Our principal complaint is the lack of lockdown fit, which allows our foot to move side to side within the shoe, and isn't very desirable for seriously off camber terrain. As long as you don't expect top of the line performance, we think that this shoe presents pretty decent value, and makes for a solid budget pick. Power through any terrain with the FF Hierro trail running shoe or if you need a reliable stability shoe, try the FF Vongo. This means it's a hybrid design that's meant to add a little bit of added grip if you venture onto trails, but also remains low profile and fairly firm for enhanced durability on hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete.

These shoes are fairly comfortable, but also have a minimal amount of padding and cushioning on this inside of the upper, including the virtually unpadded tongue. We have no complaints about the comfort as it relates to rubbing or pinch points on the inside of the upper, but found it to be a fairly sloppy shoe overall, without the structure in the upper to securely grip the foot. The rubber is not overly grippy, but provides a decent amount of surface area for increased friction on hard surfaces. The AT TREAD outsole offers optimal traction in any environment, while the reinforced tip can help protect your toes from damage upon impact with roots or rocks. The rugged AT TREAD outsole helps provide enhanced traction on the trail or the road, while the FRESH FOAM midsole offers cushioning for unmatched comfort through the longest trail runs.The rugged AT TREAD outsole provides optimal traction on the trail or the road, while the FRESH FOAM midsole offers cushioning for unmatched comfort through the longest trail runs. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and in fact, many people prefer to run in a far more sensitive than protective shoe. The underfoot protection feels minimal, and thus we appreciated the shoe more on smooth trails like this one.

We feel that this shoe fits true to size, and while it is average to slightly narrow in the forefoot, is wider through the arch and heel. In this case, you likely get what you pay for, although we find them to be a surprisingly serviceable shoe on mellow terrain and for crossover purposes. With a low to the ground ride and not very much foam underfoot, these shoes are very sensitive, offering great trail feel on smoother trails. The lack of underfoot protection, low profile tread design, and sensitive ride, mean this is a shoe uniquely suited for crossover use, that is, seeing infrequent use on trails, or at least on trails that are of the more urban variety. The smooth transitions of the pinnacle underfoot cushioning experience are fine-tuned with updated midsole foam and enhanced forefoot stiffness.

Equipped with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the Fresh Foam Arishi Trail Goretex men's running shoe is built to withstand your trail running adventures in any weather. They are not well suited to the rigorous demands of technical mountain running, but serve their purpose for those wanting a budget option. The pattern of lugs on the sole of this shoe is very closely spaced together, with a lot of surface area for gripping solid surfaces. The men’s running shoe combines lightweight Fresh Foam midsole cushioning with an AT Tread outsole that grips many different surfaces with ease.

While they can't compete with our top picks, we do think this lightweight, sensitive trail runner can be a good choice as a cross-over shoe for those who like to run on roads or bike paths and also want to dabble in trails, especially for those on a budget or who just aren't committed enough to drop the cash that most trail running shoes require. The entire bottom of the shoe is covered in hexagonal lugs that are roughly 2mm tall and have a sharp bite and edge oriented directionally.

There is no rockplate sandwiched into the midsole that adds to rigidity, and the Fresh Foam compound feels fairly thin overall. The Arishi Trail are a very economical shoe that are senstive and lightweight, are with their low profile traction are ideally suited to crossover, road and trail, runs. We aren't surprised, considering this is a fairly minimal shoe without added features that contribute to a higher weight. Toe Protect technology helps to guard toes against rocks and debris, while the upper’s no-sew construction provides a sleek and supportive fit.These lugs are very short for a trail running shoe, and the rubber is not super sticky, but harder for greater durability. The shoe also has very little padding in the upper, with a virtually unpadded tongue, and minimal cushioning around the ankle opening that left us wanting a little bit more. Constructed with waterproof GORE-TEX® Invisible Fit technology, the New Balance Fresh Foam Arishi Trail Goretex men's running shoes combat moisture to help keep you dry in the rain or mud. The New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 running shoes are a great choice for those looking for luxurious comfort for the long miles. These shoes are fairly light on the scale, and also feel pretty light while running in them, a nice advantage considering they lack a lot of underfoot protection.
