Running and trail shoes meet distinct needs depending on the terrain and type of activity.
Road running shoes are designed to offer lightness, cushioning, and responsiveness on asphalt and hard surfaces. They promote a smooth stride, good shock absorption, and optimal comfort for regular training, long runs, or road races.
Trail shoes are designed for running on natural, uneven terrain. They feature a more grippy sole, enhanced stability, and increased protection for the foot against rocks, roots, and debris. Some models also incorporate more durable materials or water-repellent membranes to cope with variable conditions.
Whether for road running or trail exploration, each type of shoe is designed to deliver performance, safety, and comfort in its specific environment.
