  • I'd love some shoe suggestions. I just got back to the UK and am going to be back to running on road and mud and I don't have any suitable shoes. I've got a couple of pairs of Salomons for trail (slab ultra + sense pro) but running in the Sense Pros on flat seems to give me calf issues and I'd like to keep the ultras for events. In general my feet are pretty easy going in terms of shoes, I like a bit of a toe box but it doesn't need to be huge. I'm also a 9.5 in case anyone is shifting anything.

    What I'm after...

    Road training workhorse - a long lasting road shoe with reasonable amounts of support. I'm not looking to go super fast on road, but will probably be doing some decent mileage. A trail crossover type shoe could also work.

    Mud shoe - a shoe that can handle slippy mud and slick conditions and hold up to winter conditions.

    Thanks

  • I think you’ve got to hit the shops and compare a bunch of different brands. I’m an Asics fan but I went through New Balance, Mizuno, Nike and Salomons to get there.
    Best tip I had was mix pairs in the shop so an Asics on the left and a Nike on the right. It’ll make your preferred choice leap out rather than the back and forth of trying different pairs on the treadmill (go to a shop with a treadmill).
