Are trail shoes good for running road races?
if you mean trail shoes as in cross country shoes, then yes. as well as they are in good working conditions then you could go or, in your case, run anywhere. yet, if you mean hiking boots, then no, of course. hiking boots aren't meant to run in races. it seriously could damage your feet.
Reply:yes they are but they are a bit heavy, id say get some racing flats(not spikes). flats make it like you are running bare foot but with protection from the ground. very light, like lighter than sandals. they are pretty cool. but you can use trail shoes, they are fine.





all this is meant if you mean trail like cross country.
Reply:If you are going to be competing in road races, you should ditch your training shoes and run in lighter shoes. It really makes a difference. Asics makes great shoes for racing.
