Mont Blanc Ultra Trail and the Ventoux Trail, the shoes have a very rigid construction to avoid twisting the foot and ankle. The models also incorporate very resistant materials such as polyurethane and waterproof membranes. And, of course, there are also gripping studs and protective reinforcements.
