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
road shoe. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Redhawk might not be light and responsive enough for the fastest off-roaders, but the Wave in the rearfoot means that runners looking for a blend of cushioning and stability can wear it. And at just
off-road runners, and it doubles as an infrequent road shoe. It’s also great value. But if it’s a fast and responsive serious trail shoe you’re after, the Alta isn’t it.Try it on if you liked Mizuno Wildwood (£50); Asics Gel Guts (£45)
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
forgiving enough to allow the Trespass to make on-road forays with little discomfort. In short A good shoe for runners looking for a cushioned, grippy and stable off-roader. Try it on if you liked Asics Gel Eagle Trail (£85); New Balance 904 (£70)
