A black trail running shoe with purple trim

Something on your mind? Chat about it here.

If you’re in the market for something with a little more traction than a sneaker, but not a full-blown hiking shoe, consider these trail runners from Allbirds.

I wore these shoes during a recent European vacation — the grippy treads and wider sole kept me steady on uneven cobblestone roads, and I found them comfortable mile after mile. The water-resistant finish will protect your feet in case you get caught in the rain, while the ripstop fabric will last.

Next up, a few light hikes.

These shoes are $140 (some colors on sale for $124). They come in whole and half sizes 5–11 and seven colors.
