If you are looking for a pair of trail running shoes which can handle mud and soft ground, then you have come to the right place.
Being in the UK you can almost guarantee that you will come across some sloppy conditions when heading off road - especially in winter.
But have no fear we have the shoes to keep you on your feet and get you up that muddy hill!
So if you are looking for a winter trail running shoe, fell running shoe or just something to tackle your local trails - then look no further.
What to look for in a shoe for muddy conditions
There are a few factors to consider when looking for your perfect mud shoe:
Grip
Grip is key when picking a shoe for fell running or running in muddy conditions, this will be the difference between you staying on your feet or not!
There are a few elements which help a shoe grip - pay close attention to the underside of the shoe - with the rubber used on the sole and the lugs (how big they are and how they are spaced out) - being key to providing good grip.
Weight
Balance is key - and not just for keeping you on your feet in the mud - finding the right balance between lightweight and durable is the key for finding the perfect mud shoe.
You want a lightweight shoe for when you need to lift your feet from the mud - but need a good deal of durability and protection.
Waterproof vs water letting
Whether you are looking for a waterproof shoe or a shoe which easily lets water out will depend on how wet you are going to get.
If you are splashing through small puddles - then a Gore-Tex lined Trail Shoe will be great for keeping water out of your shoe and keeping your feet dry.
However if your feet are going to be submerged in water or mud then you might want a shoe which will easily let the water out!
