Hybrid (trail and road) running shoes

Hi,

New to the forum, but not to running. Been running for nearly 15 years, almost all of it on trails / fells etc. Hate running on the road (which is why I'm doing the Leeds half-marathon in just over a week!)

So, my only running shoes have been various Inov8 trail / fell shoes ... which are going to be hard work pounding the streets of Leeds. I don't want to 'waste' £70+ on a pair of road shoes, as I'll likely not use them again in the next 5 years, so looking at getting some light trail shoes with good cushioning for tarmac (or some gnarlier road shoes that would handle a bit of light trail use) so I can get my money's worth.

So, what do people recommend? I've a fairly wide foot, and am not used to a cushioned shoe, so nothing with a narrow toe box or a 3" thick sole please!

Cheers all.
