Men's Running Shoes by Surface

Roads & Pavement

Road running shoes feature smooth outsoles that are designed for running on paved surfaces such as roads, sidewalks, and bike paths.
Smooth Trails & Fireroads

Designed to handle most trail runs, these shoes prioritize comfort and a smooth ride. These shoes are great for anything from smooth singletrack, park trails, and fireroads making them ideal for those who run from their doorstep on streets before hitting the trail.
Rocky & Technical Trails

These shoes are best used for hard, rugged trails such as shale, granite or sandstone where grip on smooth surfaces and underfoot protection are important.
Soft & Muddy Trails

Designed for use in muddy, soggy conditions, these shoes feature very aggressive outsoles that dig deep into soft ground for exceptional traction.
Snowy & Icy Trails

These shoes feature technical outsoles designed to grip snowy and icy trails making them ideal for winter trail running.

Cushioning Level

Cushioning level, or stack height, refers to how much shoe is between your foot and the ground. For this category, we reference the amount of cushioning below the forefoot as the heel height will be equal to or greater than the forefoot height.
Learn more about stack heights and how we measure them.
Barefoot

0-13mm. The Shoe generally does not have a midsole and feels like there is no cushioning. This shoe is all about feeling the ground underfoot.
Minimal

14-18mm. The shoe has a thin midsole that allows for a natural running experience. Racing shoes and minimalist shoes are common here. These shoes offer a feeling of being connected to the road or trail.
Low

19-23mm. The shoe has a slightly cushioned feel and may feature added cushioning technologies. Performance training shoes and some trail shoes are common here. These offer protection during footstrike but prioritize a lightweight, grounded experience.
Medium

24-28mm. These shoes have a stack height that fall near the middle of the spectrum.The shoes in this category are verstaile and great for all types of runs and distances.
High

29-34mm. The shoe has a thick midsole and ample cushioning. These shoes are highly protective and absorb more impact than the body.
Maximal

35mm plus. The shoe has an extremely thick midsole and extra cushioning. The focus is on protection and soft foam underfoot with hardly any ground feel.

Stability Level

Neutral

Neutral shoes support the foot through a normal range of arch collapse and generally do not have a built-in technology to correct movement.
Stable

Stability shoes are a great option for those who overpronate or need added support. These shoes help to limit the inward rolling motion of the ankle while running or walking and assist in guiding the foot straight through the gait cycle.

Product Details:

Whether you're an experienced trail runner gearing up for a 50K race or a beginner looking to explore nearby trails on weekends, the NNormal Kjerag is the perfect companion to tackle running adventures. Made for runners of every level, this lightweight and ultra-durable shoe has everything you need in a trail running shoe. The Kjerag's midsole is made of EExpure foam, providing a propulsive and responsive ride throughout your run. With a low-to-ground feel, the Kjerag (pronounced sche-rak) is nimble enough to keep up with the fastest of runners and protective enough to face any terrain head-on.

Another highlight of the NNormal Kjerag is its durability, thanks in part to the Vibram Megagrip with Litebase outsole. The 3.5 mm lugs offer confidence-inspiring bite in any condition, and the Megagrip rubber is both sticky and long-lasting. The Matryx upper adds to the shoe's longevity while providing excellent breathability and water drainage. Thanks to its highly versatile and adaptable nature, the NNormal Kjerag is a great option for a nimble and connected experience for every trail runner, regardless of their experience level.

Killer RacerThey are exceptional race-ready trail runners. They’re impressively light, making them ideal for speed and agility on technical terrain. Despite their minimal feel, the cushioning is surprisingly effective enough to stay comfortable even during long efforts. The build quality stands out, with durability that has held up well across several hundred miles, showing only moderate signs of wear. They feel secure, responsive, and fast underfoot. The only drawback I encountered was the sizing; they run small and required going up a full size for a proper fit. Aside from that, these are among the best lightweight trail shoes I’ve used—perfect for racing or fast training days when every ounce matters.

A shoe that is on another levelI can say that the work they did on this shoe is truly noticeable. It's excellent in terms of comfort, considering the pursuit of fast paces. I would really recommend it up to a distance of 50K. Beyond that, I don't think the cushioning is as good. I understand that Kilian ran the 100M at the UTMB, but let's agree that the shoes he uses are special and probably not the same ones that come out on the market. In conclusion, highly recommended, but for short ultras.

Only shoe worse is the TomirDon’t waste your money, Killian should be embarrassed at this product. Lasts a month or less if you’re running daily.

Grippy and light shoe for fun trail runsAs a follow-up to a previous review, highly recommend going true to size (TTS). Going down a 1/2 size at first felt very glove-like/perfect. Yet on trails, toe splay would be impeded by jamming against the forefoot's protective walled contruction. After ~50 miles, can't ask for anything more from these shoes. Fast, light, grippy and durable. No insole, minimal drop w/ the just the right amount of protection and energy return. Expecting these NNormals to hold up over 800+ miles, which helps justify the high price point.

Second pairFirst pair was still going strong at 600 mi but I wanted to grab another one. Wide and high toe box, narrow heel, super light. Drains perfectly from snow and water, great traction.

Narrow shoeToo narrow for me at the midsole If wider fit around my arch, I would give them a 4 if not five star

Durable, fast ShoeGreat trail shoe! I’ve used it for both training and racing up to 50k. It’s lightweight but still very grippy. I like to actually feel the ground below me as I run, so this shoes is great for that. It does run long and narrow, so I would be aware of that.

Excellent, Durable Trail ShoeExcellent shoe! It's light and very durable. I've stumbled over a few rocks and had branches snag the sides but the shoe had no damage. It preformed well on fire roads and technical trails. I really like the low stack hieght and it has just enough cushioning. It does take a few runs to break in, but they are very comfortable. I have slightly wide feet but ordered my normal running shoe size and they fit perfectly.

They don't work for low-volume feetIf you have a wide foot, these may be good shoes for you. They are well-made, comfortable, and have decent grip. But they provide little support from the shoe materials, so if your feet aren't big enough, you're going to wobble on them. I wanted to use these shoes for my upcoming 100 miler. I wanted to love them. I wore them around the house for days, and yes, they felt like they would be comfortable for 100 miles. But the big test run, the Cat's Tail Trail marathon, was the test that showed me that they wouldn't work for me. I twisted my left ankle in the first 5 miles. Not too bad, so I just carried on and made a note to try and tighten the shoes later as they seemed to give no support at all, and yet also have this serious amount of foam under them. I couldn't get them tight enough though to stop me twisting my ankle more seriously twice more, and I ended up hobbling to the finish. Compared to my Salomon Pulsar 2s, they were so unstable, and I'm going with those for my 100. I think it's just a case of them not working for my low-volume left foot. I ordered them a half size down, and based the sizing on NNormal's own sizing guide (my right foot is bigger than the left one). A full size down would not have worked for my right foot.

Light and Quick, Traction is TopTraction (wet and dry) is the best I've ever experienced in a trail runner. If running form is not efficient or are a pronator (like me), this NNormal shoe is on the minimalistic end (esp mid/forefoot strikers). Ground feel is apparent and appreciated. Heel protection is more than adequate with subtle springy-ness when standing or walking in the shoes. The Kjerag is light and fast. I use them for up to a 10k though it's clearly a shoe that can go farther if one's running mechanics are sound. Was not able to test shoe's water drainage capabilities. On sizing, I wear 11.5 (ex Adidas Terrex, Brooks Catamount, Salomon Genesis). Based on reviews, I went down a half size to 11's in the NNormal. At first everything seemed ok after four trail runs of 4-6 miles each in 50-60 degree days. Now today, being warmer and humid, my toes are touching the top of both shoes. There is also a feeling of a slight protrusion in the sole under the right midfoot when pressing down. I am thinking that by going down a half size (for me at least), I was placing adverse stress on the natural design of the shoe. I have re-ordered the shoe in my normal 11.5 sizing. Can't see any reason why this shoe wouldn't last 700+ miles. Built very well and lots of protection.
