There’s quite a lot of chat around shoe choices, especially on the run up to races, parkruns (so much so that the UK parkrun tourists Facebook group has tried to restrict such topics to “What Shoes Wednesday”). This author was also chastised (by his wife of all people!!) for having too many shoes. So as a bit of fun, I thought I’d show that every pair has a purpose. And I don’t even have any XC spikes (yet).

Mind you, my collection is across all disciplines, a certain longstanding member has nearly as many just for XC!…
If anyone is interested, my shoe lineup from top to bottom, left to right is as follows:
- Kalenji “At Start” all-purpose spikes (6mm for track)
- Hoka One One Carbon X 2
- Salomon Speedcross 3
- Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 36 (in Black & Green)
- Saucony Peregrine 10
- Nike Air Zoom Pegasus Shield 38 (orange laces) & 36 (black laces)
- Salomon kalalau “Urban Trails”
