Trail & Hiking Shoes & Apparel
Traction and protection beyond the pavement
When routes turn to gravel, roots and rock, trail running shoes and hiking styles deliver the grip and protection you need. Lugged outsoles bite into loose ground, reinforced uppers add confidence around the toe and sides, and stable platforms help you stay balanced on uneven surfaces. If your week includes both trail runs and casual walks, keep a pair of everyday sneakers for downtime and reserve your off-road footwear for the dirt.
Match your footwear to the terrain
On compact paths and park connectors, a moderate lug pattern offers a smooth ride. For muddy or technical tracks, deeper lugs and extra toe protection help you stay in control. In wet climates, water-resistant options keep light rain at bay; for hot, humid days, ventilated designs feel cooler and dry faster. Choose the setup that suits your local conditions.
Clothing and accessories that work off-road
Wear quick-dry clothes that move freely and layer easily—a breathable tee, secure-pocket shorts and a light shell for changing weather. Complete the kit with technical socks, a cap and a compact pack or belt from our accessories range to carry a phone, hydration and snacks.
