Whenever I decide on a pair I like they're bloody impossible to find. I'd like either of; INOV8 ROAD X-TREME 220 Mizuno Wave Ekiden 9 And also, whilst I've got your attention, opinions on which is better for off road out of; Inov8 x-talon Inov8 terraclaw Appreciate the help.

The_Saint Oct 2016 1:56pm, 10 Oct 2016 5,899 posts	0 The_Saint X-Talon are a well-established shoe (I bought them as an advance order in 2008 or 2009), I use mine (212s) exclusively for cross country but they are very popular at fell races too. I don't have any experience of the Terraclaw, the equipment section of the FRA forums may be worth a look forum.fellrunner.org.uk
