In Search of the Perfect Shoe Match

Of all the daily services we provide to our customers, by far the most important is helping folks select the proper pair of shoes. How those shoes fit, feel, are priced and, most importantly, how they match each individual’s particular gait mechanics are just a few of the many thoughts and priorities that go into selecting the proper shoe for each individual Ragged Mountain patron.

Ragged Mountain July Shoe of the Month:

Inov-8 320 & 295- Inov-8 is a British company that specializes in trail shoes, and these two models are the most technical and trail-specific shoes we carry. Both of them are lightweight with a lower than normal heel-to-toe ratio which helps to increase ankle and foot stability on uneven ground. The 320 is a stability shoe for light to moderate overpronation, while the 295 is a neutral shoe for a more efficient stride.
