A new release that receives high marks from the RW Shoe Lab, from wear-testers and from RW editors. While as-yet unproven over the long haul, the shoe represents a promising new addition to its category.

Runner's World Awards: Best Debut


We Say: The Trailfox is a new shoe designed for fast trail runs or cross-country racing. It's built low to the ground with a flexible plastic plate in the midsole to protect the foot from sharp rocks and roots. The midsole also incorporates Puma's idCell in the heel for added impact protection. But make no mistake: The Trailfox is still firm and made for runners focused on performance. The upper is water-resistant and designed as one piece, without a tongue, giving the shoe a snug, sock-like fit. Recommended for efficient runners who like the feel and responsiveness of a lightweight trainer.

Wear Tester Reviews

Wear-tester Says: "Lightweight, flexible, and cool-looking all rolled into one, it also went from road to trail quite well." -Jeanna Hahn, 35, Reading

Great Shoe. Often trailrunning shoes are heavy and feel almost like hiking boots. The trailfox is far from a hiking boot and feel like a light weight road runner shoe with extra protection for the bottom of your foot. Very comfortable and soft...and sexy looking,.
