Adidas - Terrex Agravic BOA

Try Brooks, Hoka, Nike, Merrell, Altra, Asics, Salomon, New Balance. They have models at different price points. Pero okay din yang Terrex aggravic series ni Adidas as I'm seeing it on a lot of races even on ultras at maganda naman daw.

I picked up some barely used Terrex Agravics for under that budget and doing me great

Tough to make a recommendation without a general idea of foot shape and use. I'll give my experience to help out either way and you can message me with any other questions. I am on the taller and heavier side(6'4& 92KG/202 pounds) and also have a slightly wider midfoot. Both the Norda 001A and 005 I have accommodate my wider foot and are amazing shoes. I tried to get Nnormal and La Sportiva on and found them too narrow. Topo also fit well, but upper on the ones i tried were more sloppy. These weren't the higher end Topo, full disclosure. The Norda 005 feels quite a bit more plush than the 001A. I love almost everything about it, light, responsive, grippy outsole, but the upper does have a bit of give to it I found. This can lead to my foot sliding around a little bit on steep descents. For everything but steep descent, the 005 hits the sweet spot and I would say it could only be an issue doing so at high speeds on shorter races. At slower speeds, I didn't find it to be an issue. The 001A seems to hug and hold the foot a bit more than the 005 and also has a more grippy and pronounced outsole. I prefer it for steeper climbs and descents, but the 005 for everything else. Both the uppers are fairly air tight and not the most breathable. This is good for keeping debris out and being very durable, but something to consider with hot feet. I also have the Adidas Agravic Terrex Trail and Ultra. The upper on both is very breathable, lockdown is good, but they can easily let debris in. The trail feels amazing in general trails, good in most terrain. Grip isn't as good as Norda, but better in hotter temperatures if you have hot feet. The trail version doesn’t feel propulsive or soft underfoot. The Ultra on the other hand feels a bit more plush under foot and more propulsive. It has an aggressive rocker to it and wouldn't feel good if you strike on the heel. Fit wise, the Trail and Ultra are both close, but I found the Ultra fit ever so slightly larger, but could be sample variance. If I had to pick one as a do it all, it would likely be the Norda 005. Light on the feet, good outsole, saves the legs and good on a variety of terrain. Norda has absolutely amazing customer support as well. I have had other trail shoes as well, but none on your list. If you want any other information, let me know!

I've used Adidas Terrex, Vans, and now Nike Pegasus Trail. The Nike's have been my favorite thus far in terms of comfort and keeping my feet dry.

Trail Runners are my favorite, I particularly enjoy Adidas Terrex I always have a waterproof and non-waterproof pair and use whichever is more suitable for conditions that day. I play a couple times a week and my shoes typically last 1.5-2 years that way

Hoka challengers or adidas terrex for dry days, Salomon quest 4 gore tex for wet/muddy/snowy days

Spikes typically have very little cushion compared to trail running shoes, so it really depends on the trails you plan to run. But unless you’re trying to break some personal record, it’s kinda pointless. I have dragonfly XC spikes that I use for 5k’s but I never do any kind of crazy trails in them. One wrong step on a rock and it’s a sprained ankle. Not a big deal in a 5k with a ton of people around and medical nearby. But out running alone, yea it can potentially be a big problem. XC shoes are also going to wear out a lot faster, especially in the heel. I have 3 pairs of trail shoes I use if I go out alone. One pair of trail runners Adidas Terrex I picked up super cheap that I just use on flat dirt, and two pairs of hiking shoes, Columbia low tops and North Face high tops for rugged terrain that are both 5+ years old. I can honestly run fine in any of them, just not fast of course.

Adidas Terrex for dry days, North Face waterproof trail shoes rain/snow days

Adidas Terrex is the answer.

I use adidas terrex. Had them for 3 years and they’re holding up great
