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!

Seems sensible to me too - even if only to allow one to dry whilst being able to run the next day

Well if anyone is able to locate some size 11 Ravenna 3's I am all ears! I will keep checking ebay but the "major" online/offline shops all seem to be on 4 and 5. Scoured the sales but nadda :-(

So guess I should get fitted for a different pair, if I cannot get another pair of what I currently have. At least then I have options if these ones pack in.

Expensive though :-(

I have only twenty pairs of running shoes. And rarely run in the same pair for more than a couple of days. Keeps my bio-mechanics guessing! :-)

Rather sadly I found 2 pairs that souit me, Mizunos and Asics, I keep old pairs until I have a second pair in reserve, and even buy 2 pairs at once and wear them alternately, just in case....

This does mean I have 6 or 7 pairs at home....

There is a Fetch discount code ... but you will probably have to pay Delivery.

I have in the last 10 minutes taken delivery of a pair of Brooks Pure Cadence. I got these proper cheap and will be road testing them over the next few weeks as a possible replacement for my GTS12's. This will take my active shoes up to a paltry 6! A mere amateur compared to others, and I have no reserve shoes either, at the moment anyway ;-)

Just to be contrary. I have just one pair of road running shoes (Brooks Adrenaline 12) that I wear for all training, parkruns and races. I'm on my 5th pair of those, previously I ran in Brooks Vapour. I usually run 4x per week, so shoes usually get a chance to dry out if they get a soaking.

When the time comes to replace, I run in the new pair (i.e. wear them for shorter sessions only) for 2-4 weeks before throwing out the old pair. I used to follow the "replace after 500 miles" mantra but my last two pairs have averaged over 800 miles.

I also have a pair of Asics Gel Lahar (goretex) for BMF sessions in the muddy park. I don't do any other off-road running.

Yeah they have 11.5 Duncan. The closest I have found to my 11's.
