Trails can be rough on your feet, and the right shoe makes all the difference. These are trail shoes I trust for everything from daily dirt miles to long ultramarathons. Whether you're running smooth singletrack or "rocks of death" terrain, these shoes provide the grip, cushioning, and protection needed to keep your feet happy for the long haul.

On Men's Cloudultra Pro Trail-Running Shoes by On — The Cloudultra Pro has become one of my favorite shoes for technical, rocky terrain. I love the nylon plate in this shoe—it does an incredible job protecting the forefoot from sharp rocks and constant trail abuse. When you're out on those "rocks of death" trails where every step makes you question your life choices and fear the pain coming through your shoes, the Cloudultra Pro gives you the confidence to keep moving. The protection is outstanding without making the shoe feel overly stiff, making it a great option for long days in rough terrain.
Nike Men's Zegama 2 Trail-Running Shoes Brown 9 by Nike — Love the cush in the shoe with stability. This shoe saved my backside 100 miles into Cocodona. I needed a big change in the feet and this was it. I actually had my crew start looking at local running stores to buy me another pair while on course.
On Cloudultra 3 Trail-Running Shoes - Men's by On — The Cloudultra 3 is a fantastic daily training shoe for trail runners looking for a balance of comfort, protection, and traction. It has plenty of cushioning to help absorb the pounding from long miles while still feeling stable and responsive on the trail. The outsole provides the grip you need for rocky terrain, loose dirt, and slickrock sections, giving you confidence when conditions get more technical. For runners spending long hours on the trails, it's the kind of shoe that helps keep your feet happy while still being capable enough to handle a wide variety of terrain.
