Has anybody experienced any problems with the metal dobs on Inov - 8 Mudclaw 340's? I've just had to return a pair after they started breaking through the base of the rubber stud where it meets the rest of the sole after just 5 and a half miles! (and it was happening in 3 places!)
I've heard of this before. Apparently, it's because the rubber is too soft a compound. Companies like Silva and Jalas, who have been making 'O' shoes with these dobs for years and years make the sole of a harder compound, reasoning that the 'bite' of the dobs makes up for the loss of frictional grip.
