SSLHP (Shoes smell like horse piss) 7 Aug 5:31pm, 7 Aug 2018 373 posts	SSLHP (Shoes smell like horse piss) I feel that in the last 4-5 years, Inov-8 have created too many different shoes only to discontinue them 12 months later. It's usually the ones I really like too!	0
flyingfinn 7 Aug 6:08pm, 7 Aug 2018 1094 posts	flyingfinn I think that's a very common feeling SSLHP and symptomatic of what's driving the company. They want us all to constantly update our shoes to the latest model/colour pattern, all most of us want is to be able to keep buying a shoe that we've found that works. Sadly about the only company that bucks that trend is Walsh but their shoes are rather like marmite. You either love them or their last doesn't suit your foot and they rip your heels to pieces. :-/ The only tactic that I can suggest to counter it is that when you find last years mode/colour that you really like well discounted somewhere you stock up with several pairs and put them away until you need them. I did at one point have half a dozen pairs of x-talon 212s boxed up in the cupboard after finding them in my size at around 40% of the RRP.	0
