Running on uneven ground, any shoe suggestions to prevent spraining?

MrTristano · September 2018

Hello runners, I'm looking for some advice regarding shoes. I'll be running with dozens of horses on uneven underground for four days straight (like this: https://youtu.be/9JvyM_cEjuc?t=1h4s). Because all my concentration will be with the horses, I won't be able to see where I'm walking, and it could be slippery. What would you guys recommend I wear on my feet? Any specific shoes y'all think I should wear? I've done it before, obviously, but that's only 3 or 4 laps.

Thanks!

I should think a good pair of trail shoes would be fine, but which brand suits you would be up to you to find out (the Nike Wildhorse seems appropriate

- but I'd really suggest going to a running shop and trying on some to find out which you like).

Interested in this thread. I find my ankles seem to turn real easily. Are karrimor any good?

How about a ankle bandage/strap under your socks? I tend to go over on mine a lot too as I only trail run. Ref shoes I know Altra do a boot version of the Lone Peak shoe that I use.

I tun my right ankle quite easily, however found that the Salomon XA PRO 3D are low to the ground and have a wide sole at the heel area and I felt nice and grounded. Otherwise maybe a running boot?

Howdy, Stranger!
