Nearly every time I head out for a run, I am confronted with the fact that despite living in New York City, I am going to be running on more than one surface. From asphalt to concrete, to grass and even dirt trails, the longer you spend on your run, the more likely you are to see all types of ground. That being said, I have always just used traditional running shoes for my jogs. While this has never wronged my poor feet and knees, I don’t think it helped as I was expecting.
At the same time, for those rare days when I’m out hiking, running shoes simply aren’t up to the task, providing me little to none of the grip I need. So, when I tried the Altra Outroad Trail Running Shoe, my feet didn’t know what hit them. The Altra Outroad is not just a normal trail running shoe. In fact, the shoe can’t really be categorized under one label. The only label I want to give them is the most supportive shoes I’ve ever worn for exercise.
