Hello,

Can anyone help me sort out my day-to-day running shoes please?

Ive been a road runner for around 32 years, completing many full and half marathons, using 8mm drop shoes (usually Asics and Saucony). Last year I moved home to somewhere more rural and surrounded by hills so took the plunge to trail and fell running. I've done a few fell races, the last being Kinder Trog.

However, I am definitely confused with the array of shoes available and want something that gives reasonable cushioning but allows me to feel the ground. The terrain I run over varies from forest paths, to gravel tracks and a lot of grassy hills.I average about 40-50 miles per week all off road.

Ive tried lots of shoes mainly Inov8 Parkclaw (yes I know - but they felt very comfortable until the midsole wore through to the shank on the last couple of pairs, after about 200 miles!!!)I'm currently alternating between the Saucony Guide ISO and the Inov8 Trailtalon, but I've also tried the Salomon Sense Ride and found the Mudclaw's very good for the Kinder Trog.

Any ideas and suggestions would be gratefully received.
