BI
Believe in the Run Youtube

A genuinely versatile road-to-trail hybrid they really enjoy — it handled technical trails well, feels like a road shoe on pavement, and seven of the top ten at Cocodona were wearing it.

Best for: Runners who want one $160 shoe that genuinely works on both road and trail

+2 earlier reviews from Believe in the Run

A genuinely no-compromise hybrid road-to-trail shoe — light, bouncy, durable, with grippy enough outsole for non-technical terrain and a smooth rockered ride that feels like a quality road shoe on pavement.

Best for: One-shoe-quiver runner who mixes road, gravel, and non-technical trails; even works for ultra-distance racing.

Robbie loves the ride and bouncy CircleCell midsole — first eco-foam he says he wouldn't even want to label as eco because it feels so good — but the upper is a touch too voluminous in the forefoot for his foot.

Best for: Road-to-trail running where you don't want to compromise on either surface; ultra-distance use validated by J Curry's 800-mile burrito challenge in this shoe.

A versatile hybrid trail/road shoe with a lively Circle Cell midsole and durable build — let down only by shallow lugs on technical terrain and a fiddly dual-lacing system.

Best for: Hybrid road-to-trail running on buffed-out trails, gravel, and travel where you want one shoe to do both surfaces.
