I want to start doing some trail running. Can anyone recommend some good shoes? I love Merrel for my hiking boots and both Asics and Brooks for my running shoes. I need a stability shoe since I'm flat footed.
Also, if anyone in the Northeast/MA knows of a good place to get them, where they know what they're doing, I would appreciate the info. The EMS near us doesn't have many pairs to select from and I don't want to get my first pair online.
Thanks!

****'s Sporting Goods! I love Merrel Avian light ventilator. Brooks also makes a trail shoe but I can't remember the name.0

I have had a good experience with Mizuno. My wife wears Brooks and really likes them. It all depends on what you need in a shoe, such as support, light weight, etc. Check out the groups, they will have lots of good info.0

OMG! That didn't work either! D.I.C.K.'S. Sporting Goods . . .0

Runner's World magazine just put out a Trail issue...Haven't read mine yet but I think there are some shoe reviews in it. You could also try their website, runnersworld.com
Good luck and have fun!0 -
I heard that New Balance WR1012 were supposed to be good running shoes for my plantar faciitis so I ordered them. Haven't gotten them yet to say for sure whether I like them or not.0

I use Adidas trail running shoes exclusively. Look for good tread, it makes a world of difference.0

Runner's Alley in Nashua, Manchester and Poertsmouth know what they are talking about. Not sure where you are in MA though.0

Not a trail runner myself (yet) if you were here in Canukistan I'd suggest checking out the Mountain Equipment Co-op (it seems to be the local go to shop for the trail running set here in Ottawa), I think the US equivalent is REI (http://www.rei.com/features/running-shop)0

Just picked up a pair of Brooks Cascadia 7's yesterday so haven't had a chance to use them yet - can hardly wait! I've been using my Mizuno road shoes the last couple of weeks and they've been working pretty well too. Any of those brands you mentioned put out some good trail shoes - go with what feels good for you.0

Unless you are planning to run on some craggly, rocky trails, an old pair of road shoes will do just fine most of the time.0

Vibram fivefinger KSO Treks, I love them!0

:laugh: With the censorship I thought it was going to be something terrible. I wondered why the hell someone would name their business F or C and how could they get away with it.0 -
I used Vibram fivefingers their amazing!0

This^^
If you do need specific shoes check the trail equivalent of your road shoes on the manufacturers web site and order the trail model in same size online?0 -
I have a pair of Asics trail runners and love them. But it also depends on your gait. Go get fitted and figure out what trail runners are good for your particuliar running style -- that's the best advice anyone can give.0
