Love running in the rain but this is a bit much to try them out and don't think the daylight will recover from now on. Will take them out tomorrow Tried on loads of trail shoes the guy said were good for trail and cushioned enough to handle a bit of road. Most were too much like my road shoes, couple didn't have much more grip than my sausony ones. Went for Brooks as not quite so cushioned but better grips and didn't feel so clunky on my feet. I had a loverly choice between a bright putrid yellow and bright putrid red ! Both were exactely the right combination and shade of yellow & red to clash with my Fetch top.

Feet aren't strong enough for that yet - but I'm definitely getting there
