Running Shoes - Women

Trail running shoes are specially designed for runs off paved paths. They provide optimal grip on rocky, muddy, or slippery trails with a sturdy, treaded sole. The reinforced upper material protects the feet from stones, roots, and dirt, while the shoes remain flexible and lightweight. Compared to regular road running shoes, they are better suited to technical terrain. You can find out more about the sport in our blog post: “What is Trail Running?”.

When buying outdoor and trail running shoes, the size, fit, cushioning, and sole are crucial. The shoes should fit a bit bigger, provide secure support, and match the terrain. Robust, breathable material and waterproof membranes when necessary are also important to ensure comfort and dry feet on all terrain. What you need to look out for and more expert tips can be found in our blog post "How to Trail Run: Equipment & Technique Tips".

During longer runs, your feet can swell a bit, so there should be about a thumb’s width of space at the front of the shoe. It’s best to try on the shoes in the afternoon or evening and wear the running socks you’ll be using. That way, you make sure the shoes fit comfortably, aren’t too tight, and have enough room for swollen feet.
