Beginner
Yes, but build a base on road shoes first. If you are new to trail running, the AERO BLAZE 4 GRVL's 8mm drop and soft midsole are approachable, making it suitable for 2-3 sessions a week and 40-80 km per month on gravel and dirt paths. With no trail experience at all, start on gentle dirt paths to get used to the footing before tackling technical sections.
