The best trail running shoes boast supreme durability paired with smart features that offer premium support. Our men's trail shoe iterations have a dual-density midsole with ultra-lightweight and high-rebound foams for optimal cushioning.
Plus, trek paths unknown feet-first with a 3D carbon-fiber plate underfoot for multi-directional stability. After all, no adventure is complete without a few bumps in the road, right? Face the unexpected with gear that you can rely on for years.
Don't miss The North Face's newest collections - the Altamesa 500 and the VECTIV™ Pro 2.0 shoes. Both feature our new DREAM foam which adds comfort without compromising on rebound or traction. For the everyday runner or for training days, the Altamesa 500 is an excellent choice. It was designed to help transition from road to trail. For the serious ultra trail running competitor, choose a VECTIV™ Pro 2.0 shoe built for spanning peaks and podiums.
When it comes to hitting the right trails, less is absolutely more. Made for high performance over long distances, our trail shoes are specifically engineered to optimize energy return without added bulk. Similar to our hiking shoes, a sleek rubber outsole reduces impact by upwards of 10%. Plus, a slim-style lacing construction and clean-cut mesh upper optimizes cushioning.
As an added bonus, these shoes don't just look good but they feel good, too. Specifically engineered to be as lightweight as possible, stay nimble on the trail with custom no-sew TPU overlays in the toe and heel. Whether you're tackling long-course racing or a quick run on your lunch break, rest assured you can handle it all with the right shoes by your side.
Every shoe in our men's trail shoes collection is designed to thrive on technical and varied terrain. When choosing the right shoe for you, keep an eye out for key features like a sturdy rock plate and a durable toe box at the forefoot for added protection. Plus, a graphene sole with a 3D-molded heel counter maximizes the response rate when you're on the move. Before you head to checkout, give your loved one the gift of choice with a gift card. Then, go ahead, hit the trail together!
