Tempted by some pegasus trail. Goretex version actually cheaper than standard, in black they could be half decent walking shoes if nothing else. As my local parkrun becomes a xc course for the next 3 months, can justify it on that alone.
Anyone tried the pegasus trail? How do they compare to the std pegasus, which I found quite flat. Maybe a good thing for a trail show to not be too cushioned though. And how are they on the road, even my most off road runs are 50% tarmac.
The wild horse arenāt great for running in.
I relegated mine to dog walking shoes after a couple of jogs in them.
Plus, after a year of dog walking theyāre now totally worn down to the sole with cracks in.
(Probably done 3,000km in them)
Are the Pegasus shield on sale?
Theyāre awesome.
Yeah. Ā£58.
Buy them.
Have a proper hard wearing grippy sole, with a nod to trail. Slightly water resistant (proof/repellant/whatevs) and nice and comfy.
Great for my local mud bath parkrun 
Thoroughly recommended
To be honest Iāve bought mine mostly with dog walking in mind. I have a pair of 36s which I didnāt really like for running (the fit was slightly different to the standard shoe) but are almost worn out now so these will replace them in time.
I have some Peg36 shields which are heavily used in the rainy season (January - December) so have got some 38 shields on the way as I find them really versatile across a range of conditions and surfaces
Thatās seriously tempting. I just havenāt been getting on with any of my training shoes recently. I even reverted back to some older (but relatively lightly used) Brooks shoes to try them, but theyāre just making my feet go numb.
At Ā£130, thatās about what I paid for those Brooks shoes a good few years ago, making the Alphas a realistic training shoe priceā¦
Edit - sold out in my size š¤¦
Can you use the birthday code in the sale? Asking for a friendā¦.
Oh man. 50% off in a 10.5. Be good Paul, be goodā¦
Christmas money 
Ha. At this price they are only a little more than the Ascis Cumulus I got earlier this year as an investment in a decent training shoe.
Is it still the general view that the Alpha are more for long distance, and the Vaporfly suited to shorter? Or is it an individual foot/preference thing?
I think itās a bit of an individual thing and sometimes down to the pair you get.
I did a marathon in my alphaflyās though and they were fine. Also did a 10k but wasnāt sure how much they helped.
Tried getting the alphas and zoomfly 4 today and nothing in my size. Had to console myself with a pair of zoom rival spikes instead. Dragonflyās do not seem to exist anymore according to Nike ?
Temptingā¦Iām resisting so far
More back in stock, so nabbed a pair
Ordered the Juniper Trail and Peg Shields for Ā£104.
Canāt go wrong for that 
Not directly road shoe related but I think this bans the dragonfly track spike. Am sure thatās 25 mm?
The zoomfly 4 became available in size that my son and I use, so a few pairs purchased and will be stashed away until he needs them when he heads to Uni this year.
Listed as a <20mm spike on this WA list

Maybe theyāre bang in the new limit then (and probably why the limit is what it is!)
Ah, thatās good. So now decision is Air Zoom Victory or ZoomX Dragonfly?
So Juniper Trail vs Wild horse 7?
Ā£37.72 vs Ā£57.96 so price wise is a no brainer
Iām not sure the juniper have deep enough lugs for proper mud and snow though.
I havenāt had a pair of trail shoes since I left my beloved speed cross 3 behind after a ski trip. You could run through anything on them, although pavement was a bit jarring.
