The TRAILFLY and TRAILFLY SPEED shoes are our exciting additions to the hard-ground trail running category.
Featuring some of the biggest design enhancements in our 20+ year history, both shoes boast a new anatomical foot-shaped fit, GRAPHENE-GRIP rubber that has been made even stickier, and a new midsole foam that cushions and propels in equal measure.
The TRAILFLY is the more cushioned of the two with greater stack heights and drop, while the TRAILFLY SPEED is lighter and sits closer to the ground for a faster feel.
Check out what independent reviewers have had to say about both shoes.
