Whether you love speeding down technical trails or getting lost in long hikes through nature, each activity, where elevation and terrain play a major role, requires footwear with specific features.
In this article, we’ll help you understand which Fessura model best suits your style of adventure.
The Difference Between Trail Running and Trekking
Trail running is dynamic and technical, often over uneven terrain and with steep elevation changes.
Here, you need lightness, grip, and responsiveness to climb efficiently, descend safely, and move with confidence and agility.
Trekking, on the other hand, is slower-paced but requires endurance.
You’re walking for longer periods, often with a backpack, across mixed and rugged surfaces.
In this case, protection, stability, and all-day comfort are key, especially if you’ll be on your feet for hours.
Which Shoe Should You Choose?
If you’re passionate about trail running, the new Ultratrail GSR is the most technical shoe in our collection.
Designed for medium to long distances in extreme conditions, it combines a lightweight yet durable upper, an outsole with exceptional grip on any terrain, and SLOT® Technology to absorb impact and return energy step after step.
It’s the perfect choice for those who demand pure performance, no compromises.
The Trail SBL E-10 and Trail VTR E-15, on the other hand, were built for trail use but with a sturdier structure, enhanced comfort, and increased ankle protection, making them equally great for trekking.
If you alternate between running and hiking, or frequently tackle technical trails, the SBL E-10 and VTR E-15 strike the right balance.
They offer superior stability, generous cushioning, and the comfort needed for slower-paced outings where responsiveness meets everyday ease. Perfect for fast hikes, light trails, and hybrid adventures.
These models are solid, protective, and stable designed to support you during longer treks.
Their soles adapt well to mixed surfaces, from forest floors to rocky paths, while their lasting comfort makes them ideal for those who love long walks without rush, but with total confidence.
Choose the one that matches your path, and get ready for your next adventure.
