Buying Trail Running Shoes for Women
Good trail running shoes for women offer the right amount of traction, have a durable upper and have an enclosing fit which doesn’t allow dirt to enter the shoes. To be able to focus on cross-country runs you want your women’s trail shoes to be of outstanding quality. There is a wide variety of trail shoes available for women, but which ones are best for you? This first of all really depends on the type of trail you are going to run. If you opt for a trail running competition, we recommend women 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. To pick the right trail shoes for you it is very important to consider the amount of grip you want, which is the best fit for you and what type of trail you want to run.
Every runner has her own running style, and every trail requires a unique approach. Women usually weigh less than men. Trail shoes for women therefore are also lighter of weight and more flexible than those of men, which are characterised by sturdiness and density. Although female trail shoes are more flexible, they still know to offer the right amount of grip. This means that you will always be very responsive during trail runs, also on unpaved surfaces.

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 women'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 women.
Some women like to wear trail running shoes instead of heavy women’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.
