Does anyone know anything about different types of running trainers?? I have been looking for a new pair of running trainers but I am a bit lost, can't find any reviews that help in terms of whether or not they are good for roads/paths or just off-road/trail (or both which is what I need). I started running learly last year and was wearing just a cheap pair of slazenger trainers and soon bined them for some ASICS seen in the link below. >>> http://www.simplysports.co.uk/asics/gel ... te_men.htm I have been recomended Nike Air Max 90 trainers, but a bit unsure. Also been looking at ASICS Patriot 4 running shoes which seem fine, but don't know. But today I went to gooutdoors and had a look at their selection, didn't have much but they had a pair of ASICS GEL-TRAIL LAHAR 4 and was very impressed at how good they felt but have been trying to find out a bit about trail trainers whether or not they will be ideal for me. I have read that the grip will wear down after a while on trail shoes if used on tarmac...which is what i will be running on. BASICALLY I WANT TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THE ASICS GEL-TRAIL LAHAR 4 WILL BE ALRIGHT FOR ME TO RUN ON THE ROADS AND PATHS WHERE I LIVE WITH NO PROBLEM AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM WEARING DOWN AND BECOMING USELESS. IT SAYS THAT THEY ARE GOOD ON ALL TERAIN..DOES THIS INCLUDE TARMAC...ANY HELP PLEASE???? http://www.asics.co.uk/running/products ... -g-tx-men/
