    Shoes for running on sand

    A few of us Fell Ponies are doing the Northumberland Coastal Run this weekend. This is to support our near relations, the Beach Donkeys.
    For the uninitiated, the Northumberland Coastal Run is a bit like the Marathon des Sables, only much shorter and with less sunshine, and instead of grumpy camels you have to contend with Geordies.
    What kind of shoes are best for beach running? Studs? Cushioned road shoes?
    Trail shoes? Advice please.

    ooo I have some of those....sooooooo comfy...well except after the ironman I took them thinking they would be a good idea afterwards but with the trenchfoot and blisters they were agony

    What were they wearing on that mara de sab docu last week? they looked more like boots though but whatever way you look at it you're still gonna get sand in your egg butties!!
