The Dirt Division highlights a handful of trends in trail running footwear this year and gives their opinions on whether they love it or could do without it. Along the way, they do a little bit of forecasting, talk about a wide range of options, and end with a little bit of nonsense.... naturally.
GUEST: Seth LaReau is the writer behind the Trail Waves Substack. He approaches the trail space with a unique analytical mind, creativity, and passion. Taylor and Seth discuss his motivation for this output and higlight some of his current/past work.
