adidas adizero Evo SL ATR

A brand-new road-to-trail version of their wildly successful Evo SL gives you a little extra security in your footing and uses Continental rubber in the outsole which has even more grip in the wet than in dry conditions. Throw in a water repellent upper to shed splashes, showers and icy sludge and you get a winning shoe for wintery conditions.

ASICS Trabuco Max 5

A max cushioned trail shoe, the Trabuco Max also features a water-repellent upper to help protect your feet from icy sludge and snow as well as showers and splashes. The combination of Guiderail technology and FF Blast foam ensures an efficient and effective stride.

HOKA Challenger ATR 7 GORE-TEX

Another shoe that sits between a full trail shoe and a road shoe, HOKA describe it as a “road focused, all terrain shoe”. The waterproof version uses invisible fit GORE-TEX for a more flexible and breathable waterproof layer.

Inov-8 Trailtalon™ Max

This full trail running shoe uses graphene in the rubber of the outsole, one of the toughest materials on earth. By adding it to rubber they can create incredibly grippy, tacky outsoles that maintain their durability, meaning you get excellent grip in all conditions. Long, 6mm lugs need to bite into soft surfaces like snow, or sludge to maximise your grip.

Merrell Promorph

Built to balance traction and flexibility in a road-to-trail option, the Promorph uses a Vibram XS Trax Evo outsole with flex grooves to let you get maximum ground contact and grip. It also features a style you can wear away from your runs, and a comfortably cushioned feel.

New Balance Hierro

Inspired by ultra runners, this daily trail runner is well cushioned, with a dual-density Fresh Foam midsole providing a luxurious feeling of comfort. Also available in a waterproof GORE-TEX upper, this lightweight mesh offering features strategically placed overlays for improved protection and durability.

On Womens Cloudsurfer Trail 2

An instant success on launch, and the second version only made it better, the On Cloudsufer Trail 2 is a road-to-trail shoe with improved grip and bigger lugs than the original for traction you can put faith in. It is also a smooth and comfortable running shoe ideal for daily miles.

The North Face Vectiv Enduris 4

Built for performance and daily use, the Enduris is the only plated shoe on this list, and you might want to be aware of the lightweight upper with venting zones to prevent overheating during winter runs, but the well-received SURFACE CTRL rubber outsole and 4mm lugs gives you a great option for traction.
