Specific traits
Also known as trail running, a trail running shoe is quite different from an asphalt shoe. While training on hard asphalt surfaces the emphasis is on improving cushioning, when running on trails, the ground underneath the shoe bounces back and provides additional boost, so cushioning is not that important. For off-road sneakers, the following features are characteristic:

The sole of the sneaker has an impressive tread with a deep pattern. The rubber outsole, unlike the asphalt sole, is soft and not as durable. When used on asphalt, it will wear off quickly, but its advantage is excellent traction on the soil and a variety of terrain off-road.

The last of the Rough Terrain Shoe is stiffer than others for a secure, tight fit in the shoe. This provides additional protection against dislocation.

The extra protection in the forefoot of the shoe protects the toes from bruises and fractures, which is especially important when jogging on rocky terrain. In addition, the toe part of the shoe should bend well, because the rough terrain involves descents and ascents.

Since the terrain on rough terrain is characterized by its heterogeneity, sneakers for running on it must have a system to protect the feet from dislocation. It is especially important to choose a shoe with these properties for beginner runners, since the sneaker, which is maximally fixed on the foot, will better protect the feet that are not used to stress.

For the upper part of the off-road sneaker, only dense materials are used to protect against bruises and small particles getting into the sneaker.Plus, many trekking shoes have a waterproof fabric for added comfort.

It should be remembered that the pleasure of training and their effectiveness directly depends on how comfortable the sneaker is on the foot. Therefore, before buying, you should:
- Try on shoes with training socks. This will allow you to choose the right shoe size in which the foot will not wobble or sit too tight.
- Check whether the structure of the shoe fits perfectly to the leg: it does not rub or press anywhere.
- Pay attention to the tread pattern at the outsole. Modern sneaker models of some brands suggest the presence of different treads for different types of off-road: sandy and clay areas, forest swampy trails and even winter ice.
