Trail shoe advice please!

Hi

I am new to fell running and want to get some fell shoes. Any advice as to which are a good womens trail shoe? How about fit? These More Mile ones seem very cheap - anyone tried them?

Cheers Rachel

Check out the Adidas Kanadia, very cheap from a reliable brand. Perfect for a newcomer to the sport.

I have a pair of these and am very happy with them for trail and some fell (incl racing). for fell I prefer inov8 xtalons. kanadia's will be a very good (and cheap) option for a newcomer.

I've used these for many different things - trail, even fell and autumn XC league fixtures where it isn't really muddy but you need some traction.

Try and get some Kanadia 4s if you can, they have a much more aggressive outsole than the Kanadia 5s which have been recently introduced, I wouldn't fancy them having a great deal of grip in bad condtions - I have had two pairs of Kanadia 4s and I can't fault them on what they're good at. Mizuno Wave Harriers are also very highly regarded.

Is there a difference between mens and womens? (trail shoes I mean!)

Hmm. Do you mean in terms of basic design, or are your referring to female-specific fit/colour models? I've never heard of a trail shoe that was solely for one gender, though I suppose you could argue that in the past the market was biased to a male target audience. Most manufacturers produce their trail shoes in male and female colourways at the very least, I'm thinking Inov8 Roclites, Salomon Speedcross, Mizuno Ascend here. A friend of mine bought some Hokas in a female-specific colourway the other day too.

I was wondering if female trail shoes would maybe be padded etc for a specific weight range etc. Also same for juniors as I have small feet so can fit junior shoes but wondered if the my "weight" would affect cushioning? Same female/male - if that makes sense x

Also not into pink!!
