I’m new to trail running and need a good starter pair trail running shoes. Any suggestions? I’ve always liked Adidas. Maybe Adidas Women’s Response Trail X Shoes or the Adidas Women’s Tundra Shoes?

Attagirl, you’re in for some fun. Trail running offers a whole new dimension to running. Run Bargains has a great selection of trail running shoes for runners of all abilities. But, since you’re more familiar with Adidas products, it may be safer to start with a pair of the “Tundra” or the “Trail Response” like you mentioned. Both are good shoes with agressive “Traxion” outsoles for good grip on the trails. They are made for neutral runners or runners who pronate (turn in) slightly. The main difference is that the “Trail Response” offers adiPrene cushioning in the forefoot as well as the heel and uses the “Torsion” system for midfoot stability. Those added features might be important to you depending on your running mechanics. Either pair you choose should start you down the trail.
