We share our five favourite running shoes for the changing seasons. 

Road running shoes are the most common type of trainers and are usually what most people think of as 'running shoes'. They're designed to be highly shock-absorbant to help protect your joints against the impact of harder surfaces, reducing the risk of injury and giving you a more comfortable ride.

Whether you’re running along towpaths, through fields, or up and down mountain trails, having durable trail running shoes with good grip is vital. Proper footwear will give you the confidence you need in your feet to stopping second-guessing your every step, helping you run faster and more efficiently.

To help you tackle the toughest off-road terrain we’ve put together this guide on how to choose the best trail shoes for you.

Buying a new pair of running shoes is a great feeling, but it’s not often long until they become muddy, dirty, and worn-in; whether that’s from the hard impact of road running or the unpredictable terrain of trail running. As much as this can’t be helped to a great extent, there are ways in which we can reduce the impact of damage so that they last as long as possible. Investing in a good quality pair of runners and making sure they stay in tip-top condition for as long as possible is not only better for your wallet, but the environment too.
