002 Trail Running Shoe connects speed and stability with responsive ground feel
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
“I reach for the 002 when the terrain is unpredictable and I need to stay agile. The lower stack gives me more control on rocks and roots, and the Dyneema upper is unreal—it’s light, breathable, and tough as nails. These feel fast, responsive, and super secure.”
From loose scree fields to steep alpine switchbacks, the 002 Trail Running Shoe gives us a new level of precision and speed underfoot. Its lower stack height brings us closer to the ground for confident control, while a padded heel collar and dynamic lacing system keep the fit locked in and dialed. The seamless Bio-Dyneema® upper—crafted from the world’s strongest fiber—offers breathable, abrasion-resistant protection without adding bulk.
Underfoot, a pyramidal Vibram® SLE midsole cushions and responds through quick elevation changes and hard landings. The Litebase® Megagrip® soleplate with 5mm lugs sticks to slabby rock, wet roots, and technical descents with unshakable confidence. Engineered for all-day movement in rugged terrain and built with sustainably sourced, top-tier materials, the 002 is a trail shoe that keeps up when we push higher.

Amazing mountain shoe!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought:
- 13
I have had a chance to put about 100miles in these so far. Very well made, no delimitation and super grippy in some slot canyons! Toe box is slightly less wide than Altra. Runs small. I bought a 13 and normally wear a 12 US.

Took these on a rather technical 10-mile run as their maiden voyage. Not having any experience with the brand before but having strong preferences for durability, I can say I was pleasantly surprised. The cushioning in heel and stability is midsole were pretty fantastic. The wider footprint let me feel secure on uneven quick shifting terrain. The few jagged rocks that skimmed the sides of the shoe seemed to go unfazed. The only area of concern is the very front of the outsole tip where it seems the glue didn’t fully adhere giving way to a tiny lip. I’ll keep an eye on it but so far so good. For sizing, I typically were 10.5 in On Cloudultra with room in the toe box. I wear a 10 in dress shoes and Nike Killshot. These required me sizing up to an 11 because the 10.5 was cramped.

I usually run trails in Altra, Topo, or Xero. These have amazing traction and a secure fit. I recommend a full size up as I normally wear 12 and went with a 13 here.

First impressions

As others have said, size up. Correct fit for me was a 12 in these and I normally wear 10.5’s. Other than the sizing they seem pretty quality.

The build quality of these shoes is excellent. Looking forward to testing their durability. Super comfortable. I went up a 1/2 size and they fit great.

Excellent quality, light, runs SMALL
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- 11.5
- Weight:

Excellent design and quality, and super light - which you'd expect for such high-priced footwear. Beware of sizing however. On their website, Norda says go a half size up. I did, and it's still too small. You have to go up one full size or even a size and half to make them fit. Given that Backcountry charges you to return items (don't like that), it's best to try in store to tell for sure.
