Sports Direct Gelert range have waterproof ones under £30. (ID)

I’m on my third pair ASICS thx which are pretty good but not cheap. If you can get to the ASICS outlet in Clark’s village they are a bit cheaper. (R)

You could always use local shops, and get served by someone who knows about shoes, and help keep shops alive. Portishead sports shop, on the high streets is worth a visit. (C)

Easy Runner, North Rd, Henleaze for running shoes. 10% discount for hashers & they know a lot about fitting. (SM)

HEAD shoes were broad giving good stability & grip

Online

Online is a good option if you know your size. ASICS are pretty good at least the soles don’t fall off quite as quickly as Karrimor. I have been using a polyurethane sealant Sikaflex EBT+ to reglue soles with good results. All the really ‘good’ adhesives are banned even in China due to VOC concerns.
More Mile Cheviot pace are cheap and very grippy. Soles have started to detach but will try to reglue with EBT+

Wiggle do free returns and you have up to a year to return. I order several to try and then want to.keep most of them 😂 (SY)
