take them back to where you bought them - that's who you have the contract with.
PS my mudclaws are great and I have 3 older kids running who all wear inov8 with no problems, one even plays social football in his

How many miles have you done in these 4 months? Have you spent the time cleaning your shoes after each run, or have you just left them to rot?
And where are they coming apart?

TBH its just good business sense.. why make a shoe that can last 600 miles when you can make a pair that lasts 300 miles..
My baregrips were in pieces after little over 100 miles and my 190's barely see 200 miles.. which is normally 15-20 runs.. I still love wearing the 190's but try not to wear them too much. My solomans have only done 200 miles since christmas and are already shoeing tearing at the toe box..
Running is getting an expensive business..
Yep, they are gradually turning it into the marketting equivalent of mountain biking.Quote:

Is it so wrong to be pissed ? All I wanted was a contact for inov-8 yet I get a few bitches making sarcastic comments. Maybe I was wrong to seek advice from such an unfriendly forum.. But suppose the average age on here is late 60's .. But thanks for the useless comments... I'll seek advice from people who know what they are talking about. ( not an elderly running forum )
oh dear!Quote:

Crikey. An angry young man. Reminds me of John Osborne.
Ahem!Quote:

I contacted Inov-8 and they replaced them for nowt. All I had to do was destroy the old shoes and send them a picture.
Whatever you think of Inov8 shoes I reckon that was good customer service.
Despite all the connoiseurs out there, to me a shoe is largely just a shoe. The mudclaw sole is excellen and I just wish someone would do resoles - I'd get all my old work shoes re-done with mudclaws!
The explosion of varieties of shoes in the name of choice serves no-one but the marketeers - like I said, they're gradually turning fell running into the marketing equivalent of mountain biking.
Anyway, I'm off to change me colostomy bag.
My fellcrosses are up 100 miles now and still look brand new, I need to try them at race speed down a muddy boggy track just to get a feel for the gripQuote:

Jesus, right I asked for contact details not a lecture for ****s sake .. Go and put your teeth in a jar... And stop grooming kids I'm only 15
Ah that explains a thing or two. Seriously just chill out. There is no need to start ranting at this stage and complaining about the product. Send them back and see what the response is. If you don't get a replacement pair then by all means start ranting and slagging off the company.Quote:

And andy h stop sending me PM I'm not into that you perve.. I might just report this forum
Seriously just listen to yourself. You're being a prick. The people you are now slagging off have a wealth of knowledge that will help you out. They are also the people that run the races you may enter, and are the members of clubs you may join. Just remember you reap what you sow young un.Quote:

Splendid thread :thumbup:
For the record my Inov-8s have always lasted really well :closed:
Interesting that he seems lakes based. Lead me to a certain Krumble aroma too. What I also find amusing is that his profile says he's 41! I actually believed him when he said he was 15. Maybe thats mental age of 15 :w00t:Quote:
