Altra Outroad:
Nice natural option for any terrain
Craft CTM Ultra 3:
Great road shoe in its own right. More for light trails and gravel rather than North coast antics but nice road focused option.
Craft Nordlite Ultra:
Designed for long distance multi terrain training and racing. Loads of cushion and a great rocker to reduce fatigue over the long haul.
HOKA Challenger 7 ATR:
Another great shoe from Hoka. Oodles of comfort in an all terrain package that will handle tarmac and hard packed trails well.
Salomon Ultra Glide 2:
Technically a trail shoe but not too aggressive lug profile and loads of cushioning mean this make a great shoe to take you where ever the adventure goes.
Inov8 Parkclaw G280:
Nice option if you prefer to be a little closer to the ground. Graphene outsole makes this one built to last.
