Lab test results
My first shoe from Scott trail shoes Fit and comfort of the Supertrac RC 2 Altra or Topo Athletic, I was very excited to try the new Scott Supertrac RC 2. Scott is not a brand I'm familiar with, but it seems to be a company that uses very high-quality materials in its shoes.
is very water-resistant
Scott uses a Schoeller Coldblack upper, which is breathable, even on warm summer days. The tongue is fairly thin, which sometimes caused it to get folded under, but overall, it was well-constructed and durable.
Not a plush ride in the Supertrac RC 2
Scott uses Aerofoam in its midsole, which I've found to be responsive and offered “just enough” cushioning for short or medium-distance runs. The Supertrac RC 2 does not offer a plush ride, but I did not feel like it was too firm. It gives you a very good “ground feel” but offers excellent protection against sharper rocks.
The outsole lugs on the
The outsole lugs on the Supertrac RC 2 updated Feb 16, 2024 Supertrac RC 2 was that it felt like soccer cleats. On the road or hard-packed dirt, the lugs can be a bit much, but on softer surfaces, this shoe found its bearings.
This shoe was fun when running on dirt trails with some mud or when running near the streams inside Olympic National Park, one of the gems of the National Park System.
The Supertrac RC 2’s most prominent feature is its outsole, which can hit mountains and other difficult terrain. It offered very solid traction when running uphill. My best moments in the Supertrac RC 2 so far have been on the downhills, where it offers great stability and protection.
In short, the worse the conditions, the better this shoe performed and felt.

Fit and comfort of the Supertrac RC 2
The Supertrac RC 2 is a shoe where your first impression may not be a good guide, due to its unique fit. I was unable to wiggle my toes at all.
I experimented with using thinner socks and loosening up the laces, which helped a great deal. The heel and ankle collar on the Supertrac RC have been from.
One of the consequences of loosening up the laces for my toes was that it produced a large gap in the ankle area. I eventually used ankle-lock lacing, which helped resolve the issue.
