Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

The white foam on my 2018-era orange VF is a bit scuffed on the underside of the sole but the harder black patches are basically pristine, all original markings clearly visible. I'm obviously kinder on my shoes than some despite being over 80kg! I don't do huge mileage in them, but they've been just about my only race shoe over that period.

I’ve got a new pair of Next% not worn yet but if I’d had the choice, I’d have got another pair of 4%!
They work for me on shorter distances and don’t disappoint at Marathon distance!
Awesome shoe! 👍🏻

The Next% wear better than 4% for me.

Mine are certainly worse than that on the white foam between the blocks. But still fine for running.

That looks like it's been used as a workhorse or you're really hard on shoes.

I going to say 500 odd with a lateral landing being the reason for the high wear.

Nah, I'm actually very light on shoes, but these have done all my sessions since late 2018 and have 1000+.
I now get minimal response from the foam, but that makes the difference on race day when I put on my fresh pair!
