Ground
Trail running shoes designed for soft ground feature deep, aggressive lugs that grip in the mud, while models made for firm and rocky terrain have shallower treads and the most durable rubber compounds.
Cushion type
Models with a soft midsole foam feel plush and cushioned underfoot for extended running comfort. Firmer midsole foams offer increased energy return, enabling fast and efficient transitions to keep the pace high.
Cushion amount
Running shoes with minimal cushioning keep you close to the ground, offering better feedback and a barefoot feel. In contrast, maximal cushioning provides increased shock absorption, helping to reduce impact on your bones and joints.
