However, the magic of trail running cannot be understood without the right equipment. If there's one thing that can make a difference in the experience of running on uneven, changing and often unpredictable terrain, it's a good shoe. And when we say "good", we don't just mean comfortable, but something that understands and responds to the particularities of each woman, her footprint, her goals and her running needs. Choosing a trail running shoe for women that suits our characteristics is therefore essential to enjoy running in the mountains.
