Pace Trail

Variations in trail terrain can be staggering—that’s why it’s important to find a shoe that adapts to the different elements, like the Helly Hansen Pace Trail shoe. This off-road sneaker is waterproof, so it’s great for trails full of mud, water, or snow, but comfortable enough for dry trails as well. The traction is great—my foot was stable running uphill or down, and I had the confidence and speed needed for abrupt moves around obstacles in the trail. I did have a little trouble with my foot overheating, but finding the right sock helped. Sizing runs big; trying them on in-store is a good idea. Available at Helly Hansen. $90; hellyhansen.com.
