Fell running shoe advice

[Mike Jackson]

Well I think that's what I want anyway. I took a tumble at dog agility yesterday when I slipped in the sand school. What I'm after is something with a good all terrain grip or even rubber spikes to run on sand or grass (quite often wet). The running shoes I've got just don't have enough grip off tarmac.

Now for the problem. I've got very wide feet and struggle to find shoes to fit so if I buy online I need somewhere that will accept returns. Alternatively if someone knows of a decent shop nearish Hastings.

Cheers

Mike

if you have problems with shoe sizes etc why not try some of these http://www.qvcuk.com/ukqic/qvcapp.aspx/view.2/app.detail/params.item.564136.cm_scid.KeywordSearch

not sure how well they would work, but the demo's i watched of them on the ice were great! I'd have thought they'd work well on sand/dirt too

Check the websites for inov-8 and salomon. AFAIK, they dominate the trail running scene.
I have a pair Salomon XA PRO 3D ULTRA (what a name...), they are superbly confortable and very grippy, although I havent done a lot of wet grass.
Inov-8 has a huge range of styles and soles design for all and specific terrains.

Cheers. I don't think the add on spikes will work for running but thanks anyway.

I'll have a look at inov-8 and Salomon.
