NOVABLAST 4 TR

The ideal shoe would probably be your regular road running shoe with a trail outsole. Various road shoes have a light trail variant, such as the Asics Novablast, Nike Pegasus, Saucony Ride (though that's so firm it's more of a trail shoe on the road), etc. I used the Novablast 4 TR for this sort of thing extensively and it was fantastic on muddy forrest trails, where normal road shoes have almost zero traction. (It was also a total game changer on wet cobblestone streets BTW.)

I use the novablast 4 tr, they are fantastic

They also have a trail version (TR) — I have them as part of my rotation, and I picked them up for a recent holiday where I did quite a lot of running, walking and hiking. Liked them a lot as a jack of all trades!

Like the others have suggested Salomon Aero glide gravel or the Aero Blaze GTX. This beaded TPU stays consistent in the cold temps. Myself being in the north have had good luck past two winters using Novablast 4 TR. The upper here is thicker But the outsole when scored is Very tacky to snow Especially ice. **I believe with GTX models you have to account for upper with a 1/2 size up?

Novablast tr are great for park alleys maybe hard packed trails. The upcoming trabuco might be better then the 13s, also I have mafate speed 4 and they are far better in terms of grip and comfort then Trabuco Max 4. Some people say lasportiva has great trail running shoes, and new balance seem to offer grip and comfort in some of their trail runners.

Leadville is fairly non-technical so you should be alright. The Novablast TR would be a slightly better option. Just get some trail runs in with them and make sure you’re comfortable.

I have these but pretty weak on any serious trail. Great for grade 1/2 type trails and on the road when it’s wet.
