What I'm after...
What's your budget?
If you're cheap like me then I can suggest Asics gel pulse. I do the majority of road and dry off-road miles in these and they last ages.
If you want a bit more toe box room then Saucony should generally work for you. I might have a pair of Saucony ride in uk9.5 that I need to sell on.

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
