Review: Trailshoes


On the blog Run to Dream (in Dutch so for help with translating see my blog in Dutch) a short review on three trailschoes. Special schoes fit for the more rough off the road work (so less suitabel for the use on the road). The lady in question is will take part in the Trans Alpine Run. A run of 8 days and 240km across four of the Alpine countries.
Now about the shoes, the: Inov8 Flyroc 310, the Inov8 Terroc 330 and the Adidas Supernova Trail. The writer used all three (not on the same time;-p) and an opinion on the demping they provide which makes them suitabel for various terrain conditions. The Terroc is hard and there for very stable but is not comfortabel if you have to run on asphalt where the supernova has some demping causing no problems on asphalt. The flyroc is somewhere in between and suitable for soft off road terrain
To me this all sounds like very specialist stuff that is less usefull for the everyday recreational runner.

  1. i've used the adidas novas and have logged in about 680K on it already. i love the soft and light feel of the shoes. they don't bother me much on technical terrain. i'm just a little more careful with every step i take.

    with 680K, i figure it's time to get a new pair of shoes so i just ordered the exact same pair again (different color this time) :)
