Stander Feb 2012 3:46pm, 25 Feb 2012 6,152 posts	0 Stander I generally only have one pair if trail shoes and one set of road shies at any given time. Will have two pairs if I am in process of retiring an old pair.
Bru-Bru Feb 2012 4:53pm, 25 Feb 2012 1,145 posts	0 Bru-Bru I have trail canoes and cross country spikes and an old pair of road shoes I can't bear to throw away and a new pair that is slightly too small and a new pair that is half a size bigger. In fact I have a ridiculous number of pairs of shoes but Iam sure it helps avoid stress injuries to keep swapping them around.
cackleberry Feb 2012 4:57pm, 25 Feb 2012 99 posts	0 cackleberry I have a pair of trail shoes, my New Balance for road running and some Asics Gel thingys my OH got me for my birthday. Can't quite decide if I like the Asics ones, so they may get used for short runs and gym stuff. They were supposed to replace the road shoes... I race in whichever pair is appropriate.

I'm a girl, what can I say?!
Muddie Feb 2012 10:25am, 27 Feb 2012 84 posts	0 Muddie I remember my first pair of running shoes sigh Asic gel somethingorother for £35 from JJB sports. Bought the cheapest Asics that fit because someone told me they were a good brand. I only went running with them to shut them up and the promise of food afterward ..... I was very surprised to find that I quite enjoyed it [the running as well as the food].

Mark J Feb 2012 3:53pm, 27 Feb 2012 668 posts	0 Mark J I have four pairs on the go currently. Always get fitted for new shoes when I buy if going for a different brand or model to usual or if model updated a la Pegasus. 2 x Nike Pegasus, use most of all. They're a stiff shoe and having had numerous other types, these are the only shoes that don't give me any blisters over distance running. I rotate between them on long runs to give them a chance to recover shape etc. Don't know if that's relevant or not but I like to. 1 x Addistar Ride 3's. Quite a nice shoe but don't run more than 6 milers in them. 1 x Saucony Grid's. A wider shoe, very cushioned but only use for very short runs as they give me an instep rub, although they are comfortable.
