For more demanding offroad tending towards offtrail, I like inov8s, but there are so many I wouldn't recommend one, you'll have to try some!

Minimag Aug 2020 10:59pm, 19 Aug 2020 88 posts	Quote Pin Minimag Thanks for your recommendations guys, my problem today was doing 3 disciplines at different times on the same day in wet conditions, and only having one pair of relatively waterproof shoes, that of course got wet from the first. Those shoes (some cheap Puma Tuzon I think) worked fine for the first outing, but putting them on for cycling and running after was not so good, I saw a deal on some Adidas Terrix Agravic, which at least gives me 2 options, but I hear you that no solution will be perfect

In fact those are the only trail shoes I have as where I live it’s pretty much impossible to trail run without having to run on the road too for some of it.
