Trail shoes in Black Friday

Which pair to choose for running on trails without breaking the bank? This page brings together trail shoes for Black Friday, for women, men and juniors. Filter by brand, size, type, and drop to find the pair that suits your terrain, whether it's smooth, rocky, or muddy.

Trail shoes during the operation

This page gathers the selection of shoes from the trail running section. It is wide: just a few filters are enough to make it readable.

The grid features more brands than the other trail pages, with shoes for adults, juniors, and babies. Set the brand or type filter first, then the size filter, to keep the page readable.

Try on your pair at the end of the day if possible, when your foot has swollen, and with your running socks: it's the best way to check the size.

Choosing based on the terrain

On smooth paths, a lightweight and cushioned pair is enough. On technical trails, look for better grip and support. On muddy ground, the tread matters more than the weight. The drop, the height difference between heel and forefoot, should be chosen based on your running habits.

A treaded sole grips well on dirt and mud, while a lower sole rolls better on dry paths. A reinforced toe protects your toes on rocky surfaces. For very long runs, prioritise comfort and a bit of space at the front.

Also, check the width of the shoe: a wide foot needs a more generous fit at the front, especially downhill where the toes slide.

The brands that dominate the selection

The selection is based on adidas, La Sportiva, Puma, Mizuno, and Saucony. Each brand has its ranges and cuts: compare them based on terrain rather than name. For outdoor brands, also check the shoe page, which is broader.

adidas holds the largest share of pairs, followed by La Sportiva, Puma, Mizuno, and Saucony. Each has its fit: a narrower brand may not necessarily suit a wide foot. Compare it with the guide on the sheet.

About the shoes

Pair your shoes with breathable shirts, a jacket or windbreaker for the mountains, and textile accessories like a headband or cap.

A pair of trail shoes should be complemented with suitable socks and a bag or water vest. On long runs, keep a spare pair for the end of the race or the descent.

Other ways to run for less

The trail clearance, trail sales, running sales, and new arrivals offer other options.

Last season's pairs can be found in the trail clearance, while new products are on the dedicated page. Compare the upper, drop, and sole rather than just the name of the model to find the useful pair.
