Hello

Would love recommendations for some trail shoes. I run with my club 2-3 times a week and my long runs incorporate some trails. So would love to get a better grip as my normal trainers get a bit slippery in the mud. I over pronate and currently wear Asics gel virage 5.

Would love to know what everyone else uses or what you would recommend. Thanks

    If I were going to get trail shoes, I'd probably go with Altras. Lone Peak or Superior... one of those. They don't make them in a size 15 though, so I've never been able to try them. :(

    I would love to buy a Pair of Columbia Waterproof trail runners. CHACHING!

    That said, the only true trail runners I have are some 5 or 6 year old addidas. I think they were like $55.00
    They still make them too. I am doing an adventure race in April to which I will be running ,trekking, kayaking and peddling in my old faithful Addidas. I need to much other gear before then so I will have to hold of on the new TR's.

    I wear the salomon speedcross 3. Love them in the mud! I was the only one in the Mud Mile of Tough Mudder not slipping all over the place (that I could see!)

    I got some Columbia trail runners on Sierra Trading Post. They're probably like a "last year's model", but the price was right, and I like them a lot! I think they were called Master of Faster, and they are waterproof. I don't know that I'd recommend them to the original poster, because I don't have any feet problems. I'm not sure if they'd work for you or not. But if you know what you're looking for, I do recommend Sierra Trading Post . com.

    I love my Merrell Sonic Gloves so much I bought two pairs. Minimalist Vibram soles and water resistant. Perfect combination if you ask me!

    My primary trail shoes are Brooks Cascadia 6. Pretty much the opposite of minimalist. Big heel drop. They are tanks and I love 'em.

    I wear the Brooks Adrenaline GTX, they are waterproof and made with GoreTex. I ran 10 miles on my second run in them. Also, I got them on sale!

    Update: I have since bought a new pair of Trail runners. They are Adidas Kanadia TR 4's. They are the newest version of the old faithfuls that I was talking about above. I also bought my husband a pair. I am usually all about more minimalist and expensive shoes but I absolutly love the feel and traction on these. Read the reviews on amazon.com.
