I'm a 17.5 stone, size 12, tall, dog runner with a history of bad knees that has reduced me to running as my only sport! I currently run in old style Saucony Omni Grid which have spared my knees. Unfortunately, their grip is not brilliant in the mud. I've tried specialist running shops around Leeds but they've not been much help. I don't fit into a size 12 Asics. Can anyone suggest anything suitable for an old plodder?

i have to point out im 11.75 stone.
Good cushioning/ excellent grip and also Goretex so dry feet!www.montrail.com
I've also got the new model which are a bit firmer and a bit more support. They're good too.
I'm size 12 too, more-or-less a neutral runner, but a bit lighter than you - only 77kg (work it out).
With persistance, Up & Running (Leeds) sorted me out with Saucony Approach. I took them for their virgin workout this morning in appalling conditions. They were excellent in the wet and mud, and keep the water out well. Only slips were on wet and slightly muddy grass at an angle when I slipped to the side twice.
The ride was comfortable. I can recommend these for the heavier, larger footed runner who needs a trail shoe for muddy conditions.
Thanks everybody. I'll let you know how long they last!
