Always I was in search of the shoe that felt the best to my feet and to my legs and body. <br /><br />Currently, I am using Brooks running shoes because I feel they give me the best opportunity for staying injury free and feet/leg respond well to them. <br /><br />Yeah, if you are running McAlpine then you really don't need a trail shoe. But for the WWC trail, having a good trail shoes will help. One thing that you will find is the trail shoes have a stiff sole to them. This is to provide protection against rocks and roots. <br /><br />My trail shoes last a little longer for a few reasons. I only use them on Trails, and I don't run on trails every day. Also running on trails doesn't beat up trails shoes like the road or concert does with your normal running shoes. <br /><br />I probably get close to twice the miles out of them. <br /><br />Currently, I am using the Brooks Cascadia shoes.Cool Down Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13826301593012369401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3885471963370929775.post-76217283465831042432010-04-03T09:55:27.775-04:002010-04-03T09:55:27.775-04:00Thanks for the info.

Are you loyal to only one particular brand of shoe or do you always go with what shoe feels best to you no matter which brand? I am also new to trail running and have not yet bought a specific trail shoe. Any thoughts on picking trail shoes? I have run on McAlpine Grenway with my regular shoes and had no trouble. I have recently run at the Whitewater Center and wished I had a shoe with better traction. Also is the retirement for trail shoes the same for road shoes?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
