Trail running (trailran) runs in various situations, including forest roads, bumpy roads, soil and gravel, on rocks, puddles, and paved roads.
Is it okay to use mountain climbing shoes or road running shoes used in the same nature? It's easy to think, but be careful not to run in the mountains.
First of all, about the characteristics of the toleran shoes
Outsole
Toleran shoes have higher grip to run on unstable roads. The characteristic is a protrusion called "lag". It is a part that demonstrates grip, and the length is different for each type of manufacturer and shoes.
There are various characteristics, such as models that can run in a well -balanced road and trail, models that emphasize sliding grip, and models that can speed up like road shoes.
Cushioning
Toleran shoes have good cushioning and harder so that they do not feel pain when stepping on stones and obstacles. (Depending on the type, there are also trailran shoes that are comfortable to wear close to bare foot barefoot).
If you often run on short distances with less unevenness, such as satoyama, the selection of shoes will vary depending on the "running distance" or "running place", such as a low cushion model or a high cushion model if you have many long trails.

Points of how to select troleran shoes
size
Make sure you can afford about 1cm from the toe to the tip of the shoes.We recommend + 1.3cm large size for the actual size of the foot.
When you run downhill, your toes will hurt your shoes with tight shoes.
Also, check that the heel is firmly held. If it is not fit, the shoes will take off or cause injury. Not only light injuries such as shoes rubbing, but also severe injuries such as sprains and dust damage can occur.
We also accept consultations on selection of size, so please feel free to contact us.

The environment is completely different depending on the location, such as fluffy trails, mountainous areas with many rocks and stones, muddy muddy in the rain, easy -to -run forest roads, and paved roads.
In the mountainous areas, you need to select a hard sole shoe, a model with a strong grip, a forest road or a easy -to -run trail, a course, a course, such as a model with shallow lags.
