I’ve been doing a ton of trail running over the last year for a few reasons. First, it’s definitely easier on my knees after my heel striking on concrete! Secondly, being in the woods and trails around me is a perfect way to unwind and take in the beauty of nature. Having a quality pair of trail shoes is a must of you run as much as I have been doing. I have at least 4 name brands of trail shoes and all have their specific qualities and usage. The Under Armour Horizon RTT trail shoes fit just right as I went a half size up on them after having my last few trail shoes become a little too tight after some hard use. Going up a size was the right decision and wearing the right socks with them only ensured a non slip feel.

Most of my trail runs were done on limestone or dirt tracks and they did the job. I had great traction on the dirt and even in the creeks that I crossed. I never had any heel slip or felt like the shoe was coming off. The aggressive tread on the shoe was great for the dirt, logs, or roots that I came across. As for mud, the deep tread tended to build up and make it slick but so did all of my other trail shoes. Smacking them up against a tree or stump got rid of that!

I’ve worn them for the greater part of a month and put well over 100 miles on them in both easy and technical trails. They are holding up great with little wear on the tread and a few scratches on the toe box. I never got any blisters in the heal where I usually do with other shoes. I love the color and look of the shoe and can see myself getting another pair in the future when these ones are worn out.
Great flexibility in the sole
