Why specific trail running equipment is essential
Trail running — whether on mountain trails, forest paths, varied terrain or long distances — places specific demands on the feet: uneven terrain, impact, elevation changes, friction, humidity and long distances. A pair of shoes alone is often not enough to guarantee comfort, protection, stability and performance. The SIDAS Trail Running collection brings together suitable equipment—insoles, socks, accessories—to improve the trail experience, protect the foot and optimise performance.
Products in the SIDAS Trail Running range
- Specialised insoles for trail running — The insoles are designed to provide anatomical support, stability, arch support and cushioning adapted to the demands of trail running. They improve internal grip, limit micro-friction and reduce the risk of blisters or discomfort — particularly useful over long distances or on technical terrain.
- Technical Trail/Ultra-Trail socks — SIDAS trail socks combine breathability, moisture management, foot/ankle support, comfort and friction reduction. They are designed to minimise blisters, adapt to long distances, and offer comfort and stability even on uneven trails.

Accessories & foot solutions for trail running — In addition to insoles and socks, the range includes useful accessories: insoles for trail running shoes, anti-friction or anti-blister protection, compression sleeves, toe/metatarsal protection, gels or pads for comfort over long distances. These items help optimise your complete foot + shoe + terrain equipment — essential for trail running, hiking and ultras.
Who this collection is suitable for
- Regular or committed trail runners, long distances, ultras, trail hiking — for whom comfort, support and protection are crucial for endurance.
- Occasional trail runners — who want to try trail running, run on paths or in the forest without pain, blisters or discomfort.
- Those who run on varied, technical, mixed terrain — stony trails, descents, climbs, sprints, mud, uneven surfaces — and need versatile but robust equipment.
- For those who want a comprehensive approach to foot + shoe + equipment comfort, to maximise enjoyment, performance and protection.
Tips for use & best practices
- Combine insoles + socks + suitable shoes: effectiveness comes from the whole, not just one element.
- Choose the right insoles for your feet and type of activity: support, cushioning, stability depending on your body type, terrain and distance.
- Test your equipment on moderate outings before attempting long distances—to check comfort and fit and avoid unpleasant surprises.
- Care for your socks and insoles: wash gently, air dry, avoid fabric softener/tumble dryer—to maintain breathability, cushioning and lifespan.
