Women's trail shoes
At BeUrban, you'll find women's trail running shoes from Brooks, Hoka, Nike, NNormal, Asics, New Balance and Altra. There are models for tracks and paths, for technical mountain terrain with rocks and mud, and for long-distance ultras, with grippy soles, rock protection and waterproof Gore-Tex versions.
How to choose trail shoes based on the terrain?
- Tracks and easy trails: road-style cushioning and a low lug. For example, Nike Pegasus Trail or Brooks Divide.
- Technical mountain terrain: deep lugs (4-5 mm), good foot support and a rock plate. For example, Brooks Cascadia, NNormal Tomir, Hoka Speedgoat or Nike Wildhorse.
- Long distance and ultras: more foam to withstand the hours, such as Hoka Mafate Speed, Nike Zegama, Asics Trabuco Max or Brooks Caldera.
- Mud, rain or snow: waterproof Gore-Tex (GTX) versions, such as the Hoka Speedgoat 6 GTX.
What should I look for in the sole?
Pay attention to the lug depth and the rubber compound. Compounds like Vibram Megagrip grip better on wet rock, and separated lugs shed mud more effectively.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use trail shoes on asphalt?
Yes, on short sections, but the lugs wear out faster and the stride is stiffer. To alternate between both terrains, a hybrid shoe like the Pegasus Trail is the best option.
Trail shoes with or without Gore-Tex?
With Gore-Tex if you run in cold weather, rain or snow. In summer or when crossing rivers, it's better without a membrane, because it breathes and dries faster.
What trail shoe size do I need?
Normally half a size larger than for asphalt, so that your toes don't touch the toe box on descents.
