The only time we felt truly uncomfortable running in the Divide 2 was in highly technical, mountainous terrain. Although the wide platform extends back to the heel, the low-cut and soft material of the upper doesn't offer the type of ankle stability we need to navigate technical trails. The outsole is made with the same TrailTack rubber as other popular Brooks shoes, but the shallow lugs don't offer the same consistent traction over loose rocks and dirt. But this shoe isn't designed for alpine trail running; it's designed as an entry-level shoe set up to handle easy trails. Bottom line, this is a high-quality option that balances performance and affordability for new trail runners.
The Altra Superior 5 offers an alternative fit wider than most trail runners and an incredibly soft and supple midsole for excellent sensitivity. These shoes are incredibly comfortable right out of the box, and their width and zero-drop create a very stable platform. They have a comfy burrito-style closure that keeps the feet locked in place, even though the laces don't go very far down the shoe. They also include a pair of removable rock plates that are very thin and flexible and slide in underneath the insoles.
Torrent Town Of Runners
A significant consideration when selecting a pair of trail running shoes is the value of the purchase. While one could simply assume that you get what you pay for, years of testing have proven that this isn't always true. When considering the value of a trail running shoe, three aspects are essential: price, performance, and longevity (e.g., durability). Two of these, price and performance, are easily quantifiable and can be compared directly. The Brooks Divide 2 is a particularly valuable option, as it scores nearly as high as some of the top competitors in key metrics yet costs significantly less. While this particular shoe may not appeal to seasoned trail runners, it is a fantastic entry-level option for those interested in trying out trail running for the first time.
Before humans started wearing shoes, feet provided a critical link with the world we lived in via their sense of touch. Honoring this evolutionary history, many runners have found that they are better runners when the sensitive link between the feet and ground is maintained, and even more satisfied runners. Perhaps the primal activity of running itself touches the heart a bit deeper when our ancestral connections to the earth are maintained. If this connection is more important to you than the protection of a trail shoe, you may be happier with a barefoot style shoe.
Some shoes, like two of Altra's offerings, the Superior 5 and Lone Peak 6, are stylized after these barefoot-style shoes. They maintain a similar low- or zero-drop profile, wide toe box, and lightweight design without sacrificing the type of underfoot protection we expect from a trail runner. Other burlier mountain runners, like the La Sportiva Bushido II, can't sacrifice support or grip for the sake of sensitivity. But their lower stack height brings your foot closer to the ground, increasing that necessary sense of connection. Several other lightweight options, such as the Topo Athletic MT-4 offer a lower stack height and increased flexibility to improve ground feel and your overall sense of movement.

The Hoka Tecton X uses a thin, flexible Jacquard engineered mesh upper, with no overlays or reinforcements other than a protective stone guard at the forefoot. This mesh is breathable and comfortable for your feet. The use of recycled and vegan materials will delight carbon footprint-conscious runners and animal lovers.
This new model of trail running shoe from Hoka has won over the majority of trail runners who have tested it. They agree that the ride is light, flexible, and responsive. The ride feels excellent on its preferred terrains, moderately technical terrain (dry or frozen ground, packed snow). Even running on asphalt is quite unexpectedly pleasant for a trail running shoe! On the other hand, it could be better for more challenging surfaces, like rocky paths, sticky mud, or soft snow.
On the downside, some runners are skeptical about the incremental value of the carbon plates, taunted as a great technological revolution for trail running. Indeed, ultramarathon running is not only about speed for the common mortal. Finally, others were not too impressed with the so-called concept of tectonic plates and judged the shoe was actually unstable on tricky trails.
Torrenting files may have a certain reputation, but torrents are simply a way of distributing data. Torrents transfer data over the BitTorrent protocol to facilitate decentralized, peer-to-peer file sharing.
This is why torrents are an accepted part of the free and open source software world. Many Linux distributions have limited server bandwidth available for downloads. Torrents allow users to get their hands on Linux distros more quickly and then help spread the software.
qBittorrent's early goal was to provide a uTorrent-like client for Linux, because that proprietary piece of software did not provide any support for the free desktop at the time. Since uTorrent is the most popular torrent client outside of China, many people will find qBittorrent's interface familiar.
The qBittorrent developers have also taken on the task of replicating the kind of feature set people accustomed to uTorrent have come to expect. So if you're used to uTorrent and are switching to Linux, this may be the first app for you to consider. You may even want to download qBittorrent for Windows as well, just to avoid changes made in uTorrent over the last decade or so.
qBittorrent is written in Qt, an additional perk for Linux users who don't run GTK-based desktops. Qt is also a very cross-platform language, so qBittorrent is a great app if you want to use the same software across many different operating systems.
qBittorrent is hardly the only free uTorrent competitor in town. Deluge is another open source torrent client designed to be fast, lightweight, and feature-rich. You can set speed limits and schedule when it's okay to use more bandwidth. There's also password protection, and you can increase the list of features by installing plug-ins.
To get technical in a way that matters to some Linux users, one difference between Deluge and other apps is that it's written in Python rather than C. Unlike qBittorrent, Deluge's Linux app interface is GTK+ only. Qt fans looking for another alternative may want to look further down this list.
Transmission has long served as the default torrent client for many Linux distributions, and for good reason. This is a free software app that has been around long enough to prove itself as reliable. The developers also designed this software with simplicity in mind, so it's easier for torrenting newbies to dive in.
GNOME Fragments is basic as it gets, even compared to Transmission. That's not necessarily a bad thing. GNOME Fragments takes all of the complication out of downloading torrents, and the app comes with an initial launch screen with simple instructions to get you started.
Fragments is great for Linux users who only download torrents occasionally and are more concerned with figuring out how to download a torrent file rather than all the cool things they can do with one. Even long-time torrent users can find something to appreciate in having a torrent client as simple as your browser's download manager. 2ff7e9595c
