text: Trailrocs are great for running on gravel roads.  I have flat and wide feet that are very sensitive to rocks.  I have tried running on gravel roads with my New Balance Minimus and the rocks really hurt my feet as they strike the ground.  If you are looking for a great shoe to shield you from pointy rocks jabbing into the bottom of your feet then these are the right shoes for you.  The price is great too!
