Rosehip Mar 2019 8:46am, 23 Mar 2019 12,056 posts	0 Rosehip and no broken toes! I think I may have had a larger than normal glass of wine last night - I don't remember actually letting myself think the idea - let alone post it!
FenlandRunner Mar 2019 11:44am, 24 Mar 2019 1,510 posts	0 FenlandRunner Is it unwise to plan to use the same shoes I wore for the DE99 for the UTLD100? Or should I buy new and break in between now and then?
Rosehip Mar 2019 1:08pm, 24 Mar 2019 12,068 posts	0 Rosehip how many miles are on them and how many more will you put on them in between? what do they look like?
FenlandRunner Mar 2019 1:25pm, 24 Mar 2019 1,512 posts	0 FenlandRunner Rosehip, they have done about 160-170 miles. I only intend on wearing them once more, the recce from Pooley Bridge to Ambleside. So they will have around 200 miles on the day. They look in amazing condition. The last ten miles of the DE99 gave them a good clear. To be fair, bar the fact they smell, they could almost pass for new shoes.
Derby Tup Mar 2019 1:31pm, 24 Mar 2019 30,112 posts	0 Derby Tup Wear them. Good comfortable shoes with a ‘track record’ are invaluable
Rosehip Mar 2019 1:33pm, 24 Mar 2019 12,069 posts	0 Rosehip hmm, not an expert, but I'd wear them - even a new pair supposedly exactly the same isn't always!
Rosehip Mar 2019 1:34pm, 24 Mar 2019 12,070 posts	0 Rosehip if you recce PB to Ambleside - how do you get back? or is this one of the arranged ones?
