  • Used to use inov8 mud claw but if it’s a mix of rock and mud they don’t offer much protection. Bruised soles aren’t great

    I now use Altra Timp. They are ace, but probs a bit wide in the toe box for some

  • Altra Timp

    The reviews I looked up said they might be a bit narrow?

    I got lucky and scored a pair of adidas solar glide (very lightly used) for £20 off ebay. That's what I've been running in for the last year on road and they've been fine so my road needs are taken care off at least

  • I would say the opposite of the Altra timps I have are the widest shoes I’ve ever had, my custom footbeds slip around inside them. I thought one of the design features was the really wide toebox

  • Do you need a wide toe box? If you do, I urge you to try Topo's. I was using Lone Peak's for a long time and thought they were great.... until they died every 200km and became the sloppiest shoe in the world after 50km.

    I now have 500k on a pair of Terraventure 3's (hiking and trail running) and they're still holding up very well. I have a pair of MTN Racer 2's turning up today to use exclusively for trail running. The fit is impeccable. Properly wide, foot shaped toe box and a good snug midfoot and heel.
