Trail Running Shoes

Trail running shoes are made for routes that change underfoot. Think rocky paths, forest tracks, muddy climbs and fast downhills. Nike trail shoes combine road-running comfort with off-road grip, so you can move with confidence when the surface shifts.

Look for trail runners with rugged outsoles that help bite into loose ground and shed debris as you run. Multi-directional traction supports climbs, descents and quick changes of pace, while durable overlays help protect high-wear areas from scuffs. A stable platform helps you feel connected to the trail without losing the soft feel you need over longer distances. Trail shoes with responsive cushioning help absorb impact on hard-packed paths and spring you into your next stride, whether you're building endurance, racing off-road, or adding trails to your weekly training. For wet conditions, choose waterproof trail running shoes with GORE-TEX technology to help keep rain and splashes out while letting heat escape. On dry days, lightweight uppers bring breathability and a secure feel.

Nike ACG designs are built for outdoor performance, with durable materials and secure traction made for changing terrain. For everyday movement, trail shoes also bring comfort and grip beyond the route, from easy distances to weekend walks. Choose the fit, cushioning and level of protection that match your distance, pace and conditions. If you train across mixed surfaces, cushioned trail runners can help smooth the switch between pavement, gravel and dirt. That means more focus on the run ahead, too.
