We
love trail running and our trail shoe selection proves it. It
is such a great way to get off road, away from civilization,
and become a better, stronger runner.
The uneven surfaces will help improve balance and strength while balancing the development of leg, knee, ankle, and foot muscles and tissues.
When first starting to trail run, choose easier, less demanding trails until you become accustomed to the new aspects of trail running.
Trail
shoes are made for the trails and only the trails...mostly.
True, you can run short distances on roads to get to trailheads, but longer distances may cause problems for many runners,
namely sore shins.
Trail
shoes are different from road shoes in many ways. They are
more durable and therefore often heavier than road shoes because
of the extra-beefy uppers.
Trail
shoes can also be stiffer for extra stability for running
on uneven and unstable surfaces.
Trail
shoes are often lower profile than road shoes to add more
stability.
Because
trails are softer and more forgiving than the roads, trail
shoes usually don't offer the cushioning or feel as soft as
road shoes.
All
said, trail shoes are for the trails and road shoes can do
double duty as long as the trail is not too technical.
We
have trail maps for the
Wasatch
Front for $12.00.

WRC is a proud sponsor of the
