Weight 305g Evaluation In the three years since Montrail was launched in the UK, this niche American brand has become a favourite with off-road runners and adventure racers. The Melee is a good reason why. Its a simple shoe but an effective one
Weight 370g Evaluation Mizuno added a trail shoe to its range this autumn with the Wildwood. This was essentially an existing road shoe with a slightly more rugged outsole and a tougher upper. The Redhawk follows the same path, although its off-road
Weight 370gEvaluation While a number of firms are producing fast, grippy shoes that have obviously been designed as pure off-road shoes from the ground up, others still produce trail shoes that are closer to their road running models
Weight 355gEvaluation The Mizuno Wildwood is a throwback to a time when manufacturers met the needs of the off-road market by modifying road shoes. Bolt on a rugged outsole and a more durable upper and hey presto, you are in the trail business
