BEST Trail Running Shoes of 2025 // I Actually RACED in ALL of them !!!

This is my official list of the Best Trail Running RACE Shoes for 2025! I go through my entire season chronologically, reviewing all of the top shoes that I ACTUALLY RACED IN throughout 2025. I highlight the reasons for choosing each shoe for each particular race scenario, as well as other options that were in the mix. A few honorable mentions as well, as I look forward into the 2026 season. Will any of these 2025 models be on my feet again at a 2026 start line? Or are there upcoming models that might might offer something more? Let's dig in !!!
