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!

In dry trails I use Asics Fujitrabucos, which are fine for all day wear on hard surfaces. When it’s muddy, I use mudclaws and find them ok on roads too, except that they will probably wear out a bit more quickly

Just a quick update that I got the Hierro 7 and I really like them. The fit is great - I was initially a bit concerned they may be too narrow for me, but they’re fine.

I’ve done a couple of runs, each containing some road, gravel, mud, gloop, tree roots etc, and they’re great. Grip from the outsole is very good, and the midsole has enough cushioning for me.

I’ve nothing much to compare them to, but I’m really pleased with them, so thanks for the suggestion.

Nudging this thread to life again.

Anyone tried the new Inov8 Mudtalon? I got a wide pair tried a few times before Lakeland 100 but dropped with sore left foot at Dalemain. I put this down to leaving my laces too tight with thick double socks and swelling.

However did 4mi today in them, mix of fell / trail / road and it felt like my left foot was falling in / collapsing, quite sore on the outer edge.

Not had this issue with any other shoes so interested to see anyone’s experience with the Mudtalon?

Call me a sceptic, but I wouldn't say the Mudtalon can be considered a "cushioned trail shoe". I bet you'd have more luck on the fellrunners group.

Was planning on posting on both as it’s cushioned but like you say fell rather than trail, but tea arrived so I got interrupted!

Speedgoat. Unless grip is really needed the best I’ve ever worn

Got something to say?

About This Thread

Maintained by smoke free
I did a massive trail run yesterday. Because we've had no rain I work my super cushioned road shoes. There's about 6 miles of tarmac in the 31 mile route.

Today. Tired, natch, but no foot pain.

Got me thinking, should I think about changing from my Inov8 Roclite trailies and go for some with cushioning?

Thoughts?
