Newbie to the sport, tried it last year, injury kinda caught up, this year have entered two proper IMRA runs, including Carrauntoohil.
I hear so much about Walshs and Inov8s and getting a bit lost. At the moment just pottering around in Asics trail runners which seem fine, though never seem to see Asics pop up on many threads here. Plus I'm guessing that they are probably a little high on the heels, and as I want to stay with real open mountain running as opposed to forest trails, I understand this is less than ideal.
However, of course, money is a factor, and would like to get something that will be cheap while I ease my way further into the sport and see what suits, whether I need ankle support, wider foot or narrow etc. More Miles Cheviots and Adidas Kanadia seem to be about the cheapest, would anyone recommend them for a beginner?
