Category - Trail runners have three key distinctions from regular running shoes. The outsole always has tread to provide grip; the midsole is relatively firmer for increased stability on more aggressive terrain, and the upper is made from more durable materials for durability and protect your feet. For runs on gravel to runs on mountains, trail runners are the optimal choice.
Weight - This shoe is relatively heavy and likely has added elements to enhance comfort, with a durable midsole that emphasizes protecting your legs and keeping them fresh.
Heel Drop - This shoe has a moderate heel-to-toe drop, making it ideal for midfoot strikers.
