To protect against rocks, sticks, and other potential path hazards, these shoes have thick soles with more active track patterns. The construction of trail shoes minimizes excessive foot rotation. Also, the demand for trail running shoes is being driven by an increase in trail running around the world.

Merrell's MTL collection was thoroughly tested in the lab and by athletes to provide agility, adaptability, and trail-specific protection even in the harsh off-road situations.
Additionally, in 2022, Inov-8 launched the first trail running shoe infused with nitrogen gas. Running shoes like the TRAILFLY ULTRA G 280 are made to provide extra underfoot bounce. According to the testing performed by the company, the shoe returns 65%–68% of the energy used as opposed to a normal foam, which only provides 45–48%. The new shoes also contain innovative underfoot flexing technology that makes runners feel more connected to the path and graphene, which is 200 times stronger than steel.

To enhance the attractiveness of trail and mountain running, the two running associations are working together with the International Association of Ultrarunning (IAU), a consultancy partner, under the terms of the new contract.
