Terrex Agravic GTX Trail Running Shoes

You’re gonna just have to try some and find those that *you* like that perform and last the way *you* want. I like Terrex Swift waterproof grip (Continental sole). Great support. Have had three pair. Adidas replaced one for free because the sole separated. But, in general, they didn’t last very long. I like Salomon Speedcross 5. Not great for wide feet though. Lasted longer than Terrex and lighter. If you toe drag, you’ll easily wear a hole. I may buy another pair if hit a sale. Nike Pegasus Gore-Tex Trail. Super light, great waterproof. Lasted well, especially for the super light feel. Not as much lateral support as some others. Toe tread eventually separated. Extended life via shoe-goo. Would definitely buy on sale.

Hello fellow runners, I’m havings a hard time picking shoes for winter… I‘ve blindly bought Adidas Agravic gtx and got FHL flare up. I think they’re too stiff for me.. Tried Nike zegama 2, but they’re not gtx and still seems pretty stiff, forefoot bends more easily tho. I’m looking for sumething “cushy” for a marathon training but with good traction.. Any recommendations? Just share what worked for you and why😊

Yeah I’m looking for trail shoes because they have lugs that are gripping the snow really well. But I’m running on sidewalks… of with packed snow. But yeah, Agravics beat up my legs and flared up my FHL on 17K run.. maybe I’m looking for a wrong shoe. Thinking of trying Pegasus 41 gtx. This model doesn’t look so rigid

I wore Agravic GTX's for hiking/weighted vest walking/light jogging in spring of last year. Aside from one situation where I got an above the ankle soaker, they were fantastic. I found the Agravic true to size at 9.5. They were probably my favourite "do it all" shoe.

Not OP, but I wear a pair of Adidas Terrex GTX trail shoes down to -5 or so with merino wool socks. Down to -10 I wear a pair of Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX boots, and in these temps I wear a pair of insulated Merrell winter boots I've had for years. If I'm going to be doing a mix of asphalt and trails, I'll skip the hiking boots and go straight to the winter boots as I don't want to wear out the sole of my hiking boots. They're not made for asphalt at all. One thing I'll note is that there have been a lot of complaints about Merrell's quality going to shit the past couple of years. I'll likely be looking at other manufacturers (Lowa, Oboz, Salomon, Haglofs, even Vans have hiking boots now) when I go to replace them, unless Merrell gets its shit together. I'd also recommend that if you can afford it, get the GTX (GoreTex) version. It's, in my experience, the best waterproofing around because it's also breathable. Nothing sucks more than being half way through a hike and your feet are soaked and now freezing cold because the waterproof membrane doesn't breathe. Where needed, I'll also wear Kahtoola Microspikes where needed, generally on any increase in elevation where the snow's been trampled down to be slippery, or ice. Microspikes can be overkill - they're not quite crampons but they're more than typical ice traction spikes. MEC had them on a pretty deep discount one year, which is why I grabbed them. Any ice spike will probably be sufficient.

Merrills actually made my ankles turn inward - something with the insole and it messed with my gait. I ended up getting a pair of Men's Salomon trail runners (much better ankle alignment for me) and a pair of Adidas Terrex Free 2.0 Gore-tex. It's the style like the picture (I have a different colorway), NOT the newer one with a sock-type top. I've worn the Salomons just as a sneaker from time to time but the Adidas have been great - I've hiked in So. Utah with them and the Gore-tex saved my ass at Bonnaroo this year too when it got rained out lol I found mine at a discount chain and paid about a 1/4 of retail for them. https://preview.redd.it/p77fx4shfeef1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ab4e8996e83f271d0e841ed17e26d02f107cf4e7

I used to love the Adidas Terrex GTX with the unbreakable (titanium?) laces, then they changed and didn’t fit my feet as well. I now wear Hoka Clifton’s for when I want cushion (they also make the Speedgoat and Challenger trail runners), but mostly my Salomon Speedcross. Note: I have hereditary bunions, so YMMV.
