For nearly two decades, iRunFar has been home to and a hub for trail shoe geeks. That’s why it didn’t surprise us when we noticed that we’ve published roughly 400 in-depth trail running shoe reviews through the years and have likely tested upwards of a thousand models at this point. We’re proud of our trail shoe knowledge, but we also realize that the depth of that knowledge can make it challenging organize all of that information. We’ll take our best shot here!
