Trail running shoes have changed dramatically over the past two decades, but some brands are still judged by what they were doing in the early 2000s. In this episode, Josh is joined by Taylor Bodin—Lead Trail Reviewer at Believe in the Run—to dig into the history of The North Face in trail running and why its current footwear lineup is pushing the category forward.

From the origins of shoe drop to the evolution of modern trail design, the conversation wanders through the stories, decisions, and experiments that shape the gear runners rely on today—plus plenty of deep gear nerd territory along the way.

For trail runners who love understanding the gear behind the miles.
