Opinion of the grip in soft conditions was mixed, but the shoe works well for a mix of road and trail running. From battle hardened Ultra Marathon runners to weekend warriors, our testers were chosen from GO Outdoors stores across the UK and represents a broad spread of abilities and experience. They all share a love of trail running, run multiple times a week and know what makes a good trail running shoe.

The grip was excellent, providing me with confidence on various surfaces and in different conditions.” – Cassy

Stability

An instantly comfortable and supportive running shoe with effective lacing that adapts well to wide and narrow feet. Opening the box and inspecting the shoe, the build quality felt on point. Continental® rubber soles, a GORE-TEX® membrane, chunky trail running lugs – these were some really encouraging signs.” – Chris year-old Chris has been running seriously for almost 8 years. A normal week for Chris includes up to 11 hours of running time, predominantly on trails and mountains throughout Wales. A competitive endurance runner, Chris regularly competes in long distance runs. In June this year he competed at the legendary 80K Lavaredo UTMB trail race in the Italian Dolomites. He’s also proud of running the Welsh 3000s in under 15 hours. Chris usually runs in shoes from Hoka, La Sportiva and Inov-8. I would have preferred a little bit more cushioning and comfort on the flatter harder surfaces. On roads and paved trails, the shoe felt a little too firm, but they are a trail running shoe and off road they were great.” – Cassy My sneakers are very comfortable and they provide great support and I like that they look sharp too. I wish that they would provide better airflow. Other than that very happy with these runners.

It’s a quality, waterproof, winter running shoe with reliable grip and it looks good enough to wear around town and stop for a cuppa.” – John I have run plenty of miles in these shoes and noticed no significant change in performance. The traction, cushioning, and support has remained consistent, and the shoes held up remarkably well in terms of wear and tear.” – Cassy So far these shoes are awesome, are lightweight and look like they will be lasting a long time. Good value. It’s not a lightweight racer, but the Peak 4 is more rugged than most running shoes and is built to last.I’m a UK 6.5 but felt these were a little on the small side, as my toe felt like it was touching the end so may have preferred a size up, but having said that it never caused my any problems on my runs.” – Cassy I highly recommend these for any hiker or people who ride mountain bikes because the grip on these is really good. They're really comfortable too. The Agravic’s upper feels very tough and it’s quite a stiff shoe, which was apparent from my first run.”– Chris Plenty of cushioning and energy return from a stiffer, more supportive midsole that’s ideal for rugged trails.
