EXCLUSIVE: Alo Launches New Trail Sneaker as It Continues to Invest in Footwear

April 7, 2026

Alo is set to launch its first trail sneaker as the wellness lifestyle company continues to invest in the footwear category.

Aptly named the Alo Trail, the sneaker is described by the company as a “a high-performance silhouette engineered for multi-terrain movement.” To accomplish this, the Alo design team added an oversized sole to the model along with a speed drawcord lacing system with locking closure, and a stabilizing heel clip for added support.

Abby Gordon, chief officer of design and merchandising at Alo, told FN in an interview that creating this shoe was all about offering consumers a “fashion-forward look that would be at home on city streets and styled for all-day wear.”

“I love the oversized traction pattern on the sole,” Gordon said. “It gives the Trail a very rugged look, while delivering the grip and performance needed for trial running. However, I really think that it’s the overall look of the shoe, and how the different design elements come together, that sets it apart.” WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY
