The North Face has taken an opportunity to fill a niche they may have been missing. Its new Single-Track may be its most versatile shoe yet, mixing one-part road with two-parts trail and coming up with an effective hybrid.

The update to the 875 builds on its strengths while throwing in a few new twists. The upper takes the fit of monosock construction and adds a stretchy neoprene tongue with two wide “wings” that wrap over the instep and rest between the sides of the shoe and the laces to keep out trail debris.

Designed for both on- and off-road use, the Rockridge is a new, versatile trail runner in Montrail’s broad line of trail running shoes.

The Raptor is a sibling to last year’s sleeper, the Wildcat. Built on the same last, the upper here is a closely woven mesh with a full rand that has a smooth, mud-shedding surface.
