Trail running shoes vs regular running shoes - what is the difference?

Trail running shoes are specially designed to be used on uneven surfaces such as rock, gravel, dirt and mud. The outsole of trail shoes has a deep thread, allowing optimal grip and stability. Regular running shoes are designed to be more lightweight and for smoother surfaces. Opt for men's trail running shoes if you are heading off-road for mountain running, fast-packing, adventure racing or obstacle course racing. Some features to look for in men's trail running shoes include:

• Outsole: Look for outsoles with deep treads for maximum grip and traction on touch surfaces.
• Midsole: Men's trail shoes should have specialised cushioning technologies for shock absorption and comfort during long runs.
• Upper: The upper should be light, protective and waterproof to withstand the elements.
• Toe Protection: When navigating the outdoors, ensure toes are protected with trail shoes that have toe caps.
• Weight: Trail shoes may be slightly heavier than traditional running shoes due to protective features. Modern trail shoes strike a balance between weight and features for the perfect fit.

Men's Running & Sports Shoes FAQ

How to clean running shoes

There are a range of different ways to keep your sports shoes looking their best. For regular maintenance and cleaning, many running shoes can be laundered in your washing machine - just make sure to check the manufacturer's instructions first! To start the cleaning process, remove any excess dirt from your runners, then remove the laces as well. Use a gentle machine cycle and a cold wash temperature to prevent colours from running or your shoes becoming misshapen. Adding a towel to the machine reduces the risk of sports shoes bouncing around and damaging the machine drum or the shoes themselves.

What's the difference between running shoes, sports shoes and cross trainers?

Running shoes, sports shoes, trail shoes and cross trainers are all designed to be as lightweight as possible, but keep in mind that each is designed to cater for a specific type of activity. Running shoes are purpose-built for forward, heel-to-toe motions so they help your feet withstand the repetitive impacts on the footpath or trail. Sports shoes such as cross trainers aren't intended to withstand the same level of impact force but can accommodate greater lateral forces that make them great all-rounders for different activities like gym workouts and aerobics. For this reason, it's important to match the shoe to the sport or workout you intend on doing to decrease your risk of developing injuries in your feet, knees and heels.

How to tie shoelaces on sports shoes

To minimise the risk of injury and to maximise the support your runners offer, it's important to correctly lace your shoes. Comfort and support are intertwined when it comes to sports shoes - your lacing technique should mean your shoe feels firm on the foot but not too tight! The "heel-lock" lacing method is designed to prevent slipping in your running shoes and is particularly beneficial for trail or long-distance runners.
