Running near a lake, in the foothills, or through a wooded trail asks more of your gear than a neighborhood loop does. A pair of wide toe box hiking shoes gives your feet room to move naturally, while a low or zero drop, responsive sole helps you adjust to roots, rocks, and mud. Pair them with gaiters to keep debris out, and let someone know your route before heading out.
