Always been a fan of inov-8 shoes and have had no issues what so ever with e´m.. They preform straight out of the box..! But for some reason i always by other brands to test them, (gear junkie).. S-lab Sense is an interesting shoe but as with the MT110 they are designed to work on nice mountain trails. Swedish terrain seems a lot rougher. Many trails got parts of orienteering like terrain. I´m guessing S-lab Sense take beating the same way as MT110 and tare apart quickly. Lately i been thinking, why change a winning concept? Enter Inov-8! Thanks for the help, Roclites 285 is on their way to Sweden..!
