Hey again fellow trail runners, today I want to write to you about mens trail running shoes and my mens trail running shoe favorite. Now the good news is that these trail running shoes are also great for women. So ladies, if you see me talking about mens trail running shoe, just read in womens trail running shoe. Shoe manufacturers are becoming more savvy and designing shoes that they then offer for both sexes. This is terrific news. Now one small caveat. If you’re a woman, don’t choose a mens trail running shoe, and if you’re a man don’t choose a womens trail running shoe. I know I’ve been tempted. Sometimes one or the other sexes shoes go on sale. Don’t do it. There are physiological differences between men and women and when it comes to running this is one are where you shouldn’t cheap out.

Your trail running shoe is extremely important. I’d argue the most important aspect of trail running. Not to dismiss trail running apparel, but the shoe is king. Running naked is not really an option, but more important in my humble opinion is the mens trail running shoe you choose.

My first choice happens to be the Adidas Men’s Megabounce. And there is the Adidas Women’s Megabounce as my fav womens trail running shoe.

I love this shoe mostly because of the following features. I just find adiPRENE to be one of the best absorbing materials that I’ve had on the bottom of my feet. It just gives really nicely without being spongy. The other thing I like is the BOUNCE ™ technology that has been newly introduced by Adidas and it works in a way that your momentum is used as energy to propel you forward as your heel to toe strikes the ground. Now I don’t know if this has been scientficaly proven but I’ll tell you that my last few runs in the Adidas Men’s Megabounce did seem to be noticeably easier. And I’m sure I’m not getting fitter.

So that my friends is my top choice for mens trail running shoe and womens trail running shoe. The Adidas Megabounce has one minor drawback, for me anyway. I’m just not really taken by the design of the shoe. Nevertheless it works. It has a great price point, and I love it. I’ll post a more detailed review soon.

Now get out there and go for a trail run.

In fact, this style of running is enjoyed by both young people as well as retired folks, by men as well as women. Trail running is a terrific way to both get some great exercise as well as enjoy the great outdoors.

It is such a rush, that only experiencing it can you really understand the joy.

Thankfully, men’s trail running, and when I say men I am really including all folks who trail run, is becoming a much bigger sport as years go by. But what is it exactly. What makes trail running different from running in the park or on the street? Let me explain.

So many people complain that running becomes boring or too difficult as they age. Running on hard surfaces jars the joints over time, even with today’s super cushioned shoes. But even those who have given up on regular running are able to find a renewed love affair with the outdoors and exercise when taking up trail running. Trail running is basically any running that takes place in “real” nature. This does not include a nice job around the bike path at your local park.

In fact most of us are used to trails that we hike in on the weekends. Well friends, if you choose to run or jog these trails, give yourself a pat on the back, as you’ve just done some trail running. One of the great joys of men’s trail running is the inexpensiveness of the sport. All you need is a good pair of trail running shoes which can be had for less than $100.
