  • I tend to have two active pairs of running shoes at any one time.

    Gel Kayano for road and some Hoka trail shoes for offroad. Given that most of my winter running is on grass/light mud around Blackheath and Greenwich Park I think my virtually uncushioned trail shoes are a bit of overkill. They're great for proper trails/mud/ice/slush etc but thats not what I tend to use them for.

    Is there such a thing as a running shoe thats in between full trail and full road? I.e something that has a bit more grip but also some fairly signficant cushioning? My Kayanos are a bit slidey for days like today.

  • There's things like Nike Pegasus Trail
    Dare I say it, they look like they're ideal for gravel...

    I was in the market for something similar, as it requires a few miles of tarmac if I want to link up local trails to me. I took a punt on these for £40 (10% off when you sign up). Very impressed with them on sodden trail and comfy on road.

    I guess it depends what "significant cushioning" is for you, but you might want to look at New Balance Hierro.
    They got rather fat Fresh Foam X cushioning and their (Vibram) soles are really good I think 👍
