April 2015 Top 7 Trail Shoes

Lone Peak 2.0 M 2

May is here…so fast!

Here are our #Top7 Trail Shoes for April, men’s and women’s combined:

  1. Altra Lone Peak
  2. Pearl Izumi Trail N2
  3. Hoka Challenger ATR
  4. Pearl Izumi Trail M2
  5. Merrell All Out Peak
  6. Salomon Sense Pro
  7. Altra Superior 2.0

The Lone Peak once again reigns supreme, fending off March’s Top shoe, the Merrell Peak.

The Challenger makes it to the list for the first time; April was the first full month we had these shoes.  They should stay on, or close to the Top7, for a long time!

Topo missed the list for the first time all year; sales are still strong…but Runventure availability is low until June, so they may miss the Top7 for May as well!!

Shoes that look worthy of competing for the Top7  in future months:

  • Montrail Fluid Flex ST
  • Merrell All out Charge
  • Pearl Izumi Trail N1–when the new version comes out in July
  • Hoka Speedgoat–when it comes out in July

Lists For:

March
February
January
