As I pull open the box of a brand-new pair of Inov-8 Trailroc 285s, I look down and a smile stretches across my face. I’m back to being 14 again and thinking that I’m going to look like the coolest kid at the disco.

Scarpa, the Italian footwear company, are well known for their hiking boots and probably less known for their range of running shoes. They shouldn’t however be ignored if you are looking for a versatile tick-all-the-boxes shoe.

ON is a Swiss shoe manufacturer, known for their unorthodox and innovative approach to running shoe design, who have been making small steps into the trail running market. Built around a classic chassis with a sole comprising 11 separate cloud “pods”, the idea is similar to the idea of compartment sprung mattresses, with the objective of giving you independent suspension for greater grip and comfort.

Described as a “road to trail shoe”, the Mizuno Wave Daichi 2 offers cushioning for the tarmac and grippy soles for the trails. Since the shoe is meant to be an “all-round trail shoe for use in all conditions” I tested the trainers on a mixed-terrain route, including path, wet grass, mud, rocks, stony trails and tarmac.

The Supertrac RC (which stands for Race Concept) are SCOTT’s premier trail shoe, and they’ve been a while in development. They are designed for agility and speed over technical trails.

Whatever kind of runner you are, the likelihood is that you will be putting in plenty of miles pounding the tarmac. I love the trails but life intervenes and so I find myself hitting the pavement, and very occasionally the treadmill but the less said about that the better. With that in mind, I have been road testing the Hoka One One Arahis.

A serious trail shoe that thinks it is a boot - or is that the other way round?

La Sportiva claim: “The women’s Akashas are very light with a neutral and highly cushioned sole best suited to long runs in challenging terrain with stacks of protection and a roomy fit.” The name Akasha means “ether” in Sanskrit.

The updated Saucony Peregrine promises serious grip and extra cushioning. It is a neutral shoe meant for trails and grass and has a 4mm heel to toe offset.

Designed for medium and long-distance runs on trail that is hard and compact, the Dynafit Feline Ultra promises “reliable support and shock absorption”.
