And they're extremely light and well cushioned.But the heels on the Nike carbon plates are extremely narrow. If you’re landing on the heel of a shoe like that for example it’s an ankle injury waiting to happen

Risso, there are no right or wrong shoes, just ones you feel comfortable wearing. I have been wearing Adidas Supernova's or the latest hybrid of them for twenty five odd years and wouldn't wear another shoe as they seem a perfect fit for me.

When I went to Uni about 150 years ago I got my first pair of Nike Waffle trainers ,which were very rare in those days. Compared to my old trainers they were like floating on air. Because they were so comfortable I got carried away and suddenly started pounding out 50 miles a week on the streets of Manchester. Result: I ran brilliantly for about 2 months and then got a stress fracture and was out for the rest of the season. Moral of the story was that however good your shoes are, you still need to up your training gently.
I’d heard Innov were the go to brand for trail and off road enduro stuff short of proper fell running stuff so thanks for the rec.

Those where blue with yellow stripe.I do have a Nordic foot; wide not slim so shoes from Italy or therabout dosent fit me but Adidas (Germany) is good and Us made and British. I do have a pair of Adidas. And a pair of Innov (UK) and I will recommend Innov if you like me like running at a path in the terrain. Innov has been a bit of a revelation for me and some of my friends running a path / terrain. I dont do asphalt cause my knees.
That's good to hear, next you'll be needing a percussion massage gun for recovery, I bought a cheap Chinese jobby initially to see if I liked it and if it worked, it did so I went all out and bought a Theragun Elite about 3 months ago, wouldn't be without it now.
My Garmin fenix arrived today. Got a really good Bl*ck Fr*d*y deal on it yesterday from Am*z*n.Trying to set up it is a bit complicated though! All I've managed to do so far is get a fake Rolex watch face on it!
