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!

Hey guys...anyone have any experience with these bad boys?

I'm picking up that they are great for long Ultras (especially downhills etc.) Just pondering if they are any good for off road ultras?
They're pretty pricey so don't want to gamble on them unless they really are the business! :)

Agree with Johnny, I've got a pair and they are great but i've slipped several times on muddy/wet grass. Will be using them on the L50!

Just dug this thread up and am wondering how ppl are finding these now they've been around for a while?
Thinking of giving them a go.

There are some new ones with less padding. Chap I met at a race recently had them on.
I have sort of abandoned mine, I think they were rubbing me a bit, nothing to do with the Hokaness of them though, it was the same spot that many shoes rub me.
