NNormal Kjerag Brut Trail Running Shoes Unisex redefine performance on unpredictable trails, delivering an agile, grip-focused experience that powers you through mud, rain, and technical terrain without weighing you down. This is trail footwear engineered for speed, reliability, and comfort when conditions turn dirty.
Inspired by the Kjerag philosophy of speed, performance and lightness, the Kjerag Brut combines a breathable, quick-drying upper with a robust, high-traction outsole. It’s designed to stay light on your feet even when the trail turns soft or slippery, while keeping you confidently connected to the ground.
-
Grip for muddy, variable terrain: Vibram Megagrip Litebase outsole with 6.5 mm lugs delivers exceptional traction on soft ground, wet rock, and slick angles so you can push your pace in tricky conditions.
-
Lightweight, fast-drying upper: Matryx Micro and Matryx Jacquard provide breathability and rapid water drainage, helping the shoe shed moisture quickly after creek crossings or rain-soaked sections.
-
Responsive, energy-return ride: EExpure midsole foam offers high energy rebound for powerful strides across unstable surfaces, paired with a 6 mm drop for a natural, balanced feel.
-
Smart, minimalist fit: Sock-like collar with an external molded heel counter minimizes weight while preserving security on uneven trails.
-
Robust yet ultra-light: Built for technical terrain with the lightweight ethos of the Kjerag Line—speed, performance and lightness that don’t compromise durability.
-
Precise specs you can feel: 8.5 UK (42⅔ EU) weight ranges from 216 g to 230 g; lug profile reaches 6.5 mm and a 6 mm drop; outsole compound is optimized for durability and grip without excessive bulk.
-
Materials that matter: Tongue uses 59% recycled Nylon, 31% rubber, 10% Spandex; upper combines 71% Polyamide, 15% PU, 14% Polyester. Matryx Micro provides micro-openings for drainage and a lighter, wider feel.
Practical scenarios where the Kjerag Brut shines include muddy races, wet alpine approaches, and conditions where terrain shifts from boggy to rocky in the same run. It thrives when you need agility on soft ground but still want the confidence of a protective, well-cushioned ride. If you’re chasing fast, distance-ready performance on challenging trails, this is the pair you reach for.
What makes it special in real-world use is how the combination of quick drainage, breathable upper, and aggressive grip translates into fewer soaked feet, steadier footing, and the ability to maintain pace through variable surface textures. This shoe isn’t just about being light—it’s about staying in command when the trail proves unpredictable.
Who it’s for: serious trail runners and ultrarunners who encounter mud, snow, or wet terrain; runners who prioritize grip and drainage without sacrificing speed or weight; and outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliable performance on technical routes.
Rider insight: “Kjerag Brut takes all the great features of Kjerag: the rebound, light weight, grip and comfort, and gets what it needs for soft terrain like mud or snow with an aggressive sole and a more breathable upper to quickly remove water when you run in wet terrain. It’s my first choice when conditions turn dirty, something pretty common here in the north.”
