There’s a shoe for you wherever you care to venture and they all offer the latest in cushioning and traction for trail running adventures
VJ – MAXx2 – £149.00
With a new nitrogen-injected midsole, a trail shoe featuring ‘the best grip on the planet’ now has one of the best cushioning materials. Nitrogen-infused midsoles are being used by many leading brands and offer light and highly responsive cushioning that’s also very durable.
The brand has the stack height pitched perfectly for a trail model, with 31mm under the heel and a 6mm drop for a feel that works well on uneven surfaces.

Of course, the brand’s familiar and highly accomplished butyl rubber compound provides traction and gives a ‘sticky’ feel on a wide range of surfaces.
A one-piece, breathable upper has an anatomically shaped fit and provides both a durable and supportive fit while helping to keep the overall weight of the shoe to just 240g, giving a light and nimble feel to this off-road super-shoe.
Salomon – S/Lab Pulsar 3 – £190.00
Combining the features required of a fast-moving off-road shoe with the cushioning to allow daily trail running, the Pulsar 3 is the evolution of the brand’s premium off-roader.
Lightweight and dynamic, it offers a locked-in fit and great traction on any terrain.

Weighing just 205g, the shoe is race-day light yet doesn’t compromise on cushioning, giving a smooth and responsive ride.
The 4.5mm lugs are spread evenly across the base of the shoe and their chevron shape helps both when descending and climbing, adding confidence to each step.
The Matryx upper material is very durable yet super light and breathable. Its one-piece design stretches neatly over the foot for a secure hold and the familiar quick-lace rounds off the neat design.
Once on the foot, it offers such a close and reassuring fit that it feels like a natural extension of the body, connecting you to the ground for fast and confident running.
