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!

I wonder if the lower heel to toe drop will reduce the sensation of being about to be thrown into a series of forward rolls when I'm running downhill. Not that I'm in the market for these, of course.

I didn't see any Hoka Evo Carbon Rocket on the Hoka stand at the London M expo yesterday, although they had a range of their other racing shoes. Missed a trick there.

Watched at London today and the elite packs were a sea of speedy bright green and bright orange vaporfly shoes! Very few up the sharp end not wearing them!

I saw a couple of pairs of the new 4% orange ones in the FGFA start; I have orange envy!

(I also saw someone start in a pair of the old Adidas adios boost orange, which I still have a pair of, from before I broke a toe. Only good for track sessions now)

Had a long chat with a guy in the new greens. He wasn’t very impressed. Made me laugh!

Imagine it may take a few days to adjust to the new sole from the previous shape. Bet all the pros have had them a while.

I spoke to a guy at the start who got them on Thursday. Sounds like a big risk to me.

My orange ones will do for now 😃

yeah if it was just a new pair of the old shape that would be one thing, but going straight out for a marathon on a new sole with less drop seems a big gamble.
