5 Great Trail Running Shoes for Men

Trail running has become very popular these days. For people who love to trail run, a good pair of shoes are essential. Trail running shoes are built lower to the ground and provide more stability that regular track or road running shoes. When looking for a good pair of trail running shoes, keep these in mind. I've found that they are very comfortable and can all be found easily and at a great price.

New Balance is a well known brand of shoes. They are especially known for providing trail running shoes. The New Balance 790 Trail Running Shoe is a great shoe to buy at an affordable price. This shoe is ultra lightweight and the upper part is made from synthetic/mesh blend to provide you with great breathability. They also have an AT Tread that will give you extreme trail traction. New Balance shoes can be purchased at almost any sporting goods store but I found them at www.joessports.com for less than $60.

For incredible comfort and support, I would suggest The North Face's Purgatory Trail Running Shoe. This shoe has great breathability as well as being water resistant. It also provides structural support throughout the foot. This shoe is great for trail running in inclement weather. This shoe can be purchased at www.altrec.com for around $110.00.

Merrell Men's Cruise Control Shoe is another great shoe for trail runners. This shoe is designed for runners who don't know the meaning of over doing it and also designed to prevent over pronation. The Cruise Control shoe is ultra lightweight and provides a great ventilation and drainage system. This shoe can also be purchased at www.altrec.com for around $110.00.

Nike has always been a trusted name brand shoe for me, and their Shox are about the only brand of shoe I will buy. So the Nike Shox Trail Runner would be one of my favorite trail running shoes. They offer great stability and support, and are all around comfortable. This shoe can be found for around $90.00 at www.shoedeals4u.com

For a great shoe at a very low price try the GoLite Trail Fly Trail Running Shoe. This shoe is great for long distance runs and is well ventilated to provide great breathability as well as stability. They are also very light and provide awesome traction. Try finding this shoe at www.backcountry.com for a great price. Some discontinued colors can be found for around $55.00.
