Understanding the different types of shoes:
Not all shoes are the same: each terrain requires a different sole, grip and level of stability.
- Road shoes are designed for hard, regular surfaces: asphalt, pavements, compacted paths.
- Trail shoes are made for natural, uneven terrain: mud, rocks, roots and descents.
- Gravel shoes bridge the gap between road and trail and are versatile for trails and routes with little technical difficulty.
ROAD SHOE (Smoother sole, asphalt, gravel, track)
TRAIL SHOE (Excellent grip, woods, trail, mountain, mud)
GRAVEL SHOE (Moderate grip, all-terrain, multi-surface)"No technical criterion — drop, stack, cushioning, weight or stability — can on its own determine the right shoe for a runner. "
