I swear by the SOLE heat moldable inserts.

if you have some problems you can run on grass, it is amazing.
i do some easy-medium trail sometimes and my legs and knees are much better now thanks to soft surfaces.

do you have any suggestions for a trail-shoes ?

where i can run on slippery, wet, rocks surfaces ?

thanks, have a nice run !   :runner:    :old:

Mario what do you run in regularly? I run almost exclusively trails these days and recently transitioned to the brooks pure line but those are only good for people looking for a minimalist shoe. I've previously done the cascadias. Also, what's the surface of the trails your on?

thanks Suesquatch and All-Smiles !   :D

I'm living near a wonderful country-side so I'm going on grass terrain and rocks and sometimes slippery, wet surfaces.

so I was looking for a Trail shoes. i have found the Salomon xt wing s-lab ... that seems to be one of the best , selected by some very good runners...

I'm looking for this kind of shoes... what do u think ?

Mario, take a look at the Hoka One One lineup.  I run in the Stinson model and I think it's the best trail shoe I've ever used.  Plenty of cushioning and surprisingly light weight.

Salomon is great.  I also like La Sportiva Wildcat.

One of my more accomplished trail running friends was raving about the Soloman S Lab Sense 3 i believe. The Brooks Cascadias are good as are the Pure Grit.

Brooks Cascadia have a problem now with being slippery on rocks.

So I tried out my new Asics Numbus.

SUPER cushy.  More than I am accustomed to but nice.  They run a bit bigger than the Saucony - I'm 7.5 in a street shoe, always buy 8.5 for running.  I could easily wear the 8 in these.  I'll wear fat Thorlos with them.  The heel is a bit loose.

Having new running shoes is such a nice rush!

You can't swap them for 8s?

Amazon.  I'm not dealing with shipping them back.  Thorlos and lacing will do it.

I thought you were not going to buy from Amazon anymore. Did I get that wrong?

IKR!  I don't get it, if they're going to change a shoe, why not call it a different model?

Yay for new shoes for Sue!  I HATE buying new shoes.  Fortunately the DH and I take the same size and as long as I don't go for the pink ones he's willing to wear my rejects.

I wasn't.  Because Mike.  Then he realized how impossible life without Amazon is so he relented.
