Advice for Trail Runners: Looking for maximum grip on steep and muddy terrain? The Ronhill Women's Reverence Hill Running Shoes should be one of the best options.

Tested and designed in some of the most technical terrain in the English Lake District - there's unlikely to many options which perform better when extreme traction is required.

Underfoot Feel

The Ronhill Reverence Hill Running Shoes feature 7 mm lugs for optimum traction on soft, loose, rugged, and steep terrain. A stepped design helps promote more traction and ground penetration.

Even though shallower lugged outsoles are likely to perform better on flat wet rock, the MICHELIN outsole should do a very good job. In fact, the outsole utilises a special 'Outdoor Extreme Compound 3' super sticky rubber to promote better traction on wet ground. This has the added benefit of being durable enough for mixed terrain runs.

In order to help you go the distance, a dual density Duo-Pro midsole sits under your feet. The softer top layer should feel soft and comfortable. On the other hand, a firmer bottom layer helps improve stability on uneven ground.

Upper Fit

Ronhill deemed it paramount that the Reverence Hill Running Shoes offer lots of space in the toe box. This is because mountain running shoes can often feel constrictive across the forefoot - and uncomfortable as a result. Ronhill's True-Fit last design should accommodate the natural shape of your feet.

At the same time, hill running shoes need to offer ample support on technical terrain. For example, uneven surfaces and extreme cambers. To overcome this challenge, they feature an ultra durable full MATRYX® upper. The Kevlar reinforced mid and forefoot offers lots of midfoot support. This works in harmony with the split tongue design to optimise the fit.

Finally, a sturdy heel cup enhances stability around the ankle area.

Ideal Run Type

Part of the allure of heading off the beaten track is discovering new places and exploring the unknown. The Ronhill Women's Reverence Hill Running Shoes should help you run the path that looks the most adventurous. 

We recommend opting for these when you're going to be running over the most challenging terrain.

Sizing Advice

Shoe size is a personal preference and everyone's feet are different, but we want to ensure you avoid any pain or discomfort from bruised toenails, rubbing, blistering or pins and needles.

Your running shoes should have enough width to allow you to spread your toes and should have some space at the front (we recommend having a half to one thumb's width of space from the end of your longest toe to the front of your running shoes).

This usually means that your running shoe will be at least a half size bigger than your regular shoe size though this can vary from brand to brand.
