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!

Very personal, isn't it? I don't need cushioning either, so prob not a very good advisor. Never got on with Roclites. Loved Mudclaws, X-talons (still my go to) for grip, but not much cushioning. Hoka Rapa Nui protected my feet over ultras, soles and toes, but rubbish grip. Hope you find one that works. :-) G

I was going to suggest going up half a size and fit an insole in. I use felt! Which gets flattened at some point, but it gives extra "bounce" and for me: warmth!

Well, inov-8 makes insoles for sale now inov-8.com so you could try adding them to the shoe you like for grip.

Got something to say?

About This Thread

Maintained by Homer
years ago, I used to run off-road in Inov8 Roclites.....then one day I discovered Hoka Speedgoats and never looked back.

They are just sooooo much more comfy

BUT

This time of year comes around and the mud defeats the 5mm lugs on the Speedgoats.

BUT

I dont much fancy using the Roclites.... as much as I'd like the extra grip, I just want the plusher ride

So..... Any suggestions please?
