Instead the Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX shoes offer plenty of padding, protection and comfort. They are waterproof, too, with great responsive grip, and they excel on the muddy, slippery terrain that would leave most other shoes floundering. That responsiveness means you can run at a decent lick on sketchy terrain and keep your feet well cushioned over longer distances too. Overall, they&#8217;re an ideal choice for day-long trail adventures and wet-weather training runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Read our full <a href=\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/review\/brooks-cascadia-17-gtx-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Brooks Cascadia 17 GTX review<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kelseymedia-blocks-block-squirrel-in-content-widget\"><div class=\"c-squirrel-embed \"><div class=\"squirrel_widget\" data-squirrel-id=\"13027547\" data-loaded=\"false\" data-style-id=\"In content widget\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"713\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Nike-Pegasus-Trail-4.jpg?w=713\" alt=\"Nike Pegasus Trail 4\" class=\"wp-image-28155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Nike-Pegasus-Trail-4.jpg 713w, https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Nike-Pegasus-Trail-4.jpg?resize=300,234 300w, https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/04\/Nike-Pegasus-Trail-4.jpg?resize=562,439 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 713px) 100vw, 713px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-nike-pegasus-trail-4\">6.

It complements the responsive FuelCell foam found in the SC Elite with a tougher, more resilient foam to give you confidence inspiring stability and enhanced durability. The forked carbon plate creates a light and punchy ride, too, allowing you to push anything up to 5km trail race pace.

These rugged running shoes have more aggressive rubber outsoles with deeper lugs to provide better grip and traction on slippery surfaces. Lug depth and patterns vary, with deeper lugs and aggressive lug patterns offering stickier grip in mud and more surface traction. If you\u2019re running from road to trail or on firmer ground, shallower lugs provide grip without holding you back.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Some trail shoes also have reinforced uppers with toe-guard overlays around the toe box to protect your pinkies from accidental encounters with rocks and roots. They can also feature rock plates to prevent the lumps and bumps coming up through the midsole to batter your feet. This all tends to make them heavier than road shoes.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Speaking of battered feet, heading off road onto uneven ground creates a bigger challenge for your feet and ankles.\u202f That requires more support and stability. So trail shoes tend to have features to help, including a more robust build with increased structure in the heel, side walls and different midsole technology to ensure you have a reliable platform for picking your way along the paths.\u202f\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">There\u2019s also a new trend for trail shoes to offer protection against water. Breathable GORE-Tex coatings are now common in a bid to keep feet dry. Though nothing\u2019s going to prevent soggy socks if you go ankle deep into a big puddle, mind.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Some road-shoe DNA is now being transferred to trail shoes, too. That includes livelier, lightweight responsive foams, carbon plates and more aggressive superlight racy designs.\u202f\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>When should you wear trail shoes?<\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Trail running covers a very wide variety of terrain, including steep grassy fells, rocky mountain climbs and uneven coastal paths. Then there\u2019s flat gravel paths that run alongside rivers, through forests or in parks. They can be clear, wide and groomed; steep, wild and muddy; and even sandy or slippery. Basically any time you venture off the road onto uneven, unpredictable terrain, you&#8217;ll want to consider lacing up a trail shoe. Though in drier, flatter, more groomed conditions, sometimes road shoes can still get the job done. And we\u2019re seeing a big trend for do-it-all road-to-trail shoes that offer good versatility across a wider range of terrain.\u202f<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related content:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/features\/how-to-choose-a-trail-shoe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to choose a trail shoe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/review\/best-running-socks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best running socks<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mensfitness.co.uk\/review\/trail-shoes-vs-road-shoes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trail shoes vs road shoes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We round up the best trail running shoes for tackling technical terrain<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":32,"featured_media":21955,"parent":0,"template":"multi-product-review.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"amazon_asin_number":"","model":"","featured_image_overlay_img":"","hjpType":"affiliate","squirrel_render_by":"","squirrel_id":""},"tags":[149,24,80],"review-category":[376],"review-brand":[504,506,480,588,478,503],"review-type":[488],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.5 (Yoast SEO v23.5) -
