Mens Running Shoes - Road to Mud

[nukemdukem]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has suggestions on a good running shoe that works well on road and mud around a 5-8k distance.

I've been looking at some trail running shoes with mudclaws, but i'm not sure if i can run with them on the road / pavement?

The course i run starts of on road / pavement but then goes into a forest onto a mud path - when it rains the mud becomes soggy. its 50% road / pavement and 50% forest.

So ideally i'm looking for a shoe that can handle both and doesn't get affected by being wet (running through puddles).

Any recommendations welcomed.

Many thanks

cool thanks guys

i've done a lot of research based on the feedback, now going to go and see these shoes in the shops and see what takes my fancy:

Mizuno wave
salomon XA pro 3D
NB leadville v3
NB 880v7 GTX

will let everyone know how the running goes with whichever one i choose.

Picked up the Salomon XA pro 3D, they felt good - was concerned about the weight (400g) but was on a special deal (50% off) so got a real bargain.

Will test them out this weekend.
