I recently visited the Nike Sport Research Lab in Beaverton, Oregon, for an up-close look at the gear and to speak with the team that created it.

Trail miles just hit different than runs on the pavement. So, don’t lace up your daily trainers when you hit the dirt. Instead, reach for one of these new trail running shoes, which performed outstanding across a variety of trail conditions. We tested them everywhere from the soft and muddy canal paths just outside our Pennsylvania headquarters to twisty singletrack courses.

For this summer’s Shoe Awards, our test team helps you get a full understanding of the hottest trainers, racers, and trail shoes. We also turned to some of our wear-testers who fell in love with their pairs to get additional insights. And we included “more options” for some shoes just in case you’re on the fence about trying that pair. After logging hundreds of miles in 100-plus models, we’re confident we can help you on your quest to find your perfect match.

In any case, there’s a shoe here that will work for you. Our staff and team of 300 local wear-testers ran in and evaluated more than 100 new models to determine the best running shoes so far this year.
