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!

Thanks for the info guys. Kong had them on special offer for the latest colourway @ £65 so I thought I'd give them a go. Oddly, they are still selling the previous season's model for £125, figure that one out! Flanker - yes, I think you're spot on with the analysis there, they absolutely wrecked my feet when I did the CT in them, mind you it was a blindingly hot day and that might have been a factor.

Re. the MudTalon that was announced yesterday, word is (and this is from a former employee) that this new shoe is going to replace both the X-Talon and Mudclaw, hence the name. I thought this was madness, as surely the X-Talon 212 is their longest-standing model and a bestseller? Apparently not, sales are very regional and Inov8 are seeking to slim down their range. This new shoe had better be a good one, that's all I can say .... but whether it will cater for wide feet I have no idea, if you read the rebranding blurb it suggests that they're going for a "contouring fit", that sounds like normal width only to me. I might be stocking up on 255s if this is the case, mind you I'm not having much luck with those either, I took a brand new pair up to Arran a few weeks back and ripped/damaged several studs :-( I am considering having them resoled already in one of those new Vibram patterns.

Any one braved the weather today? We were stupid enough to go up Ingleborough, rain and avery strong southerly made it pretty bad. Here's yours truly being blown across the summit plateau, other crazies behind me.
