Our Higher State Trail Running Ambassador, Josh Westwood, has been busy putting the Trail Running Shoesto the test.

Updated Ripstop Mesh Upper - Robust upper and offers debris protection, while still providing much needed breathability. Even if you’re happy buying any brand, there are still some decisions to be made about the shoe you buy. The main one is whether you need a shoe with stability features to counter overpronation – where your foot rolls excessively inwards upon landing, which can increase your risk of injuries.The basic EVA midsole works well enough and is acceptable at this price point, especially given that the shoe is designed for soft, muddy ground and comfort from cushioning isn’t a priority.

The shoes are available in a range of vivid colours, from bright green and yellow, to blue and red. The women's version of the shoe is currently unavailable due to supply issues. Higher State Soil Shaker 2 trail running shoes specifications Built on the same platform as the brands purely trail running shoe, the Yushan 2, the Camino features a slightly higher cut ankle collar and to provide protection and keep the weather at bay for longer! The upper is made up of 50% recycled materials and uses an open mesh knit which thankful lets any water out as easily as it gets in. Rubberised welded sections provide protection in key areas of friction and add to the overall durability of the shoe.

Grass and parkland, in varying degrees of muddiness as the season progresses, are the most common surfaces you’ll encounter in British cross-country, but you’ll still get a fair amount of variety from course to course. Don’t be surprised to encounter trails, clay or an out-and-out bog. Do you need to be a member of a running club to attend races? And what do they cost? Either will be fine on most courses, especially earlier in the season when it’s not so wet and muddy. But on particularly muddy courses, and as you start to seek out more performance gains, spikes are your best bet. Is there any other kit you need aside from appropriate shoes?
