I went running the other day with my trail shoes and they started to rub the inside of my feet. So I don't really want to run in them at BeachyHead Marathon next week.
So the question is do just run with my road shoes or do I go for new trail shoes and try and bed them for the short time I have left (don't wear anything new on race day!)
I do quite like my road shoes don't really want them ruined!
I know they say never do anything new on race day, but with a week to go you will probably have sufficient time to see if the new trail shoes are ok. I say go for it!
Bed in some new trail shoes, but if the going is dry next weekend your road shoes could still be ok to go. I only remember a couple of short sections where the terrain was really rough. I was wearing hybrid shoes last year.
what hybrids have you got?
They are New Balance, I've had them for a while. Actually I have always found that my New Balances don't really need much breaking in, although as I've only ever had New Balance I can't compare them with anything else 
My first running shoes where NewBalance, i tried to look for new balance hybrids couldnt find any.

These are the mens' version of the ones I have. I like them, they're very light and have wide toe-boxes, they are a bit rigid around the ankle for my liking, but ok with the right socks
nb they're not showing up as hybrid shoes, but they do claim to be "all terrain", and I don't have a problem with them on roads...
thank you! they dont do my size of 11.5 or 12's 
Oh poo! Well, maybe you wouldn't have liked em anyway...
these seem tempting -

Nice colour, nice price!
Have you seen the RunRepeat site? Rather good for reviews, although they haven't spotted your deal on those shoes
I don't know if any of you listen to the "Running Commentary" podcast. During my run today I heard Paul say how he likes to break in new shoes during a race - just a fresh pair of the same kind he has been running in. I'd say, go for it, but stick with the same shoes.
Oh blimey, I wouldn't wear a new brand.i lost 2 nails at the Exmoor marathon because I wore new thick socks. Don't do anything out of the ordinary. Do your trail shoes normally rub or could it be socks related?
.... or is it taper paranoia?
Good luck tomorrow! What did you decide in the end about your shoes??
I have brought some hybrid ones and been trying to wear them in all week. Looking at the pictures on Facebook from the organisers it looks muddy!
Hope they behave for you.
I haven’t got as far as checking out pictures - had a really busy day and still need to feed my grandson and then take him home.
I have packed both my Inov-8s and my Fellraisers though. Along with my waterproof because last year’s(?) looked really foggy.
Woo hoo new shoes and a PB
New running shoes!! 😁😁
Should I get some more shoes?
New shoes and a recovery run
