TR Trail Running Shoes

I have some expensive Altra trail shoes which I really don't like using on tarmac, and a lot of my runs involve at least a short road section, if not more. I really didn't want to spend £140+ on a second pair though, so I thought I'd try these. I went for the men's as they are noticeably wider than the ladies' version. They felt good in the shop but it still felt like a bit of a gamble buying such a cheap shoe. However I am extremely impressed and in fact have been choosing these over my Lone Peak's for every run since I got them. They are nicely cushioned for tarmac and hard-packed trail, good grip for mud and grass. I did try them in the snow we had last week, and once I got to higher elevations where the snow was a) deeper and b) icier they began to struggle, and for those conditions in future I would revert to my Lone Peak's. They are also slightly less water resistant and I don't get quite the toe-spread as I do with my LP's so perhaps also wouldn't be the shoe of choice on very unstable ground. However for the bulk of the type of running I do these are ideal and I'm really pleased I took the gamble.

This is my first experience with Evadict and i am happy with my decision

Comfortable, lightweight, good value Good service

I've used these on several runs of around 20 miles, all crosscountry and this time of the year very muddy. The cushioning is pretty good as is the general standard of construction and the soles grip well even in these conditions. For serious running events I will revert to Hokas as their cushioning is superlative, especially when the ground is hard. However for shortish runs these are fine. I don't run on roads so I can't advise whether or not the cushioning would be adequate but I think they would be fine for shorter distances. It is too early to tell how well they will wear but to date there is very little sign of degradation. It is a shame they are now 'end of line' but hopefully they will be replaced by something similar in performance.

Excellent Product and great value for money.

This is my son’s second pair of these trainers he loves them. As someone who needs support in shoes he says these are very comfortable. Would definitely recommend.

Great for runs and long walks completed GR20 South and didn't fail me once

Good product

Comfortable for longer walks and easy runs.

It has been almost a year with these shoes and I am very satisfied with them. I use them for a long walks 30km - 60km on mixed terrain: concrete, mud, rocks, trails and in all type of weather summer walks, rain and occasional ice and snow. They are very comfortable and lightweight. No blisters or injuries during use. Sole seems to be stiffer and harder than in previous evadict shoes that I wore but probably due to its hardness they last longer on hard road. Things to improve: water removal from the shoe, it is difficult to shake off water from the shoe due to high protective band on the front of the shoe

I've been buying my running shoes from Decathlon since 2017. Always very pleased with the fit, quality and design, but i was struggling to find a show for muddy tracks, grass, and road. Then I slipped these on and boy am I a pleased. Done over 300 miles now in these, Perfect fit and no rubbing since day 1 (even in the very hot July in 2021 irrespective of the course length. I love the way the laces tuck into the tongue. I have quite literally been running in thick gloopy mud, and as soon as I strike the tarmac, these grip instantly. Faultless, nothing I would change about them (but maybe they could do another colour for the mens show as well :-) Well done the Decathlon team for an outstanding shoe
