Buying Trail Running Shoes for Men

With the right trail running shoes for men you will stay comfortable during your trail runs. Good trail shoes allow you to enjoy and work through the toughest trails out there. There is a lot of difference between trail running shoes. Therefore it is important to inform yourself about what types there are and which would be best for you before purchasing a pair.

Men’s trail running shoes are all about the right amount of grip and the right fit, but also about the type of trail you are going to run. If you opt for trail races, we recommend you to take a lightweight pair of trail trainers. For beginning trail runners it is advisable to have a good look at the outsole and the amount of traction it will offer. The more structured the profile, the more grip you will experience during trail runs on unpaved paths.



Every runner is unique, but don’t worry, there’s a suitable trail running shoe for everyone. Men usually weigh a bit more and are usually built a bit bigger than most women. Trail shoes for men therefore are also wider and trail shoes for women a bit narrower. Trail running shoes for men are a bit heavier and sturdier than those for women. This ensures more stability and rigidity during trail runs.

Clothing for trail running


Trail shoes aren’t the sole piece of equipment which help to transform a simple mud run into a perfect trail. Perfect trails require a bit more preparation. Circumstances in which normal runs and trail runs are run differ greatly; just think of the difference in weather, temperature, height and underground. When trail running, it usually is a good idea to dress warmly. Brands like Salomon, Inov-8, Compressport, Falke and Nike sell men's clothing and accessories which are specially made for trail running. Compressport, for example, offers trail running socks and Inov-8 offers running gloves both expressly made for men.


Some men like to wear trail running shoes instead of heavy men’s hiking boots. For some hikes, tough and stern hiking shoes are not always ideal. Try a pair of trail running shoes instead. They usually are a bit more flexible and quick than heavy and clunky hiking boots.
