Ran my local parkrun yesterday - 50% road, 50% towpaths and fields.
Very muddy and slippery on the towpaths and fields.
I only have NB Zante's and they held no grip at all, i had to slow down and run tip-toe it was so slippery.
Any recommendations of a suitable neutral shoe which will give me some grip on both surfaces?
I don't want to spend too much, as the parkrun will be their only use, running on roads in my zante's the rest of the time.
Thank you

might be suitable - proviso is always, try them on first, see if they're comfortable and preferably with a bit of flex. Some cheaper shoes can be like wearing bricks!
I certainly agree shoes will need to be tried, etc, but i'm getting confused as to which shoes would be suitable for both terrains, as filters on website generally define either road or trail.
I have since spotted these https://www.mandmdirect.com/01/details/NB1517 and being New Balance I should be safe ordering the same size as my Zante's....but as you say i really need to try them on first.... guess a visit to the running shop is in order, though don't want to spend much, no more than £50 so that could be a problem.
Well after hearing the Asics Outlets had 40% off lowest price and today was the last day, i dashed to my nearest and managed to pick up a pair of Asics Gel Sonoma 3's for £21 - ideal for parkrun shoes i think, only time will tell, but will try them out this Saturday.
Was surprised the NB outlet didn't stock any trail shoes, though so glad Asics came up trumps, first pair of Asics for me and after trying on various pairs they come up half a size more than my Sketcher trainers, but half a size smaller than my NB road shoes. Sketchers 10, Asics 10.5, NB 11... i must have some weird feet lol
