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!

Agree JDA, the sole on the left is a bit more than just dirty though - the foam has a lighter cover on it that is damaged and exposes the darker foam underneath. Still seems cosmetic to me.

Oranj, as it happens I threw a pair of Hoka out last night. They wore heavily, quickly. Good thing is there’s a big wedge to wear!!

That's 600 quid of kit... or 100 quid a shoe... I'll just leave that here :-)

For my last pair of racing Hokas I bought some 2mm rubber sheet off eBay and cut and shoo-gooed it to the worn areas, something I'd not done since i was a poor student trying to make my trainers last a bit longer! photos.app.goo.gl

First race in them this morning and I’m sold. A big pb but more importantly they felt great all the way around.

Only thing I notice is my calf’s were feeling a bit sore from an early point. So I need to get a few more runs done in them before stepping up to a marathon in them

They aren't working when they are in the air Chris! (Unless you believe the aero hype which I suspect is mostly bollocks)
