It depends on the trail. Road-running shoes will work just fine on smooth, groomed trails with few rocks. If you already own a pair of running shoes, you can always give a trail a try with those before deciding to spring for a.Because you aren’t expected to use your muscles (or shoes) to propel the belt into motion, the amount of friction the bottom of your shoes will experience is minimal. This means that you will be able to run on the treadmill in pretty much any shoe you want, including trail running shoes.
Because of the softer rubber, wearing trail-running shoes on the road, where they will regularly pound and rub on hard pavement, can wear the soles out more quickly than if you stick to the softer surface of a trail. Road-running shoes have flatter, less-knobby soles to create a stable, consistent surface for running on paved roads.Choosing shoes for running on gravel roads can be tricky. Most companies market their shoes for either road running or trail running.
Running on gravel can be a bit like either of these. To make the choice easier, focus on the type of gravel you’ll encounter, the conditions in which you run and other activities in which you participate.If it’s a paved nature trail, even a pair of city sneakers can handle it.

Trail running and mud running shoes should have a level of durability to withstand the elements they’ll be put against. Make sure to also choose a shoe with the right weight as off road running shoes can range from lightweight to sturdier models.

I don’t agree. I spent 23 years in the US Army wearing all types of footwear. NOTHING beats a GORE-TEX shoe or boot . You mention water getting your shoe and getting trapped inside? How much water do you get inside your footwear lol ?! In all my years of outdoor travels I’ve NEVER had so much water in my footwear that couldn’t turn into vapor and escape through the GORE-TEX membrane. If you have pools of water inside your footwear that can’t escape through a GORE-TEX membrane I’m wondering if your footwear is fitted correctly… seriously.
Just wondering if water will not come in from the top if you run through a field…
Thanks for the explanation of the differences. Have wondered about that. Well done video.
Definitely one of your best videos. Entertaining af and still informative, which is kinda the opposite of nonsense.
And that intro man
There is a professor of anthropology by the name of daniel lieberman who I think has many interesting things to say about running, look him up on youtubeif you are someone interested in running…
I use asics gel cumulus gt-x as my running shoes but I use asics effort LD spikes for races on soft trails.
From my personal experience, at 51 years old, trail running doesn’t bother my knees or lower back anywhere near what street running does. I like lifting weights also, deadlifts, squats, and such, and if I were to do street running there is no way my body could also do these other exercises. But I can if I just do trail running, and/or something like mountain biking.
“Mix them up”
But the only thing that really mixes up things is a trail.
AHA! I found my trail-run shoe! I’m gonna get this baby next week to try!
If the sole on trail shoes is “stickier” for better grip as the young lady states, then surely the sole will attract grit, dust and debris and straight away lose render its stickiness useless. I could be wrong but I don’t think formula 1 type grip is really applicable here except as sales bull shit
Makes us think why us regular runners have thought about triathlons training or the ironman (variety) and in the other direction of staying as a distance runner and moving to ultra…. but being flexible and running, swimming core and on the bike….. I think happens naturally get an injury as a runner, and you return to the bike, gym or pool….
Good video, says it like it is. Takes out all the fad and hype so many runners go through and gets to the point.
Visited the western cape a few months ago, didn’t get to run though, but did hike up lions head. I want to spend more time in die kaap, and running there seems way fun.
Great information and spot on. This guy has his finger on the pulse of running
I’m an n=1 but I feel like my knees tend to hurt after a treadmill run, which I dont typically notice when I run outside. Anyone else feel this?
Can’t believe this video didn’t get the views it deserves. For all the corporate campaigns targeted to selling a particular product, this video gives the most practical advice. Approaching running with an awareness of what you are putting your physiology through is the best advice you can get, for a new/non-pro runner/athlete. Thank you!
I’m 16 seconds in to this video, and hooked due to the 80’s synth…. The remaining 5mins odd better be good haha!
Information is provided practical: thank you. One question I swear i have been doing trail running but suddenly one question arises Is any speed expected while doing the trail because I love variation of speed in my trail and mostly you have to follow what fits you on the moment. Glad to hear community comments back
Is this a good 100 mile shoe for rail trail and crushed rock?
Brushy Creek in Cedar Park, nice. Any chance these got some time on deception or any other technical trails
I’m gonna have to give this a try. I love the Clifton but not the width and I use the Clifton on trails. This in wide might be ideal. Thanks and great video of running, how’d you get nice smooth footage especially on the rail road tracks? Thanks for the review.
I would like to ask if you have to run with a heel to toe strike with all hoka shoes due to the meta-rocker design?
I tried the speedgoats and they ran just a little to narrow for me do these fit like speedgoats?
Damn that’s actually a pair of Hokas that don’t make me puke at first sight!
Then I saw the outsole and I changed my mind…
Good video. I loathe trail running because of the rough uneven terrain. But I understand that variety is important.
Thanks for your video and your perseverance with Hoka. The outsole seems less grippy than the Challenger ATR 3 (and 4, which was the same). Would be curious to see if the upper lasts longer than the 3’s which was falling apart after less than 200k. Also, the wide versions of the Hoka shoes do not seem to always be available outside of the US. The price seems to have gone up as well at almost 200CAD/145USD. Better to wait as within 7-8 month, the shoe can certainly be found at 30USD less as it is the case for the 4’s now. Very thorough review in any case, thanks again.
Hey Jamie, this little Lady rocks!!! And btw great video!!!
Every of your videos like this is so unique and fun to watch! Keep it up!
