RUNNING SHOES

SAUCONY PEREGRINE 13 GTX 

Ah, the Saucony Peregrine. An absolute legend in the trail running game, this grippy, cushioned neutral off-road shoe offers arguably one of the slickest all-weather running experiences around, thanks to its Gore-Tex Invisible Fit technology, which adds superior water-proofing, without the bulk. The PWRTRAC rubber outsole will hang on to most loose surfaces, while a built-in rock guard protects the foot when exploring those trails less travelled.

£135, saucony.com

HOKA SPEEDGOAT 5 GORE TEX 

Hoka was once the king of cushioning, the sultan of support shoes, but today there are many more strings to its bow. The Speedgoat 5 is a ‘workhorse for sloppy conditions’ and who are we to disagree? The Gore-Tex membrane ensures an excellent seal from the weather, while the Vibram Megagrip sole features Traction Lugs for increased grip. That said, these will happily transfer from road-to-trail with little complaint. £160, hoka.com 

ARC-TERYX NORVAN LD 3 GTX 

The Canadian brand might be more often seen draped over rappers and movie stars’ shoulders these days, but it remains true to its extreme condition roots with some truly hardy apparel. The 3 GTX is a lightweight running shoe for the fleet-footed, packing Gore-Tex protection to fend off precipitation. The shoe offers a sock-like fit, complete with 4mm lugs on the sole for added bite into terra not-so firma.
