Best Trail Running Shoes for Men of 2025

"I purchased these for long city walks in New England winters. I absolutely love the solid, deep tread soles and the sturdy construction. The nice wide toe box and effective lacing make for a close fit and easy off. The black with brown accents looks stylish too!"

"I got these for the gym and I'm really pleased with my choice. They hold up well from running to lifting weights and look nice. The arch support is great, and they breathe well, so no more smelly gym bag. I plan to buy another pair once I wear these out!"

"After having knee surgery, I needed supportive shoes for getting around and physical therapy. The size was accurate; I got a wide fit, and there's plenty of room. I love the blue and tan color combo as well. I highly recommend them!"

"I've gone through many trail shoes, but the Altra Lone Peak 7 is a real game-changer for me. Comfort is top-notch, feeling like plush pillows even after tough runs. The zero-drop platform and wide toe box allow my toes to spread naturally, which is a must on long runs. The EGO midsole feels like running on clouds, absorbing impact beautifully. As for grip, the MaxTrac outsole is incredible — I confidently tackle loose dirt and rocky paths. Plus, the upper is seamless and breathable, looking good on the trails or in the city. For me, these shoes are worth every penny!"

"I bought these for my husband, and he absolutely loves them. He usually wears a size 13, but the 12.5 fit him perfectly. Even though they're intended for trail running, he wears them daily and finds them super comfortable. The wide toe box is a highlight, as it doesn't squish his toes like some other brands. They look sporty yet stylish enough to pair with jeans or chinos, making them great for work too!"

"This is my second pair of ALTRA Lone Peak 7 shoes, and I can't recommend them enough. My first pair lasted through over 1,000 KM of hiking across various terrains. They were comfortable from the start, thanks to the wide toe box that minimizes friction. The grip is solid, although I wish they had a Vibram sole. One notable upgrade in the 7 is the improved water resistance compared to the last model. Overall, these shoes have performed outstandingly for me, and I love the design!"

"These are my favorite trail runners! I love the roomy toe box and great traction. They have good cushion and I can add my own inserts. This is my third pair, and I’m keeping them as a backup for my second pair. They work well for errand running and handle rain, mud, and even snow quite nicely!"

"My whole family has these shoes in all different colors. We won't buy any other tennis shoes! They are super comfortable, fit perfectly, and have good durability. I really appreciate the variety of color choices available!"

"I've been wearing Asics since I was 15, and they never disappoint! After struggling with sore feet and stiff ankles from my old shoes, I switched back to Asics and felt relief immediately. They’re sturdy, provide excellent ankle support, and my Achilles pain is now gone!"

"I was really impressed with the high quality materials. It feels durable and well-made."

"The customer service was fantastic; they addressed my questions promptly."

"Using this product was a breeze; it’s easy to use and straightforward."

"I purchased these to hike with my son in OR. They are comfortable even though they aren't fully broken in yet. The soles provide excellent traction. I'm not a fan of the color, but I value function and quality over looks. Great shoe for the price! Definitely would buy again. ASICS fits me best!"

"I needed something sturdy for my plantar fasciitis and cushioned for my heel spur. So far, so good! They offer great support and are lightweight. I’ve received lots of compliments from nurses on them. Love the pop of red on the soles. Bravo ASICS!"

"My husband is a big fan of these sneakers! He buys a new pair in different colors every few months. Working on his feet all day, he needs comfortable and supportive sneakers. He used to be picky with sneakers, but since he found these on Amazon, he hasn't gone back to Foot Locker. He loves the snug fit and orders another pair as soon as they wear out!"

“I really like these shoes; this is my third pair. I’m not a runner, but they work perfectly for dog-walking and grocery shopping. They look great and fit well!”

“For my walks, these shoes are very comfortable. They fit a bit narrow, but I've put many miles on them, and the quality is excellent for the price.”

“I was searching for a new running shoe and ended up with these. They feel sturdier than regular running shoes and handle off-road terrain well. I appreciate the traction and haven’t slipped at all!”

"As a runner with wide feet, I've found Brooks to be one of the few brands that fit well. I wear a size 10EE, and these shoes fit perfectly. They're slightly stiff, but I appreciate that in a trail running shoe, providing great stability. I feel locked in and, although they're a bit heavier than others, they're perfect for trail running. They also clean up nicely and are quite breathable. I'm a huge fan!"

"This is my first experience with Brooks shoes, and I must say they are well-made and incredibly comfortable. I'm definitely planning to buy another pair!"

"I've been a loyal Altra Lone Peak user, but after noticing a decline in their quality, I decided to try these shoes. They offer amazing stability on uneven terrain, and I didn't feel any pain after my run. The rock guard worked wonders, and while they felt a bit stiff at first, they molded to my foot beautifully. Surprisingly, I beat my personal record for this trail by over three minutes!"

"I wear a size 15 and hesitated buying these because I've heard adidas run small. However, I finally decided to get them when they went on sale. They fit great and feel good, not just for the trail but also for everyday wear. I liked them so much that I bought another pair in a different model."

"Breaking in these shoes was a breeze. They were pain-free and reliable, allowing me to adapt quickly for hikes that might have been troublesome without such high-quality shoes."

"These shoes surprised me with their comfort and lightness. They are my go-to for running and are also easy to clean."

"At 6'5” and 250 pounds, finding a light shoe for rough hiking is challenging. The Endorphin Edge is the first shoe that truly works for me. The foot box is just right, and they offer superb cushioning with a stiff carbon fiber rock plate. No more pain on the AT! The grip is excellent on slick trails. The uppers dry quickly and show no signs of wear after about 50 miles. I've ordered two more pairs just in case!"

"I've had a lot of positive experiences with Saucony shoes, and these didn't disappoint. I wore them for 34 hours during a backyard ultra, covering 127 miles without a shoe change, getting only one small blister. They’re a bit tippy due to the stack height, but the light foam and quality fit make it worth it!"

"I’ve been wearing Saucony shoes for over 30 years. These Edge shoes are a bit tough to put on, but the cushioning is fantastic. However, I found them unstable at first, and the grip is slippery on wet surfaces. I’m also concerned about the tread's durability. Still, the uppers are well made!"

"I was looking for a lightweight hiking trail sneaker for warmer weather and some trail running. These are lighter than a low cut hiking shoe and fit my needs perfectly. The materials and design impressed me, especially the upper lacing system that offers good heel support. Overall, the fit is great, and for $40 - $50, I feel like I got a fantastic deal."

"I got these shoes for everyday work use, and they fit really well. I can wear them all day without any issues. The quality seems solid so far, and I'm pleased with my purchase."

"Finding extended size shoes at a reasonable price was a relief! I love the color and fit of these shoes. My son says they are really comfortable and provide good support. I hope they hold up well over time!"
