Which shoes offer the best cushioning for ultra trail running?
During an ultra-long distance trail run, your joints are heavily tested. As you'll be spending from 10 hours (for elite runners) to over 40 hours on the trails, it's crucial to ‘run’ with the best possible trail running shoe. It should be comfortable, to help you perform at your best.
Therefore, it needs excellent cushioning to absorb shocks and vibrations better on the roughest parts of the trail. In this respect, the Trabuco Max 2 from Asics, for instance, will be your ideal partner for your greatest adventures. With more Stack than previous versions, the quality of the cushioning is enhanced, while elsewhere, FF Blast Plus offers exceptional rebound.
Which shoes are ideal for short distance trail running?
Unlike ultra trail running shoes, short distance trail running shoes should match your primary goal: speed! To achieve this, they should be light and fit closely to the foot. The sole should be thin enough to let you feel the terrain better, while providing maximum grip. Depending on the weather conditions during your run, lug profile should be chosen accordingly. Indeed, a dry, compact single track doesn't require the same specs as a wet or muddy trail.
The Supercross 4 by French brand Salomon is perfect for muddy trails. Its deeply lugged Mud Contagrip sole equipped with 5mm studs offers powerful grip on short trails. On the other hand, on the driest terrains, the Fuji Lite 3 from Asics will stand out for its grip, thanks to the Asicsgrip sole.
Trail running shoes for hiking and mountain trekking
Today, trail running shoes are also appealing to mountain hiking enthusiasts. While they are less robust, they are lighter and grip as well as conventional hiking shoes. Thus, depending on your activity and terrain, various types of trail running shoes are available to you. In this context, in winter or wet conditions, the Akyra GTX from La Sportiva, with its Goretex membrane, will keep your feet warm and dry. When the sun is at its zenith, with the Merrell Trail Agility Peak 4 trail running shoe, you will safely cover miles during long walking days.
