I’ve run in a couple of those. If you’re mostly on road, muddy paths and fields, I’d lean toward the Pegasus Trail 5 out of that list. It feels the most “road shoe first” but still handles light trail and mud fine. Super comfortable and easy to live with day to day.
The Terrex Soulstride is decent too, but it feels a bit firmer and more trail-leaning. Grip is good, but on longer road stretches I noticed it more underfoot.
Haven’t personally used the Ghost Trail, but friends who like the regular Ghost seem happy with it.
For Peak District stuff in summer (dry-ish trails), any of these would work, but if you’re getting them under £70, Pegasus Trail is probably the safest all-rounder. Road-to-trail shoes are always a compromise anyway.

- **[Adidas Terrex Soulstride WOMEN](https://s.shopee.ph/4VTTB2Zzdq):** Maganda yung grippy traxion outsole niya. Good talaga for hiking and trail running. Maganda grip sa madudulas na surfaces.
- **[Merrell Morphlite WOMEN](https://s.shopee.ph/4VTTB5ic0P):** Sticky rubber outsole niya so solid din grip and traction nito.
- **[Merrell Burlwood Women](https://s.shopee.ph/qaAoOzcZU):** This one is 3.9k na but good rin as trail running shoes. Outsole is made of Vibram so maganda grip niya talaga and good for muddy trails.

I used to love the Adidas Terrex GTX with the unbreakable (titanium?) laces, then they changed and didn’t fit my feet as well.
I now wear Hoka Clifton’s for when I want cushion (they also make the Speedgoat and Challenger trail runners), but mostly my Salomon Speedcross. Note: I have hereditary bunions, so YMMV.
I have and will always say that any disc golf shoe over $100 is a scam. There is no material you can make the bottom of a show out of that will withstand being ground against a concrete slab with full body weight repeatedly.
I am an advocate for the adidas terrex A4. I am able to find these consistently under $75 and they also have a wide version which is great for larger folks. I also have a separate pair of waterproofed goretex terrex that I only wear when needed. Highly recommend have a waterproof pair that you wear sparingly to get them to last years and years.
Not OP, but I wear a pair of Adidas Terrex GTX trail shoes down to -5 or so with merino wool socks. Down to -10 I wear a pair of Merrell Moab Speed 2 GTX boots, and in these temps I wear a pair of insulated Merrell winter boots I've had for years. If I'm going to be doing a mix of asphalt and trails, I'll skip the hiking boots and go straight to the winter boots as I don't want to wear out the sole of my hiking boots. They're not made for asphalt at all.
One thing I'll note is that there have been a lot of complaints about Merrell's quality going to shit the past couple of years. I'll likely be looking at other manufacturers (Lowa, Oboz, Salomon, Haglofs, even Vans have hiking boots now) when I go to replace them, unless Merrell gets its shit together. I'd also recommend that if you can afford it, get the GTX (GoreTex) version. It's, in my experience, the best waterproofing around because it's also breathable. Nothing sucks more than being half way through a hike and your feet are soaked and now freezing cold because the waterproof membrane doesn't breathe.
Where needed, I'll also wear Kahtoola Microspikes where needed, generally on any increase in elevation where the snow's been trampled down to be slippery, or ice. Microspikes can be overkill - they're not quite crampons but they're more than typical ice traction spikes. MEC had them on a pretty deep discount one year, which is why I grabbed them. Any ice spike will probably be sufficient.

Versatile road-to-trail, but struggles on wet, technical downhills.
