Dual Terrain : Road vs. Trail Running Shoes
- Trail running shoes have larger, softer lugs for traction on uneven trails, with some models using sticky rubber for grip on rocks and wet logs. Deeper lugs help maintain stability and grip on soft dirt and mud.
- Road-running shoes have flatter, smoother soles for pavement, often made with blown rubber for grip in dry and wet conditions. Many feature a segmented design and shaped lugs for a smooth, efficient heel-to-toe transition.
