The Best Trail Running Shoes for Every Terrain (Fall 2026)
October 2026 Update: After testing summer trail running shoe releases and comparing them to previously reviewed models, our 14 testers selected a new Best All-Around Trail Shoe: the Mount to Coast M1. We retained the Saucony Peregrine 16 as Best Value and named winners in three other categories: the Salomon Genesis 2 (Best Technical Terrain), the Kiprun Kipsummit Max (Best Max Cushioned), and the Salomon Aeroblaze 4 GRVL (Best Gravel Shoe). We test continuously and update this guide throughout the year.
Great trail running shoes promise adventure, keeping us surefooted and comfortable across woods, mountains, and dirt paths. The following shoes stood out to our testers for superior performance in their respective categories. Here are the best trail running shoes of the season—and four of them come in at a reasonable $150.
