Lemmy Oct 2012 2:15pm, 24 Oct 2012 37 posts	0 Lemmy Just seen advert for these, look kinds luggy and studdy, are they worth investing in for XC season at £30? Or stick with Kanadia's for £38 at sportsdirect.com (not as luggy and studdy) or splash out on Walshes (£60) or INVOV8 (£90)? More Miles running shirts that you get from local races (Tun Wells Half, Benfleet 15, Pleshey Half) are ace... Advice please...

Dude Dec 2013 1:15pm, 27 Dec 2013 5 posts	0 Dude I got a pair of these for just general wear then second pair for the same reason. My Mizuno Harriers fell apart so I tried the first pair of these on a 7 mile, very muddy, trail run. They work fine. There are better, lighter shoes for sure but these work well enough. I probably would not race in them regularly although I did a park run in under 21 minutes so they are not bad. Slightly heavy yes, good grip, oh yes and a good price. For occasional off road training runs in all weathers and over all terrain a real bargin. What about their road shoes, anyone tried those?

I was conscious of them after 13 miles on Xmas day, so they are a little heavy, but as I see it I won't be wearing them to run quickly. I'll be wearing them to run long in beautiful surroundings. Legs didn't complain after running on road in them a bit either, so they'll suit me. Kanadias are my favourite ever shoe, though. Although I haven't run in a pair for some years now.
