Why we run the dirt

Roads are predictable. The trail asks for everything you've got.

Loose rock, wet roots, a climb that doesn't quit. LOAM is built for the part of running that pushes back, where the only way through is one honest step at a time. Not another sneaker. Gear made for the long way around.

The Switchback trail shoe
Meet the Switchback

built for the climb.

The Switchback is our hero shoe, engineered from the ground up for trail. A deep lugged outsole that bites into loose terrain, a knit upper that drains and breathes, and a midsole tuned to take the long descents without quitting on you.

Earthy through and through. Forest green, charcoal, and a gum sole, finished with a single clay lace so you never lose sight of the line you're chasing. Rugged craft you can feel on the first stride and trust on the last mile.

What makes the Switchback

Grip, drainage, and honest craft.

Three things that turn rough ground into the best part of the run.

The Switchback outsole and silhouette

The Switchback

Deep, aggressive lugs and a gum outsole that bites loose rock, wet root, and scree, then lets go clean for the next stride.

Knit upper detail in the rain

The knit upper

A breathable knit shell that drains fast and dries faster. Built to keep moving through creek crossings and afternoon storms.

Lacing the Switchback on a ridge

The craft

Lock-in lacing, reinforced toe, and a clay accent that earns its keep. Made to be laced up and trusted, mile after mile.

On the trail

Dirt, distance, and the long view.

Ridgelines at first light, switchbacks that climb forever, and the gear that goes the whole way with you.
