    Hope you've got narrow feet for those innov8 trail runners.

    Only ever found one pair that would fit me. Found them to be quite heavy and hard, as in not very cushioned. The uppers split quite quickly too.

    Found them to be very grippy on wet rocks.

    I've only kept them for this reason - good for river walks during the summer.

    I'm buying them in a half size bigger, the ones I've got are as you say, bit tight in usual size.

    These one are cushioned and supported a lot more than my current ones. I've currently got those I posted a bit further up the thread but they've split after using them for three years.

    The first one comes with a red nose and white face paint?

    Got a pair of Adidas terrex gore tex for walking, rock hopping etc.

    Brilliant shoes. More like a trainer than a walking shoe, so they are nice and comfy and light too. Great grippy sole, which is ESSENTIAL for me. I’ve had walking shoes before that are fkin lethal on wet rock, but the terrex just stick like glue.

    Plus they are fully waterproof with the Gtx

    Have looked at those.

    My Mrs gets a 30% discount with all Adidas stuff with Unidays.

    Still might but I can't try on at the minute, obviously, and those Inov8 are highly rated, that's all I can base it on a for now.

    Plus, the ones I had before were excellent.

    Yeah mate, they do.

    They also do them in some bland colours that come without the nose, but I quite fancied a bit of colour for sunnier weather.

    I've got this pair of Adidas Milano in red and I never wear them, so could well be I tone them down a bit and go with the blue ones instead.

    Never had any Inov8. Had Mammut, Garmont (shocking in the wet). Another pair of Garmont sticky star that I use for cycling. And the Terrex.

    The Terrex are brilliant. Nice sticky sole and they’ve also got those cinch laces so no faffing around with laces coming undone and trying to tie them back up when you’re wearing gloves.

    These with the discount would be £80.

    Bit of nice bright gayness here too, could be an option.

    I like the bright colours on footwear...I mean..it helps that I’ve got beautiful skin tbh and the contrasts are amazing.

    I like the gay pair above and the ones that come with a red nose on previous page.

    if I’m in absolute warrior mode then I’d have to find an all black pair.

    I’m down with the lary colours. I’ve got the swifts which I think are the only ones with the cinch laces ? They are a bit more of a hiking shoe than a running shoe, but those ones you’ve posted look even comfier tbh.

    Just had a read through some reviews and they aren't much cop on road apparently. It's very rare I wouldn't have to be on road for a period before hitting some soft ground.

    That's why I'd decided on the Inov8, they seem perfect for both surfaces. Although not gore tex.

    But they are orange, lime green or turquoise so tick the lary as **** box.

    Still undecided!

    What you reckon on those Challenger OG then?

    They'd be the first Nike I've owned since I used to buy Air Jordan's. Fancy a change.

    Don't do Nike tbh. Just don't like the brand. Not for any ethical reasons just prefer addidas.

    Got these last week, 35nuggs 20210220_155147.jpg
