tried my new 272's this weekend.....i have wide feet, and the excessive width of the shoe made them feel very poor on steep descents & coupled with the useless laces, far worse than my old 330 which are a closer fit.

i also thought the 'grippy' rubber studs seemed a bit more flexible and not give the traction of a more solid stud.....Walshes next i think...too much BS with inov-8
