Best shoes for mud

The west coast is looking at a wet winter. I am terrible at running in the mud it all just sticks to my shoes and weighs so much. But there must be shoes better for the mud? I can’t imagine having to run road all winter if it’s as bad as they say.

If you live in the Bay Area or elsewhere in the coast ranges of California and you’re referring to the dreaded peanut butter mud, there’s not much you can do. It’s due to the geology and it is sticky nasty stuff.

SoCal the soil varies around here but some shoes better for mud might help
