If you\u2019re into running or hiking, you know that there are different types of shoes to choose from. Some people like to use trail runners for hiking and some people use running shoes on trails. You can find a wide range of shoes that function fine in different environments, so which ones should you get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have the funds get both road running shoes and trail running shoes. If I could only choose one, I would choose a trail runner if my time on and off the road is fairly equal and a road running shoe if I spend 80% or more time on the road. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n It can still be confusing because there are so many variations of shoes. With so many options to choose from, many people find themselves asking that same question, “Which shoe should I get?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The days an all-in-one sports shoes are gone<\/strong>. Today we have very specialized shoes that are made to meet the needs of more specific groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We do still have sneakers<\/strong>, but these shoes aren’t specifically meant for running. We need to think about the terrains, weather, and climate we run in to get the best idea of the shoe we need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Some people claim that trail runners work great for running on the street as well. Each is different, so you’ll need to consider the tread, cushioning, and stability <\/strong>of the shoe if you’re looking at a shoe that can work on and off the streets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I have been on several dirt trails that were mostly flat using regular road running shoes and they worked just fine. But most of the time I run on the road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the weight<\/strong> of the shoe is a concern many trail runners are around 10-11 oz.<\/strong> which is not much higher than many road running shoes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Lastly, I would consider the durability of the shoe. Some trail runners have a softer grippy tread that might wear down quicker on the street. They may also have weatherproofing or protections that road shoes don’t have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, some shoes use EVA, PU, or a mixture of higher and lower-density foams. A denser foam will last longer but not cushion as much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There’s a lot to think about, but I think it comes down to your preference and the shoe’s function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ll discuss the differences between trail runners and running shoes, as well as whether it\u2019s worth you buying a pair of each, or just using one pair for both activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
