Trail Running Shoes

I agree, they do help especially if the trails are rocky. I run in Brooks Trail runners. LOVE them. They run true to size for me. I have the Adrenaline. LOVE them. Will get another pair when these go.

Yes, you really do need to try them on - too bad you can't rent shoes for the weekend - there's an idea!

The Brooks Cascadia has great traction (like other trail shoes they make), but way too much padding for me -- if I could be a barefoot runner I would. I don't like not feeling the ground with my foot. I am one of those people who never wear shoes unless they have to.

My local running store guy just switched me into Brooks Ghosts and said that I had 30 days to run the crap outta them and to bring them back if they weren't working. So although I'm not recommending that you abuse the policy, you may be able to exchange them after a week or two. So far I'm still as slow as ever, but I kinda don't think I can blame the shoes.
