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!

I bought a pair recently. I've only put 60K on them so far which included the BUPA 10K but they seem OK so far.

I've got wide feet but my toes have still got plenty of room, fit over the top of my foot is good whereas the Wave Sayonaras they're replacing used to pinch across the top of the foot. Bags of cushioning without being heavy and feeling like you're walking in moon boots. I'm not sure what makes them suitable or not for a heavy runner, I'm a bit cuddly myself at the moment but the padding hasn't collapsed under my bulk yet so I guess they're OK. :-)
