Mens Trail Running Shoes FAQ's
Is it ok to walk in trail running shoes?
Yes, walking in trail running shoes for a short period or daily errands is perfectly fine, and will even provide your feet with ample comfort and support. However, it is not recommended to walk long distances on roads or pavements continuously, as it will quickly wear down the rubber soles that are formulated for trails.
What’s the difference between trail running shoes and normal running shoes?
Trail running shoes are specifically designed to provide your feet with comfort, support, and stability on uneven terrain. The lugs on the soles help grip on trails. Road running, however, impacts your feet differently, requiring flexibility and lightweight designs to maximise speed on the road.
Can you hike in trail runners?
Yes, you can hike in trail runners, provided that your chosen trail does not require dedicated hiking boots or technical footwear.
Can I wear trail runners on a treadmill?
While you can use trail runners on a treadmill, it is not recommended, as it might impact your natural stride. Treadmills are smooth surfaces and don’t require the lugs seen on trail running shoes. Not only could you risk damaging the treadmill, but also, your natural stride might feel uncomfortable.
How to choose the right size in a trail runner?
Many people don’t realise that running shoes typically need to be one or a half a size larger than your typical shoe size, to accommodate your sock and foot swelling when running. When choosing trail running shoes, it is always a good idea to try them on or consult the size guide to find the right fit. There should be enough room in the front of the shoe to avoid unnecessary pressure on your toes.
