    Just a thought Hopey - I never use the top lace holes on my PBs as I find it restricts ankle movement. Might it be worth trying them not laced right up to the top?

    The shoes would fall off as they have a different lacing system.

    Just spoke to Walsh and managed to get the last size 10 of the old PB trainer!
    They aren't making the old shoes any more and I am the only person to have said they don't like the new ones, so if you don't like the news ones then let them know and they might make a small amount of the old ones!

    Re: Walsh Elite

    i bought a pair of these elite trainers as a longer alternative to my gladiators...oh dear.

    dont know about the extra support, but maybe it explains why i keep going over on my ankle's, i.e rolling out onto the edge of my foot....getting a bit p****d off with it though and am thinking of binning them and sticking with the Glads whatever the distance

    I had similar problems when I tried a pair of the black and yellow PB Xtremes. I found them very unstable compared with the good old PB Racer. Perhaps I'll go back to Glads although my last pair fell apart disappointingly quickly.

    I have trouble with the Extremes too, the extra rigidity has me going over on my ankle a lot....hope the Elites are not the same...time to stock up on old PB's

    Yes they are just like running in the xtremes.

    If enough people let walsh know they don't like the elite they will make the old PBs, but let them know!
