"The Eliot Range doesn't resemble anything else in my current shoe rotation. I spent most of the summer running in highly cushioned shoes meant for the long haul, often clad in colors best described as aggressively bright. As my training shifted back toward the road this fall, the Eliot Range became my go to for moderate distance trail runs."
"The fit is true to size, and the shoe feels remarkably svelte on the foot. A U.S. men's 9 has an actual weight of 9.5 ounces (269 grams) and a 34.5-millimeter stack height at the heel and 25.5 millimeters at the forefoot, resulting in a 9-millimeter drop. Runners familiar with the Tracksmith Eliot Runner will likely recognize elements of its construction - including merino wool in the upper."
"Founded in 2014, the brand built its reputation on classic collegiate-inspired running apparel, muted color palettes, and an emphasis on quality materials and U.S. manufacturing. In a shoe category increasingly dominated by maximal silhouettes and loud colorways, the Eliot Range feels like an intentional departure from the expected."
Tracksmith, a Boston-based running brand founded in 2014, introduces the Eliot Range, its first trail shoe, priced at $240. The shoe maintains the brand's signature collegiate-inspired design with muted colors and quality materials. Weighing 9.5 ounces with a 9-millimeter drop, the Eliot Range offers a svelte profile compared to contemporary maximal trail shoes. The shoe incorporates merino wool in the upper, trail-specific foam, a nylon plate, and Vibram outsole. After 200 miles of testing on manicured trails and Forest Service roads, the shoe fits true to size and performs well for moderate-distance runs. The premium price point reflects the brand's emphasis on quality construction and U.S. manufacturing.
