Trail Runner
Support and stability doesn't have to mean "overbuilt." XTERRA's XR1.0 are the ultimate all-purpose running shoes. Lightweight and stable, this shoe provides the optimal flexibility, breathability, cushioning, and support to handle the roughest trails or the calm neighborhood roads. A running shoe for heel-strike and forefoot runners alike.

When we set out to design the XTERRA XR1.0 we wanted to create the best trail running shoe for our races. Colin Chapman designer and builder of Lotus Cars fame said "Simplify and add lightness." We realize this automotive reference is a bit obscure for our world of XTERRA racing, but "Simplify and add lightness" is very relative. A traditional "trail runner" is overbuilt, too heavy, too stiff, and the lugs are so severe they can be felt through the shoe. While running in a road shoe on the trail does not provide enough support, traction or rock protection. Having run trails all over the USA we settled on a few truths to address:
  • Trails have a lot of different surfaces.
  • Running on trails or to trails often means miles on the road too.
  • Rocks and roots can hurt!
  • A stable platform is key.
  • That extra ounce or two on your shoe lifted, say 4000 times adds up to whole bunch of weight!
  • Cushioning is important on all surfaces.
Our solution is the XTERRA XR1.0.

NOTE: We offer an 100% absolute guarantee on any purchase of our shoes!!! Run, race or simply walk in what we feel is the best multi surface trail running shoe on the market with our 30-day guarantee and if you are not completely satisfied please return them for a full refund or a size exchange.

Shoe feedback February 11, 2010
Reviewer: Matt M. from VT  
I've gotten quite a few runs in on the shoes and I have to say they're quickly becoming my favorite offroad shoe.  A couple weeks back I did a duathlon at Catamount in Burlington and it went pretty well- ran slow, but felt good.  The shoes were great in the variable terrain- some really soft dirt, mud and hardpacked gravel in spots.

new shoes February 11, 2010
Reviewer: James T. from CA  
I just wanted to let you know what I think about my new XR1.0 trail running shoes.  I am a 6' tall, 205 lb. man who runs 25-40 miles of trails per/week.  My feet are a little wide and I am always looking for shoes that come in wide sizes.  My choices have been very limited.  What I end up doing is going up in size to fit my width at the expense of extra sloppy length.  The XR1.0 fits my width in my regular size and that is very nice.
I currently own trail shoes by Pearl Izumi, Aisics, New Balance, Merrell, Soloman, and Addidas.  So far I've only done 2 runs in my new XTerra shoes; a 14 and a 9 mile run in El Moro Canyon in Crystal Cove State Park in Laguna Beach, CA.  I must say that I think I have a new favorite pair of running shoes.  They are light-weight yet have enough cushioning.  They are very comfortable.  So far I love them.  I need to put more miles on them to check the endurance (I usually put about 350 miles on a pair). Thank you for the wonderful shoes.
