How to choose women's trail running shoes

Light trails and gravel: a cushioned, everyday trail shoe like the HOKA Challenger 8 runs smoothly on pavement too.

Rocky, rooty singletrack: a grippy, protective shoe like the HOKA Speedgoat 7, Brooks Cascadia 20 or Altra Timp 6.

Long runs and ultras: max cushion trail shoes like the Saucony Xodus Ultra 4, HOKA Stinson 8 or Altra Olympus 7.

Rain, mud and snow: shop women's waterproof Gore-Tex shoes.

FAQ

Are trail running shoes good for hiking?

Yes. Many hikers prefer trail runners to boots because they are lighter and need no break-in. For extra ankle support, look at mid-height options like the Altra Timp 6 Mid GTX.

How should trail running shoes fit?

Snug through the heel and midfoot, with about a thumb's width of space in front of your toes for downhills.
