While not covered in this article, there are trail shoes with 7- to 8-millimeter deep lugs, such as the inov-8 Mudtalon Speed, that work well in extremely muddy conditions.
While we tried to be non-technical and avoid jargon in describing the shoes in this guide, there are some terms common to the trail running world that those new to it might not know. Some shoes, particularly specialist shoes meant for shorter distance racing, very technical terrain, or very steep conditions, may have a more “precise” fit in the toebox, but you still don’t want your toes smashed together.
That was the title I gave to the career development session that I facilitated on Friday for 60 year 10 students at St Martin-in-the-Fields High School for Girls. Trail shoes with thick midsoles and/or very deep lugs might skip a rock plate altogether if those components provide adequate separation between the trail and the sole of the foot. For many trail runners, it’s their everyday trail shoe, from a short spin on the roads to an easy run in the local park to a 100-mile race across rugged terrain. For wider-than-usual toeboxes, check out the Altra Lone Peak 8, Altra Olympus 5, or Topo Terraventure 4.
