Las 7 Mejores Zapatillas De Trail Running Para Hombre

We explored the mountains with no sweat, figuratively and literally, as the Nike Zegama 2 offers a smooth and pleasant ride with its plush ZoomX midsole, rocker geometry, and refreshing upper. Our lab tests confirm its comfortable yet controlled ride thanks to its low drop and grippy Vibram outsole, making it our ultimate men’s trail running shoe.

The ZoomX midsole, with a stack height of 30.3/26.3 mm, measures 36.7% softer than average. These figures translated to our feet with excellent impact protection and a springy sensation. The platform features a low 4.0 mm drop, which enhances stability during downhill and unpredictable terrain.

We remain centered thanks to the Zegama 2’s rocker geometry, which suits men who prefer smooth assisted forward transitions. The outsole also features the highly reliable Vibram Megagrip rubber, which delivers a safe and well-balanced ride. It includes deep 4.0 mm lugs that keep us steady on wet or dry, loose or compact ground.

Meanwhile, the upper delivered surprising ventilation since trail shoes tend to run warm. Smoke passed through the upper easily, so we rated it with a 4/5 breathability score. We had zero instances of our body heat building up.

However, men seeking a weightless and agile feel will be disappointed with the Zegama 2. Its 10.7 oz (302g) build will be a drag on the feet.

The Saucony Peregrine has a light and natural sensation that keeps the ride smooth and fuss-free. Our lab tests show it has a low drop and a balanced midsole that enhances control, with protective features such as the PWRTRAC outsole for tougher conditions, making it our most versatile men’s trail running shoe.

Weighing 9.4 oz (266g), the Peregrine 14 is 8.6% lighter than average, which explains why we felt so agile. It felt easy to maneuver and bent with our feet as needed. Our flex test confirms it’s 19.1% more adaptive than average.

It features a grounded stack with a low 2.2 mm drop, which keeps our feet almost flat—as if we were barefoot. We found it a great match for men who enjoy the natural feel. The midsole was a balanced 26.0 HA but felt noticeably softer underfoot thanks to the plush sockliner.

To protect us from any hazards, we found a rock plate and the tough PWRTRAC outsole which got a high 92.4 HC durometer reading. Traction wasn’t compromised and was ensured by the 4.7 mm lugs which were versatile enough for various trail conditions.

However, men who prefer plush cushioning for long-distance runs won’t find that here. We recommend looking for a thicker platform for better comfort.

We found the Nike Ultrafly to be a Vaporfly for the trails with its unmatched energy return, undeniable comfort, and reliable traction in our runs. Our lab tests confirm its snappy ride through its carbon plate and wide midsole, which is why we think it’s a perfect match for men seeking a thrilling race shoe for the trails.

Our caliper reveals the platform is a thick 36.6/24.8 mm, offering effective impact protection for countless miles. The ZoomX midsole offers a cloud-like yet highly responsive sensation, which our durometer validates with a low 9.8 HA reading. Ultrafly satisfies men’s cravings for an adrenaline-filled run.

The midfoot features a forked carbon plate, which serves to both energize and stabilize the ride. It felt more natural to run at full speed in this shoe, and we had no worries because its wide 122.1/93.4 mm base kept us surefooted on various terrains. It has a high level of torsional rigidity (5/5) that makes it impossible to twist our ankles.

In addition to its stable ride, the Vibram outsole’s traction enhanced our control. With shallow 3.0 mm lugs, it felt easy to speed up because it doesn’t feel too bulky underneath. However, we don’t think its lugs are aggressive enough for challenging and muddy terrain. Men who frequent these types of trails should find another option.

The Salomon Speedcross 6 has such a slim and streamlined build that got us speeding through twisty trails. It has an exceptionally stable ride thanks to its outsole, while our lab results show it has a highly protective and grippy outsole. With its remarkable blend of agility and safety, it’s our top men’s trail running shoe for technical terrain.

Speedcross 6 features a narrow 104.9/87.3 mm midsole that gives us a nimble feel as we speed through corners. At 10.4 oz (296g), it’s light for the support it offers and will fit men who prioritize agility.

To offset any imbalances and spillovers due to its slim profile, the cushion is firm and protective. Our durometer shows it’s 49.8% firmer than average, stabilizing the ride. In addition, the insole has a curved shape so that we sit inside it and it embraces our foot in place.

Another safety net below us is the tough Contagrip rubber, which received a very high 93.9 HC durometer reading. In addition, the lugs are a massive 5.8 mm, 2.3 mm deeper than average, serving as extra protection underfoot. They’re designed to handle muddy conditions with ease.

However, Speedcross 6 has limited toebox height. We recommend men with high-volume feet to check alternatives so they won’t bump into the toebox uncomfortably.

The Hoka Speedgoat 6 delivers a well-protected, secure, and effortless sensation that makes the miles melt away during our mountain runs. Our lab tests prove its light weight and cushioned platform kept our legs fresh, making it our best comfortable men's trail running shoe. Underfoot, the world-class Vibram outsole allowed us to take challenging terrain with its unwavering traction.

Speedgoat 6 didn’t weigh us down and our scales confirm it’s only 9.8 oz (278g), right below the 10.3 oz (291g) average trail running shoe. It feels easy on the feet because it’s easy to maneuver, boosting our agility. The shoe's rocker smoothens our transitions, perfect for men who just want to run mindlessly.

We were surprised to discover a well-cushioned 32.1/27.2 mm foam beneath our feet even if the shoe is light. We felt protected for long hours on foot without the harshness of the ground. The midsole runs wider than average at 117.7/94.1 mm, making sure we remain centered and have stable landings.

The Vibram Megagrip outsole enhanced our control over tricky terrain. It features deep 4.0 mm Traction Lugs, offering claw-like traction on mixed surfaces. It was so reliable that it boosted our confidence during our runs. However, we have concerns regarding the outsole’s durability because our Dremel damaged it way more than average. Men who want long-lasting shoes should check alternatives.

Intertwining the comfort and support needed for urban streets and mountains, the Nike Pegasus Trail 5 stands as our top road-to-trail shoe in the men’s trail running category. We found it to be extremely versatile with its smooth transitions, pleasant midsole, and flexible build. Plus, our lab tests and runs confirm the All-Terrain Compound outsole’s resilience on various surfaces.

The midsole promotes free and natural movement, further amplified by the strategic cutouts in the outsole. Our bend test shows it’s 29.0% more flexible than average, which explains why the shoe felt easy to maneuver.

The midsole kept us both energized and refreshed, offering a nice springiness while protecting our joints from landing impact. Our durometer backs us up with a reading 51.5% softer than the average, ensuring it will protect men who run long miles from the sidewalk to the trails.

Already in its name, the All-Terrain Compound showed solid resistance against our Dremel. Showing 0.2 mm less damage than average, it proves it won’t wear out easily regardless of the surface. It also features 3.2 mm lugs, which felt grippy on soft ground but not too intrusive when on concrete.

However, the upper delivers limited ventilation so we can’t recommend this Peg to men who seek maximum breathability.

The ASICS Gel Venture 9 is so comfortable and flexible that we found it versatile for trail running and other activities. In the lab, we discovered the v9’s gentle Amplifoam midsole babying our legs while its lugs offer reliable traction. For only €90 vs. the €170 average trail shoe, it’s our best budget pick for men.

We ran mindlessly and continuously because our legs felt good in the cushioned midsole. We felt well-protected from impact, evidenced by our above-average 33.3 mm heel measurement. Paired with a modest forefoot, the resulting drop is 10.4 mm, perfect for men who are beginners since heel-striking is the tendency.

Comfort is further amplified by the fluid midsole that bends easily with our feet. We didn’t have to fight much resistance and our flex test agreed when it emerged 26.1% more adaptive than average. Because of this, it’s carefree enough to be used for walks and hikes. Its versatility is further enhanced by its minimal 3.0 mm lugs, which felt subtle enough for speed runs and effective on slippery surfaces.

We wondered how this shoe is so affordably priced and we found out the answer during our durability tests. Scoring a dismal 1/5 and 2/5 in the toebox and heel, respectively, the materials can be easily ripped off. Men who give importance to longevity should invest in another pair.
