Probably Nike Pegasus. Not my favourite for anything, but a good all rounder that will tolerate good trail conditions as well as tarmac.
I think that's a good call Velociraptor

Humm maybe Salomon Glide Max TR if it have to work for everything.

Cus i dont wanna have to use NB supercomp on anything but tarmac :)
The salomons are really versatile and will work on trail, gravel and some tarmac.

Hoka Clifton 8's for me, comfortable and fast enough as my all-out days are behind me

I like this thread... where you feel at home with other people who think 25 pairs of trainers is acceptable haha

So for me:

Road/light trail - vibram five fingers everytime (unless its a very long run, in which case Inov8 Parkclaw)

Trails: Inov8 G270 Trailfly

if its only 1 pair its vibram and I will run accordingly

For me for road, if only 1 pair of shoes I would go for the Puma Velocity Nitro, they also happen to be reasonably priced and almost always on offer!

I dont feel qualified to state trail shoes, as I've stopped running trails as I've turned my ankle too often

Not only is it acceptable, it's absolutely necessary.

I have six pairs (I think) in current use, plus two (different) pairs in reserve. Of the current ones, I pick a pair that probably you've never heard of, True Motion Aion.

Took a chance on them as cheap on Sportsshoes. Needed a decent standard all-rounder, and that's just what I got.

sportsshoes.com

(Superceded by an updated model at three times the current price. Hmm, perhaps I should buy another pair, despite having around two years worth of shoes, at projected usage and longevity.)

You are correct I’d not heard of those but great price.

As a Vibram fan and they’re very marmite I’ve bought a few pairs on vinted for a steal one pair £25 the most expensive £49 when they are are circa £120-£140 I can justify multiple pairs 🤣

Got something to say?

So, like many of you here, I'm sure, I have a reasonable number of pairs of running shoes in my current rotation. In the interests of transparency, it's 7 with 3 more pairs banked in readiness. Yes, I'm a running shoe wh%*e

So I put this question to you all: which of the current rotation would be your forever show and why?
