This week AW Basics recommends Brooks’ Surge MD shoe

THE design of this spike was inspired by the fighter planes of World War II. It features a Spitfire-style pattern on the outside front of each shoe, but the comparison goes further.

The fighter planes were renowned for their versatility and this is the essence of the Brooks Surge MD. The shoe is perfect for middle-distance runners due to its slightly built up heel, offering great cushioning during track training or races, but it is also a good choice for intermediate-level jumpers and hurdlers.

Or, if you are a combined eventer or compete in a variety of events, then this shoe is for you.

At 175g it is light and fast, but also supportive. It is a competitive price too – costing £40. For more information then log on to www.brooksrunning.co.uk.
