Trail Running Shoes Vs. Road Shoes

November 15th, 2009      Comments

Check out Coach Sherry’s column in the Arizona Daily Sun about the benefits of trail running shoes.

“Many runners would rather take their chances with a sprained ankle or bruised foot than trade in their favorite road runners for the running equivalent of a tractor trailer. Want to add a little more difficulty to 30-minute climb on a 15 percent grade at 8,000 feet? Throw on a pair of trail shoes from about 10 years ago. Fortunately, a lot has changed in 10 years. Technology has advanced and every major running shoe manufacturer offers a lightweight, stable, protective, breathable trail running shoe.”

    Based on the fact the you like the Mizuno Wave Rider, I would suggest the Ascend. It’s build on the mid-sole of Mizuno’s Wave Precision, which is one of their light weight neutral road shows (similar to the rider with a bit less cushion). There is no “rock plate” so it will have a smooth ride for a bit of road running, but the tread is ample and will serve you well on the trails. Keep in mind that the mid-soles of trail shoes are typically more dense for added stability and protection on rough terrain, so they’ll never be as soft for road use.
