rabbit offers its debut trail running shoe: the High Country, a purpose-built shoe for runners who chase adventure across rugged terrain but want unmatched control, all-day comfort and a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Seven ultrarunners put the High Country to the test on a spring Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim traverse of the Grand Canyon. They conquered 43 grueling miles of steep, rugged terrain, proving the shoe’s performance.
“At rabbit, we believe trail running isn’t just a sport, it’s an adventure,” said Monica DeVreese, CEO of rabbit. “The High Country was born from the trails and built to meet the needs of those who run them.”
rabbit’s dedication to sustainability is at the core of the High Country. rabbit is a women-founded running brand dedicated to crafting high-performance gear for runners of all levels.

From steep alpine ascents to mellow dirt roads, the High Country adapts to it all. Trail conditions are unpredictable, but the High Country gives you the confidence to tackle anything—from loose scree to wet rock, from steep climbs to fast descents. Our 360 GRIP™ Outsole Technology combines a sticky yet durable rubber compound with precision-engineered lugs for unmatched traction in all directions. Its optimized rubber compound grips rock, dirt, roots, and mud, providing the ideal balance of grip and durability.
Locking Insole
The High Country redefines trail shoe design by focusing not just on outsole grip, but on total foot control. Featuring Blumaka Non-Slip Konnect™ insole with ZONAL GRIP™ technology, the insole locks the foot in place, eliminating unwanted slippage during climbs, descents, and sharp turns. Paired with the 360 GRIP™ Outsole, the shoe gives runners confidence on any terrain.
Cushion, Response
Trail runners require both responsiveness and resilience. The High Country delivers with a plush-yet-responsive ETPU Flowstate Foam midsole and patented Carbon Trax™ plates, engineered to provide energy return and stability over technical terrain and ultra distances.
Whether starting on pavement or crossing streams en route to remote singletrack, the High Country is designed to move with ease between environments, delivering a smooth ride from trailhead to summit.
Tough, Light Upper
Inspired by our trail-running apparel, the High Country’s upper is built to withstand the elements while keeping you comfortable mile after mile. Its upper, crafted from 60% recycled engineered jacquard mesh, is lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying. Strategic reinforcements offer protection without bulk, while a gusseted tongue and cushioned collar ensure a secure fit.
