Shop outdoor running shoes and trail sneakers that protect your feet

If you like to get off the beaten track and enjoy the challenge of running trails in non-urban nature parks and the backcountry, you know the value of a good pair of trail running shoes. Unpaved, rocky, muddy, and uneven terrain puts demands on your shoes that manicured tracks do not.

ASICS trail running and hiking shoes come in many different styles for men, women, and kids.

Types of trail running shoes

Choosing the right ASICS trail shoes depends on the kind of trail running you do and the kind of terrain you typically encounter. These options will take you just about anywhere you want to run.
