Trail running is becoming increasingly popular. It's one of the fastest-growing sports in the world. The number of trail runners continues to rise every year. There are millions of them. Trail running can be enjoyed in all weathers, at any time of day and on any type of terrain, enabling you to discover exceptional natural beauty.

For this activity, you need to be well equipped. Indeed, it's very important to have a suitable pair of shoes. Trail running is practiced on paths with little stability and over distances of varying lengths. So it's vital to take good care of your feet. But how do you choose THE trail/running shoe you need?
