Trail-specific shoes are essential to keep you running injury free (that includes rolled ankles, blisters, and falls). Look for a shoe that fits not only your foot, but the types of running that you do!
This means that you need to be aware of whether you have a narrow heel, wide mid-foot, or a high arch. You’ll need a deeper, more aggressive lug for muddy conditions, and a breathable upper for hot weather.
