    A stupid question

    Right when im trying to choose what inov8 shoes to buy the first thing i look at is the stud size. Ive always presumed that the bigger the studs the better the shoe is for fell running. But i was wondering do bigger studs have any other advantages than digging in on wet grass and being more durable. Having owned both mudclaws, mudrocs and flyrocs i have to say that the shoes with less deep studs last longer and there is no difference on the wet rock and they are generally more cushioned. So can anyone answer this.

    the flyrocs may have been an endurance rubber compound as could the mudclaws if they were the 270s 330s have and endurance rubber also the mudroc 280s have sticky rubber and the 290s have a very hard endurance rubber. the thing is with the shoes with sticky rubber they wear down quicker.

    330s + 290s are more durable 270s+280s will have more grip as they have soft sticky rubber ive just ordered some 280s due for ambleside sports at pete blands van

    So 280s are the way to go. You should get a job in a running shop
