If you’ve signed up for an event but don’t want to break the bank you’ll be pleased to know these cheaper trainers are great alternatives to some of the more expensive options out there.
When looking for your next shoe that’s suitable ensure that there’s enough grip on the sole to maintain grip in wet muddy conditions, and that they drain well.

Adidas Kanada Trail
The More Mile shoe has strong grip but will probably won’t last as long as the Adidas Kanada Trail. The Adidas Kanada Trail are a longer lasting shoe with strong grip too. The only weakness is the flap at the back which can get caught on cargo nets when crawling - so just be aware of it. Incredibly affordable at around £50 they even come in pretty much every colour possible. Recommended as your first shoe.
