Running Wild
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT
14 • Footwear Insight ~ January 2020 footwearinsight.com
The fresh crop of Fall '20 trail running styles are engineered to tackle the toughest terrain (and the
pavement on the way) with protective features that don't sacrifice comfort under and around the foot.
Saucony / Canyon TR
Offering a smooth ride from road to trail and back again, the
Canyon TR is a crossover style with dirt-friendly traction that
still rides smooth on the road. It has low-profile lugs, PWRRUN
cushioning for soft responsiveness and an engineered mesh
upper reinforced with a thin, flexible 3D-printed film for
protection and durability.
MSRP $120.
Salomon / Wildcross
Building on the brand's popular Cross collection, the new
Wildcross offers enhanced stability and a precise fit with new
Dreamtex technology. An anatomical fit and a new lug geometry
make it a fit for traversing any trail with speed and style.
Dreamtex TPU mesh wings offer a secure, precise foot hold and
a higher-volume toebox allows for comfort across a variety of
foot shapes.
MSRP $130.
361 / TAROKO 2
This hybrid trail running shoe from 361 Degrees combines style
and performance and is designed for on- and off-road adventures.
The shoe has a sturdy mesh upper and features 361's MORPHIT
Heel Lock, a pull-cord heel design that keeps the rearfoot secure.
It also has a durable rubber outsole with articulated flex zones in
the forefoot for better grip off-road and a rubber heel crash pad
for durability and shock dispersion.
MSRP $120.
Altra / Superior 4.5
Designed to be an adventurous, trail-ready speedseeker, the
Superior 4.5 is both lightweight and loaded with a MaxTrac
sticky rubber outsole. This update has a sleeker, rounded heel
and an improved upper that's more locked in and durable
than its predecessor. It also boasts improved breathability and
drainage.
MSRP $110.
