Cotty67 May 2013 10:49am, 29 May 2013 809 posts	Cotty67 I have a pair of Nike pegasus trail trainers, I sometimes do a mixture of trail and road, is it okay to run on pavemens/roads etc with trail shoes or am I better to run with normal ones, when I look at my normal trainers and my trail ones the only difference seems ot be the material. I know this may seem a stupid question but considering I was injured for the best part of a year with a foot injury I don't want to take any chances !! Thanks !
